    The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica | Why the Pope’s Cathedral Matters to Every Catholic | November 9 | Podcast

    Why do Catholics around the world celebrate the dedication of a church most of us will never visit? Every November 9, we honor Saint John Lateran in Rome. It is the Pope’s cathedral, and one way to understand its place in our faith is to listen closely at Mass in our own parish. In this episode of The Catholic Universe, Francis Mossang traces the basilica’s story back to the fourth century and reflects on the readings for its feast: water flowing from the temple in Ezekiel’s vision, Jesus speaking of the temple of his body, and Saint Paul reminding a community that the Holy Spirit dwells among them. We close with a prayer for our parishes and a moment to remember someone by name. Who taught you the Sign of the Cross, brought you to Mass, or sat beside you when it was hard to pray? 📖 Recommended reading: The Church: Unlocking the Secrets to the Places Catholics Call Home by Cardinal Donald Wuerl and Mike Aquilina. If this feast makes you curious about the altar, the baptismal font, or the bishop’s chair, this book is a companion for your next visit to church.

    Blessed John Duns Scotus: How Mary Was Saved by Christ | Saint of the Day | Catholic Universe Podcast

    If Mary was preserved from original sin, why did she call God her Savior? In this five-minute episode of Saint of the Day, I tell the story of Blessed John Duns Scotus, the Scottish Franciscan priest who helped the Church explain the Immaculate Conception. Think of a father catching his daughter before she falls: she owes her safety to him just as surely as if he had lifted her up. That simple image helps us understand the grace Mary received from Christ from the first moment of her life. Join me for a closing prayer and a quiet moment to remember someone who could use your company today. 📖 Further reading: Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God by Scott Hahn explores Mary’s place in Scripture.(Amazon affiliate link): https://link.amazon/B03ScI6e8As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. 🤍 Support The Catholic Universe on PayPal: https://paypal.me/francismossang I’m Francis Mossang.
