It might seem odd to have a feast day for a church, but our readings today show us that marking God's presence is a time honored tradition. When Jacob dreamed of ladders and angels, he took it as a sign of God's presence and built an altar in the place he'd slept. When Zacchaeus heard Jesus call his name, he climbed down from the tree to welcome Jesus into his home and was moved then and there to give back anything he owed and more.

When we finally recognize the presence of God, we often take special note of the moment with some sign. The sign can be small, like my rock. But in other times, people have built extraordinary places of worship, painted

The Basilica of St. John Lateran, the principal cathedral of Rome (also known as the pope's cathedral) and the baptismal Church of ancient Rome, is a wonderful example of such a sign.

Our focus today is not on the building itself, but on what it represents * the union of the whole people of God gathered with the pope in witness to the presence of God.

their homilies from the bishop's chair in the cathedral.

A basilica is an early form of church building used for Christian worship- This was especially the case in the western part of the Roman Empire after the time of Constantine (fourth century).

Today, basilica is an honorary title given to certain churches by the pope. Rome has four major basilicas: St. John I-deran (the pope's cathedral church, which we honor today), St' Peter's d the Vatican, St. Paul's Outside the Walls, and St' Mary Major. In addition, a number of churches in Rome and throughout the world me designated asminor basilicas' Whether we worship in the basilica of St. Peter's in Rome or in a parish church, we seek to draw closer to the Lord in our worship and prayers.
