SUMMARY:Dedication of St. John Lateran
DESCRIPTION:Image: Archbasilica of St John Lateran\, Rome | photo by Livioandronico2013\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDedication of St. John Lateran\nSaint of the Day for November 9\nClick to hear audio clip ► \nStory of the Dedication of St. John Lateran\nMost Catholics think of St. Peter’s as the pope’s main church\, but they are wrong. St. John Lateran is the pope’s church\, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome where the Bishop of Rome presides. \nThe first basilica on the site was built in the fourth century when Constantine donated land he had received from the wealthy Lateran family. That structure and its successors suffered fire\, earthquake\, and the ravages of war\, but the Lateran remained the church where popes were consecrated until the popes returned from Avignon in the 14th century to find the church and the adjoining palace in ruins. \nPope Innocent X commissioned the present structure in 1646. One of Rome’s most imposing churches\, the Lateran’s towering facade is crowned with 15 colossal statues of Christ\, John the Baptist\, John the Evangelist\, and 12 doctors of the Church. Beneath its high altar rest the remains of the small wooden table on which tradition holds Saint Peter himself celebrated Mass. \n\nReflection\nUnlike the commemorations of other Roman churches\, this anniversary is a feast. The dedication of a church is a feast for all its parishioners. In a sense\, St. John Lateran is the parish church of all Catholics\, because it is the pope’s cathedral. This church is the spiritual home of the people who are the Church.
