Episode Synopsis

On the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica — the oldest church in Rome and the Pope’s own cathedral — Fr. Miguel invites us to reflect on what it truly means to be a temple of God.Just as the Lateran Basilica was consecrated for worship and service to the Lord, each of us has been set apart through baptism for God’s purpose: to know Him, love Him, and serve Him in this life so that we may be happy with Him in the next.Fr. Miguel encourages us to care for our “inner church” — through confession, prayer, and the practice of virtue — keeping our souls clean, ordered, and beautiful for the One who dwells within us.
