Living stones. The normal place for the Christian community to gather together is the building called the Church. This is the symbol of
the spiritual temple which Christ is building up, little by little, through us. We are the living stones and Christ himself is the corner
stone. The Basilica of St John Lateran is the Cathedral Church of the Pope as Bishop of Rome, and as such is regarded as the mother
of all the Churches throughout the world.
