Gospel : John 2:13-22 Jesus was speaking about the temple of his body. Daily Readings November 9, 2014 Monday, November 10 What is a basilica? Titus 1:1-9, Luke 17:1-6 Tuesday, November 11 What’s the difference between a church, a cathedral, and a basilica? Titus 2:1-8, 10-14, Luke 17:7-10 Wednesday, November 12 The word church originally did not mean a building. It was a term used to designate the assembled believers. In the New Testament, church was used to identify those who believed in Jesus Christ and followed his way. Later the term took on its modern definition: a building in which Christian believers gather for worship, especially to celebrate the Eucharist. A cathedral is the bishop’s church and the chief church of a diocese or archdiocese. The name takes its origin from cathedra, the “bishop’s chair.” The bishops of old delivered 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 Lateran (the pope’s cathedral church, which we honor today), St. Peter’s at the Vatican, St. Paul’s Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. In addition, a number of churches in Rome and throughout the world are designated as minor 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. Titus 3:1-7, Luke 17:11-19 Thursday, November 13 Philemon 7-20, Luke 17:20-25 Friday, November 14 2 John 4-9, Luke 17:26-37 Saturday, November 15 3 John 5-8, Luke 18:1-8 Sunday, November 16 Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31, 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8, Matthew 25:14-30, or Matthew 25:14-15,19-21 Pray the rosary Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings: • As a family, talk about how words or actions can "build up" or "tear down." How can our words and action "build up" or "tear down" the church? • As a family, take time to "tour" your church after Mass. Spend time looking at the art. Take note of how the church building provides a welcoming environment. • Invite each family member to share what they like best about your parish church. • As a family, think of a service project you could do to "build up" your parish church. Possibilities might include: picking up trash outside, weeding flower beds or sidewalks, or washing windows. You might like to check with your parish to see how you can help. 3 &Z͘,ZZz'Z/>͕^sZ sundaybulle*[email protected] !
