Clergy Thoughts: Today we recall the Basilica Saint John of Lateran, the Pope’s own church, the Cathedral of Rome. The gospel's message about the purification of the temple of Jerusalem is apt for today’s feast. The Jerusalem temple serves as a symbol of the Church of today, in the twenty-first century. It conveys both the idea of the temple’s sacredness, and also the need for constant purification of the structures of our Church. The building we call church is there to help us to express our identity as a people of faith called to worship God through Christ in the Spirit. Our whole lives are to be a movement towards God, through Christ and in the Spirit. This is what it means to be a church, to be the temple of God in the world. This is the heart of our baptismal calling. May we be the true Church of Christ in our lives in our times. Amen! Fr Alex
