On this weeks podcast we introduce our listeners to the The Way - which is a new digital multimedia platform set up by the Irish Bishops' Conference dedicated to sharing the Good News and the witness of the Catholic Church in Ireland. In part two, we share an interview from the The Way between John Quinn of Alpha Ireland and Wendy Grace asking the question "How can I find God" in Ireland today. We have our regular run through the up coming liturgical odds and ends, share about the feast day this Sunday which is the Dedication of the Basilica of St John in the Lateran and share the Sunday gospel which is for the feast day. The WayJohn has a brief chat with Fr Bill Kemmy to introduce The Way, the new online digital multimedia platform dedicated to sharing the Good News.  In the very early Church, the first believers were known as followers of ‘the Way' (e.g. Acts 9:2). In answer to the question ‘how can we know the way?' (John 14:5) Jesus declared that ‘I am the Way, the Truth and Life.' The platform is intended to help people to know the Way – to discover the faith, live the faith and pass on the faith. It is for both seekers and followers.  Here on C&SI we are always trying to find new resources and guides for our listeners on their faith journey and here on the podcast we will also be tapping into the resources available from The Way and sharing them with our listeners as well as our own output and regular interviews as well. How can I find God?We have had a couple of programmes and podcast previously here in C&SI about the Alpha programme and this week we are sharing an interview with John Quinn from Alpha Ireland from "A Question of Faith" podcast series on on the Way. In discussion with Wendy Grace, John Quinn discusses how people can connect with faith and the importance of contact with fellow seekers.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Delivered by Jovinson Tansil, Sri Muliyani, Lukitananda Putra, and Stella Wijaya from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Ezekiel 47: 1-2.8-9.12; Rs psalm 46: 2-3.5-6.8-9; 1 Corinthians 3: 9b-11.16-17; John 2: 13-22.WE CLEAN THE DIRTYCHURCH Our meditation today isentitled: We Clean the Dirty Church. Today, the whole Church celebrates thefeast of the dedication of the Lateran Basilica of Rome. This basilica is oneof the four largest churches in Rome, Italy. Until now the basilica was thecathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV. Just like otherimportant basilicas, the Lateran basilica looks so majestic and alwayswell-maintained and organized. One aspect of carethat is so particular should be on cleanliness. Even though this is an oldbuilding, cleanliness is so well observed. The visitors who always come everyday will feel comfortable and can enjoy the values ​​of Christian sacredness init. Actually not only aspects of cleanliness, but also orderliness, politenessand calmness. Visitors who are not modestly dressed will be put on a scarf, thenoisy will be reprimanded, those who use cell phones will be asked to turn off,and those who bring food will be asked to leave food outside the basilica. Our churches that aredirty can be seen from various aspects of perspective. Dirts like paper,plastic, dust, etc. can be found there, outside and inside. People who comethere with different type of clothes and the use of supporting instruments, canoften disturb the worship that is going on. Behaviors such as sharing stories,talking, cellular ringing, joking, fighting and violence can also happen there.Then the hearts, minds and souls of the believers can be also in the state ofdirty, because of sins that have not been forgiven, the type of spiritualimpurities that exsist in the believers. The house of God iscertainly not beautiful, comfortable, dignified, and holy if all types of dirtare always brought into it. Jesus sees all kinds of dirt there, inside andoutside the temple. He is burned by the demand to clean the house of worshipfrom all kinds of dirts, to be removed away, and He does His way with anger andpunishment. We, as His followers, are certainly burnt by the same demands whenwe know that our houses of worship are full with dirts as ellaborated above. Jesus also teaches usthat the house of worship is actually He himself. Likewise theologically, wewant to interpret the house of worship as ourselves, as today's second readingstates. Faced with all forms of desacralization whether by words or deeds, causingour bodies not worthy for God, for others or community and ourselves, we mustbe firm and burnt by the the demand to overcome those negative threats. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, strengthen our faith, so that we can continue to preserve our ownpurity as the holy temple where You dwell. Hail Mary, full of grace ... In thename of the Father ...

Send us a textThis Sunday we celebrate the dedication of the Basilica of Saint John Lateran, one of the most important Churches for us Catholics. Ultimately, this celebration is a celebration of the people of God- the Church,  the body of Christ. St Paul reminds us that this Church has Christ as foundation. We are part of the body- the Church. St Paul reminds us again that like the Church, we too are temples of God's, vessels of God's Spirit.Like His bride the Church, Christ loves us so much and He'll do anything to protect us. That is why in today's gospel we see him chasing money-changers, telling them, “Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade.'Friends, our mission which is similar to that of the Church is beautifully illustrated in the image by Ezekiel in the 1st resding: to be a source of life-giving water, nourishment, and healing for the world around us.Today's feast invites us to be aware of ourselves as temples of the Holy Spirit and to consider how well we are taking our mission to bring Christ to others, be a source of nourishment and healing for others Please join me to pray for Tommy who passed away years ago. Support the show

Yehezkiel 47: 1-2.8-9.12; Mazmur tg 46: 2-3.5-6.8-9; 1 Korintus 3: 9b-11.16-17; Yohanes 2: 13-22.KITA BERSIHKANGEREJA YANG KOTOR Renungan kita pada hari ini bertema: Tak Nyaman KalauGereja Kotor. Pada hari ini, seluruh Gereja memperingati pemberkatan GerejaBasilik Lateran Roma. Basilika ini termasuk satu dari empat gereja terbesar dikota Roma, Italia. Sampai saat ini basilika itu merupakan katedralnya UskupRoma, yaitu Paus Leo ke-14. Sama seperti basilika-basilika penting lainnya,basilik Lateran tampak begitu megah dan selalu terawat dengan baik dan teratur. Salah satu aspek perawatan yang sangat diperhatikan ialahkebersihan. Meskipun ini adalah bangunan tua, kebersihannya tetap terjaga. Parapengunjung yang selalu berdatangan tiap hari akan merasa nyaman dan dapatmenikmati nilai-nilai kesakralan kristiani di dalamnya. Sebenarnya tidak hanyaaspek kebersihan, tetapi juga ketertiban, kesopanan dan ketenangan. Turis yangtidak sopan berpakaian akan dipakaikan syal, yang ribut akan ditegur, yangmemakai ponsel akan diminta untuk dimatikan, dan yang membawa makanan akandiminta untuk meninggalkan makanan di luar basilika. Rumah ibadat kita dipandang kotor dari berbagai aspekpenilaian. Kotoran itu seperti kertas, plastik, debu dan lain sebagainya bisasaja ditemukan di sana. Penampilan pakaian dan pemakaian instrumen pendukungyang tidak pas dalam ibadah sering terjadi. Tingkah laku seperti bercerita,dering seluler, bercanda, bertengkar dan tindak kekerasan terjadi juga.Kemudian hati, pikiran dan jiwa para partisipan ibadat yang dianggap kotorkarena dosa-dosa yang belum diampuni, merupakan jenis kotoran spiritual yangtidak asing bagi orang-orang beriman. Rumah Tuhan tentu tidak dapat dikatakan indah, nyaman danbermartabat suci kalau semua jenis kotoran ini selalu tertampung di sana. Yesusmelihat semua kotoran itu ada di sana, dalam dan luar bait suci. Ia terbakaroleh tuntutan untuk mensterilkan rumah ibadah dari segala macam kotoran untukdisingkirkan sehingga keluarlah amarah-Nya. Kita sebagai pengikut-Nya jugatentu ikut terbakar oleh tuntutan yang sama ketika tahu kalau rumah-rumahibadah kita penuh dengan kotoran seperti yang disebutkan itu. Yesus bermaksud juga mengartikan rumah ibadah itu sebagaidiri-Nya sendiri. Demikian juga secara teologis, kita ingin mengartikan rumahibadah itu adalah diri kita sendiri seperti dikatakan dalam bacaan kedua hariini. Berhadapan dengan segala bentuk desakralisasi entah dengan kata-kata entahdengan perbuatan, sehingga tubuh kita menjadi tidak layak bagi Tuhan, bagisesama atau komunitas dan bagi diri sendiri, kita mesti bersikap tegas danterbakar tuntutan untuk menyingkirkan tendensi atau ancaman-ancaman itu. Marilah kita berdoa. Dalam nama Bapa... Ya Tuhan,tambahkanlah semangat iman kami sehingga kami dapat menjaga dengan tanggungjawab kemurnian diri kami sendiri sebagai bait suci, tempat Engkau berdiam.Salam Maria, penuh rahmat ... Dalam nama Bapa ...

⛪ Blood and Papal Gold – Part One Presented by the Evio Creative Podcast Network Before the Vatican was marble and gold… before the Church had armies and crowns… there was Rome — a ruin with a heartbeat. In this first half of The Keys of Blood: The Assassination of Pope John VIII, we enter the smoke and silence of the ninth century — a time when popes ruled by letter instead of sword, when faith was a fragile currency, and when the empire that once conquered the world had been reduced to a city clinging to its own memory. ⚜️ Episode I: The Broken Empire Europe is in fragments. Charlemagne's heirs bicker over borders while Viking and Saracen raiders carve the continent apart. Into this chaos steps Pope John VIII, a scholar forced into kingship. His Rome is a relic surrounded by wolves, and his only weapon is diplomacy — or what's left of it. But when he dares to pay tribute to Saracen pirates to spare the city, his mercy is mistaken for weakness, and whispers of betrayal begin to echo through the marble halls of the Lateran. ⚓ Episode II: The Pope and the Pirates As the raiders tighten their grip, John is forced to choose between faith and survival. His decision to ransom Rome with gold saves lives but shatters his reputation. The Frankish kings mock him; the clergy call him coward; the nobles begin to conspire. When he crowns Charles the Bald as Holy Roman Emperor, hoping for salvation, the emperor dies within months — leaving the papacy more isolated than ever. Rome's enemies circle closer, and John's greatest fear becomes clear: the Church will not fall to pagans, but to its own believers.

Justin Hibbard continues our series on the 21 Ecumenical Council with the First Lateran Council - the first general council to occur in the West and the first general council with the Pope as presider (and even in attendance). In this episode you'll learn about the investiture controversy and the tension between the government and the church that led to a further separation of church and state.

In this second dispatch from the Jubilee Pilgrimage, led by Father Dave, Brett, Lino Rulli, and Tyler Veghte of “The Catholic Guy Show,” we hear more about their experiences in Rome. They traveled through the holy doors of all four papal basilicas in Rome and Vatican City: Saint Peter, Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Saint John Lateran, and Saint Mary Major.

Full Text of ReadingsPalm Sunday of the Lord's Passion Lectionary: 37 and 38The Saint of the day is Saint Martin ISaint Martin I's Story When Martin I became pope in 649, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine empire and the patriarch of Constantinople was the most influential Church leader in the eastern Christian world. The struggles that existed within the Church at that time were magnified by the close cooperation of emperor and patriarch. A teaching, strongly supported in the East, held that Christ had no human will. Twice, emperors had officially favored this position: Heraclius by publishing a formula of faith, and Constans II by silencing the issue of one or two wills in Christ. Shortly after assuming the office of the papacy—which he did without first being confirmed by the emperor—Martin held a council at the Lateran in which the imperial documents were censured, and in which the patriarch of Constantinople and two of his predecessors were condemned. In response, Constans II first tried to turn bishops and people against the pope. Failing in this and in an attempt to kill the pope, the emperor sent troops to Rome to seize Martin and to bring him back to Constantinople. Already in poor health, Martin offered no resistance, returned with Calliopas, the exarch of Constantinople, and was then submitted to various imprisonments, tortures, and hardships. Although condemned to death and with some of the imposed torture already carried out, Martin was saved from execution by the pleas of a repentant Paul, patriarch of Constantinople, who was himself gravely ill. Tortures and cruel treatment having taken their toll, Martin died shortly thereafter. He is the last of the early popes to be venerated as a martyr. Reflection The real significance of the word martyr comes not from the dying but from the witnessing, which the word means in its derivation. People who are willing to give up everything, their most precious possessions, their very lives, put a supreme value on the cause or belief for which they sacrifice. Martyrdom, dying for the faith, is an incidental extreme to which some have had to go to manifest their belief in Christ. A living faith, a life that exemplifies Christ's teaching throughout, and that in spite of difficulties, is required of all Christians. Martin refused to cut corners as a way of easing his lot, to make some accommodations with the civil rulers. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsFeast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome Lectionary: 671The Saint of the day is Dedication of Saint John Lateran BasilicaStory of the Dedication of St. John Lateran Most Catholics think of St. Peter's as the pope's main church, but they are wrong. St. John Lateran is the pope's church, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome where the Bishop of Rome presides. The first basilica on the site was built in the fourth century when Constantine donated land he had received from the wealthy Lateran family. That structure and its successors suffered fire, earthquake, and the ravages of war, but the Lateran remained the church where popes were consecrated. In the 14th century when the papacy returned to Rome from Avignon, the church and the adjoining palace were found to be in ruins. Pope Innocent X commissioned the present structure in 1646. One of Rome's most imposing churches, the Lateran's towering facade is crowned with 15 colossal statues of Christ, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, and 12 doctors of the Church. Beneath its high altar rest the remains of the small wooden table on which tradition holds Saint Peter himself celebrated Mass. Reflection Unlike the commemorations of other Roman churches, this anniversary is a feast. The dedication of a church is a feast for all its parishioners. In a sense, St. John Lateran is the parish church of all Catholics, because it is the pope's cathedral. This church is the spiritual home of the people who are the Church. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

There is a fascinating history surrounding today's Feast of the Dedication of the St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. The magnificent church is just down the street from our Redemptorist headquarters and our own beautiful church of San Alfonso. The Basilica of St. John Lateran was built on land donated to Emperor Constantine by the Lateran family and given to the Church in the fourth century. It was dedicated to the Christ the Savior in honor of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist. It was consecrated by Pope Sylvester I on November 9, 324 and is still considered the Pope's cathedral today. The structure has survived the ravages of war, earthquake, fire, and schism. When the papacy returned to Rome from Avignon, France in 1378, the church and the adjoining palace were in ruins. Pope Innocent X commissioned the work that has made St. John Lateran one of the most imposing churches in Rome. The front of the church has 15 towering statues of Christ, John the Baptist, John the Evangelist, and 12 doctors of the Church. Inside the basilica, there is a simple wooden table in the sanctuary where tradition holds that St. Peter himself celebrated Mass. The church stands as a monument to God and all the work done for God through the Church. This is also a special day for the Redemptorists. On Saturday, November 9, 1732, inspired by God and guided by the Holy Spirit, our founder, St. Alphonsus Liguori and his companions, gathered around a simple altar in the nun's convent in Scala, Italy and dedicated their lives to follow Jesus the Redeemer by preaching the Gospel to the poor and most abandoned. We Redemptorists celebrate this day as the founding of our congregation and try to continue this mission today. It was not an easy decision for Alphonsus. He had to leave everything behind. He was well known and respected in Naples; a lawyer of civil and canon law, a sought after preacher, and close to his parents and six siblings. Yet, the goat herders living high above the city of Scala on the Amalfi coast of Italy had stolen his heard. They were even poorer than the street children he evangelized in Naples. He placed his sword before a statue of Our Lady of Ransom and left the city on the back of a donkey. He met his companions in Scala. They did not stay in the Cathedral of Scala, but in a convent, praying intensely for God's will to be done. The three days prior to November 9th, they had a Eucharistic Triduum with the sisters in their small monastery church. They were given the grace by God of seeing in the Eucharistic Host a figure of Christ holding his cross. They took this as a sign of heavenly approval and, with the authority of Bishop Falcoia who was with them, they took the name of the Congregation of the Most Holy Savior, a name that linked them to the dedication of the Pope's Cathedral in Rome. The name was soon changed by Rome to the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer.  Today, we give thanks to God for our vocations. We renew our commitment to continue this mission as prophetic witnesses to the Redeemer, who continues to call men and women to share in the charism of the Redemptorist family. May our Mother of Perpetual Help, St. Alphonsus, St. Gerard Majella, St. Clement Hofbauer, St. John Neumann, and all Redemptorist saints and blesseds pray for us. May we continue the work they began with love and perseverance. Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.

This blogcast explores “The Mother and Head” written by Victor David and read by John Cardillo.In this blog post, Patrick reflects on his high school Mass experiences and the communion among mankind and God himself. The full name of this particular church is the Archbasilica of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist at the Lateran. What a mouthful! The Lateran Basilica is one of the “major or papal basilicas,” the four highest-ranking churches in Roman Catholicism, due to their historical significance. The other three are St. Peter's in the Vatican, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major. St. John Lateran (as it is commonly known) is the oldest of the four, the oldest public church in Rome, and houses the cathedra (seat) of the pope in his capacity as the Bishop of Rome. Because it houses the cathedra, the basilica is the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. It is also the sole holder of the title “archbasilica,” demonstrating its ranking above every other church in the world.An inscription on the façade of the building says, “Sacrosancta Lateranensis ecclesia omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput.” Translated, it means, “The Most Holy Lateran Church, mother and head of all the churches in the city and the world.” Today's feast day celebrates not only the physical structure itself, but also what it symbolizes. As the seat of the Holy Father, it reminds our hearts and minds of the fidelity we show to the successor of St. Peter, an expression of unity that binds together all the faithful. Moreover, the physical edifice of the church calls to mind what the Catechism states, “The Church is the Body of Christ” (CCC 805). While the Lateran Basilica itself is a magnificent building, housing priceless works of art, in the end it is just a hollow shell. The faithful who enter it, pray in it, and celebrate the Eucharist inside it are what truly bring it to life and bring its purpose to fulfillment.On this feast day, let us pray. Let us pray for the Holy Father, that he may continue to lead the faithful entrusted to his care. And let us pray for the Church, that her members may always work in unity to bring about Christ's kingdom on earth. Author:Victor David is a Collaborator with the Catholic Apostolate Center and is a staff member at The Catholic University of America, his alma mater, in Washington, D.C.

Full Text of ReadingsSaturday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 272The Saint of the day is Saint Martin ISaint Martin I's Story When Martin I became pope in 649, Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine empire and the patriarch of Constantinople was the most influential Church leader in the eastern Christian world. The struggles that existed within the Church at that time were magnified by the close cooperation of emperor and patriarch. A teaching, strongly supported in the East, held that Christ had no human will. Twice, emperors had officially favored this position: Heraclius by publishing a formula of faith, and Constans II by silencing the issue of one or two wills in Christ. Shortly after assuming the office of the papacy—which he did without first being confirmed by the emperor—Martin held a council at the Lateran in which the imperial documents were censured, and in which the patriarch of Constantinople and two of his predecessors were condemned. In response, Constans II first tried to turn bishops and people against the pope. Failing in this and in an attempt to kill the pope, the emperor sent troops to Rome to seize Martin and to bring him back to Constantinople. Already in poor health, Martin offered no resistance, returned with Calliopas, the exarch of Constantinople, and was then submitted to various imprisonments, tortures, and hardships. Although condemned to death and with some of the imposed torture already carried out, Martin was saved from execution by the pleas of a repentant Paul, patriarch of Constantinople, who was himself gravely ill. Tortures and cruel treatment having taken their toll, Martin died shortly thereafter. He is the last of the early popes to be venerated as a martyr. Reflection The real significance of the word martyr comes not from the dying but from the witnessing, which the word means in its derivation. People who are willing to give up everything, their most precious possessions, their very lives, put a supreme value on the cause or belief for which they sacrifice. Martyrdom, dying for the faith, is an incidental extreme to which some have had to go to manifest their belief in Christ. A living faith, a life that exemplifies Christ's teaching throughout, and that in spite of difficulties, is required of all Christians. Martin refused to cut corners as a way of easing his lot, to make some accommodations with the civil rulers. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media
