Regardless of the religion people convert to, wherever Africans are, they carry their religiosity with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This phrase comes to mind as I consider and reflect on today\u2019s feast, its history, the culture, traditions and theological symphony: God\u2019s life radiates outward from the place of divine presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do we celebrate the dedication of a church today? Why does this feast override the sequence of Sundays in Ordinary Time? Why is it so important? Perhaps some historical background will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basilicasangiovanni.va\/en.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome<\/a> was occupied in ancient times by the palace of the Lateran family. It came into the hands of Emperor Constantine through his wife, Fausta, who gave it to the Church no later than 311.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a council was held there in 313, it became known as the \u201cmother and head of all the churches of the city (Rome) and the world,\u201d as well as the official residence of the pope, bishop of Rome, and the cathedral for the diocese of Rome. As such, the basilica has functioned as a sign of unity for all Christians since the 4th century and has the potential to serve in this way for all Catholic Christians in our times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/05\/true-peace-a-maryknoll-reflection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gospel reading<\/a>, Jesus is angered because the temple, the center of worship and God\u2019s dwelling place, is treated like a marketplace. In the second reading, Saint Paul reminds us that we, as individuals and as a body, are God\u2019s temple, not just as a center of worship, but as a place of God\u2019s dwelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We run the risk of allowing ourselves as temples to be treated like a marketplace. Usually, a lot of busyness, like traffic, goes through us, temples: job, family, social interactions. Nobody is exempt from inner traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If we use the internet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/09\/spirit-of-mission-is-ai-good-news-artificial-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">information traffic becomes a flood<\/a>. We risk losing Saint Paul\u2019s perspective and allowing the noise of our lives to drown out God\u2019s voice. As a result, when God calls, all lines are busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flowing through today\u2019s readings is a single current: God builds a living temple overflowing with life. The prophet Ezekiel shows the source (water gushes from beneath the temple). Saint Paul reveals the structure (the community of believers). Saint John unveils the cornerstone (Jesus replaces the physical temple with his own body). God\u2019s presence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/06\/a-new-mission-presence-in-chad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moves from place to person<\/a> to people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Church inherits the mission of the temple, called to carry divine life into the world\u2019s deserts. In a spiritually parched age, believers are to be like a river: bringing healing to bitterness, unity to division, and renewal to exhaustion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we continue to reflect on the unique and dynamic nature of the church, let us keep in mind that the Christian temple is not a museum. It is a living ecosystem in motion, flooding places of death with baptismal grace. We do not merely visit the presence of God; we carry it. Because Christ has become the new temple and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2025\/03\/spirit-of-mission-christ-our-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">his Spirit<\/a> dwells in us, new life is meant to flow outward from the Church until every sea of death becomes fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Maryknoll Seminarian Josephat Odundo earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in business information technology in Nairobi before entering Maryknoll from his home diocese of Bungoma, Kenya.
