The water down under the right side of the temple, from South of the altar. He took me out of the northern door and I turned it out, until the outer gate facing east, and saw that the water flowed from the right side.
He said: "These waters flow towards the east, down in Arabia and enter the sea into the sea, he healed the waters. Every living thing that moves wherever the river comes, he will live: the fish will be abundant, because where the waters come, sanitation, and where all the rivers shall come shall live. Along the creek on a shore and on the other, will grow all kinds of fruit trees, whose leaves will not wither: their fruit will not cease, and any vest months, because their waters flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit will serve as food and leaves as medicine. "

GOSPEL (Jn 2, 13-22) He spoke of the temple of his body. 
From the Gospel according to John
was approaching the Jewish Passover, Jesus went to Jerusalem. He found
in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, sitting there, the money changers.
Then he made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen, threw down the money changers and overturned desks, and those who sold doves he said, "Bring out of here and do not do these things of my Father's house a market. "
His disciples remembered that it was written: "Zeal for your house will consume me."
Then the Jews answered and said unto him, What sign can you show us for doing this? ". Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it." So the Jews said to him: "This temple has been under construction for forty years and you will raise it in three days? ". But he spoke of the temple of his body.
When he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus
Word of the Lord
Comment by Father Giulio Maria Scozzaro
time required by God to encourage the prayer of the Jews, was transformed into a marketplace, with a noise comparable to the vendors of the markets of competitors who shout louder to be heard. They had come to this apostasy because it did not pray more.
The same applies to Christians today, engaged in everything except in the devout and humble prayer. Do not have time for Jesus means very bad things, we say we do not bode well. Because Jesus does not force us to pray, invites us to goodness full communion, to be together in the joys and sorrows.
The Temple of the Jews has remained the place where he was the Ark of the Covenant, but God has broken the covenant with the Jewish people to establish with the new people, Christians. Jesus is born with the Catholic Church after the Resurrection at Pentecost with the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and then on the Apostles. The Church of Jesus
substantially is something else than the Temple of the Jews, if only for his sacramental presence, in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist. Then, why is the new covenant between God and his people again: Christianity.
transcribe a few lines explaining the liturgical Feast of today.
Today we celebrate the memory of the Basilica, which for centuries has been the emblem of the pontifical liturgy, which here has had its early development and has informed the style of celebration of all the Western Churches. The Basilica of the Holy Saviour and St. John Lateran in Rome is the model of each Church. It is the "Mother Church of all churches of the and of the World. " The Lateran Basilica was founded by Pope Melchiade (311-314) in the property donated for this purpose by Constantine next to the Lateran Palace, imperial residence until then and then the papal residence. In many churches dedicated to the Savior had chosen this date (dating from the tenth to twelfth century) in memory of a miracle took place in Beirut, before the Council of Nicea in 787, so the blood would come out from an image of the Savior suffered a Jew. The Lateran Palace, owned by the imperial family, became the fourth century the Pope's official residence adjacent to the Basilica, dedicated to the Divine Saviour, was the first cathedral in the world, especially the baptisms were celebrated at the Easter Vigil.
Jesus Christ established the New Church. Our Church is the House of God, the quintessential place of worship the God-Man, the building where people pray to God and higher hymns, songs and praises. The Church is the place of worship to God, a house must have a unique sanctity, and yet ...
Those who have opened the doors of the Church of Satan ungodliness and ruthless action, are those who have lost faith in Jesus and remain with the show of devotion vestments. But all will come to light, and lighten the darkness and evil villains are unmasked.
The Chronicles tell us of bishops and priests who commit scandals of various kinds, many others remain anonymous just thinking about the things of God and a lot of things carnal, so consequently lose their love and enthusiasm for Jesus, Faith and spirituality. They become guides who lead the faithful towards damnation, teaching heresies and modern doctrines.
are now many who are tired of the Gospel, then, the very presence of Jesus, and is easy to see many parishes neglected, the Tabernacle without flowers and without light, table cloths and vestments worn and dirty. With modern songs and dances during the mass. This already shows that they no longer believe in the divinity of Jesus and his presence in the Eucharist. What can they teach to the faithful?
I want to write a revelation of Jesus to a French mystic of a few decades ago: "I chose my Bishops, my priests, religious men and women to make me my glory, but I do not go joy. They are there, constantly begging for a little 'more than human glory and forget more and more of me. Some monasteries are houses where evil reigns as absolute leader. Some souls of priests would have done better to leave the priesthood, rather than follow Satan ".
I bless and pray for you all. Pray for me every day in the Mass and the rosary.
