THE TEMPLE AND WORSHIP
In all of today’s readings, the temple is
prominently men oned. Ezekiel speaks of streams
of living water flowing out from the temple,
watering the desert, bringing life to all living things,
offering fresh healing to God’s people.
Paul reminds the Corinthians that their faith
rests upon the firmest of founda ons, Christ
himself. More than that, Paul reveals that those who
follow Christ are themselves temples, temples of the
Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them,
but in them.
For the Jews of Jesus’ me, the temple had
come to be iden fied with the presence of God and
the only place where authen c worship of God took
place. Jesus had a different percep on. Jesus
iden fied himself not with the temple, but as the
temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a drama c shi
in what it means to worship God, to be in God’s
presence. No longer was a place to be the focus of
prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus Christ,
becomes the center of our worship.
WINGS AND A PRAYER, our Religious Ar cle Store,
will be open a er all Masses this weekend, Nov.
8th/9th and also Nov. 22nd/23rd.
