TODAY, DEDICATION OF THE LATERAN BASILICA IN ROME: We celebrate a special solemnity today…the solemnity of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, which was a Papal Cathedral in ancient times.  It is a symbol of our religious and Catholic communion.  The dedication of the Papal Cathedral is celebrated in the whole Diocese, and we are united with the Holy Father to celebrate this dedication with the whole Church.  Closing and demolishing a church makes us very angry.  But we know that a single soul has greater value than any church, because man has an immortal soul. There will be no churches, no cathedrals in eternity, but the saved and redeemed man will be with his God.  All churches and cathedrals are built according to our human imagination, our human plans, and according to man’s picture.  Only man is made in God’s image.  We praise God in our churches for our unity and our political and religious leaders, and also for each other.    

    

DANAS: POSVETA LATERANSKE BAZILIKE: I ove nedjelje, 32.  kroz crkvenu godinu, slavimo jedan poseban blagdan.  To je blagdan posvete Lateranske bazilike, koja je od starine bila Papina katedrala.  Ona je simbol našega vjerničkog, katoličkog zajedništva.  Kao što se dan posvete stolne crkve ili katedrale slavi u cijeloj biskupiji, tako i dan posvete Papine stolnice slavi cijela Crkva.  Slaveći ovaj blagdan, sjedinjujemo se sa Svetim ocem, ali i s cijelom Crkvom.  Znamo koliko nas je žalostilo rušenje naših crkava u nedavnom ratu.  Ali znamo i to da je i od najveće crkve vrjedniji jedan jedini čovjek, jer ima besmrtnu dušu.  U vječnosti crkava i hramova ne će biti, ali će biti spašeni i otkupljeni čovjek sa svojim Bogom.  Sve se crkve i svi hramovi prave po ljudskoj zamisli, po čovjekovu planu, na čovjekovu sliku, a samo je čovjek načinjen na Božju sliku.  Okupili smo se u ovoj crkvi kao Crkva, zajednica vjernika, da Boga slavimo, da za naše jedinstvo i naše duhovne vođe, ali i za sebe i jedni za druge molimo, pa otvorimo svoja srca pokajanjem, kako bi u njima mogao boraviti Bog.
