The land was offered by the Lateriani family. The Lateran basilica was built to become the cathedral of the diocese of Rome and the mother church of all the churches of Rome and of the world. The Lateran basilica is the official cathedral of the Pope, although since the 15 th century, the Pope almost always officiates at Saint Peter s basilica. The Church has us celebrate today the consecration of the Lateran basilica. But, the readings of the Mass are directed at discovering the real house of God which is the Christian community. You are the temple of God, affirms Paul to the Christians of the city of Corinth. This temple is not the fruit of our work; it is rather a construction made of living stones, this is the house God has built to be his dwelling. This is what God reveals to us. Let us give grace to God for who we are, a humble community inhabited by the glory of God. La Dedicacion de la Basilica de Letran La Basílica San Juan de Letrán fue construida para la Iglesia por el Emperador Constantino en 324 en Roma. El terreno fue ofrecido por la familia Letrán. La basílica fue construida para ser la catedral de la diócesis de Roma y para ser la iglesia madre de todas las iglesias de Roma y el mundo entero. La Basílica Letrán es la catedral oficial del Papa, aunque desde el siglo 15, el Papa casi siempre usa la Basílica de San Pedro. Pero el esfuerzo principal es descubrir la casa de Dios que es la comunidad Cristiana. Tu eres el templo de Dios. Declara Pablo a los Cristianos de Corintio. Dios revela que nosotros somos las piedras vivas donde Dios habita. Somos una comunidad humana donde la Gloria de Dios habita. Dédicace de la Basilique du Latran La basilique de saint Jean de Latran a été construite par l empereur Constantin *en 324* sur un terrain de la colline de Rome offert par la famille des Lateriani. La basilque du Latran a été édifiée pour être la catédrale du diocèse de Rome et l Eglise mère de toutes les églises de Rome et du monde. Elle est la catédrale officielle du pape, même si, depuis le 15e siècle, le pape officie presque toujours à la basilique Saint Pierre. L Eglise nous fait fêter aujourd hui la consécration de la basilique du Latran. Mais l ensemble des lectures de la messe vise à nous faire découvrir la vraie maison de Dieu qui est la communauté chrétienne. Vous êtes le temple de Dieu, affirme saint Paul aux chrétiens de la ville de Corinthe. Ce sanctuaire n est pas d abord le fruit de notre travail; il est plutôt un édifice fait de pierres vivantes, la maison que Dieu s est construit pour y demeurer. C est ce que saint Paul nous déclare. Rendons grâce à Dieu pour ce que nous sommes, humble communauté, mais habitée par la gloire de Dieu. Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep and doves, as well as money changers. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, spilled the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, Take these out of here, and stop making my Father s house a marketplace.
