"I saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God prepared like a bride adorned for her husband." (Cf Revelation 21: 2).
The Church celebrates today the Dedication of the Basilica of St John Lateran, the Cathedral of Popes. The beautiful readings in the Liturgy teaches us of the nature and destiny of the Church. God chose to foreshadow for us
the heavenly Jerusalem
through the sign of His Church on earth and He calls His Church the Bride. We the Bride are living and chosen stones from which God prepares an eternal dwelling for Himself.
Brothers and sisters, "You are God’s building." (1 Corinthians 3: 9). And God is the wise Master Builder. We are also the Temple of God and the Holy Spirit dwells in us.
(1 Corinthians 3: 16).
Therefore beloved 1 Pt 2: 5
"Be built up like living stones,
into a spiritual house, a holy priesthood." (1 Peter 2: 5).
