The dedication of the Lateran Basilica

Tags:
The Church celebrates the feast of the dedication of the Lateran Basilica, the first basilica in Christendom, whose Bishop is the successor of Saint Peter. Saint Josemaría wrote in The Forge: “Our Holy Mother the Church, in a magnificent outpouring of love, is scattering the seed of the Gospel throughout the world; from Rome to the outposts of the earth. As you help in this work of expansion throughout the whole world, bring those in the outposts to the Pope, so that the earth may be one flock and one shepherd: one apostolate!”
