Our Soul is Made to Be the Temple of God – Nov 09 – Homily – Fr Bernard

 

Fr Bernard gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome (Nov 09, 2024), explaining the  relationship between the consecrated building and the temple of our soul.

We must offer sacrifices on the altar of our hearts, so as the temple should be resplendent with beauty and sanctity, so should our hearts be clean and brilliant with the light of truth and charity, so that He who dwells therein may be honored as He should. For our hearts to be well ordered to holiness, we should appeal to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who will help us be worth temples of the divinity.

Ave Maria!
