On the feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, Cardinal Robert W. McElroy, the archbishop of Washington, urged a fraternal group of lay Catholics to remember that they are temples of the Holy Spirit.

“You are God’s building,” Cardinal McElroy told the Knights and Ladies Auxiliary of Peter Claver, gathered for Mass on Nov. 8 at St. Thomas More Church in Southeast Washington, D.C. “When you hear the word of God and take it into your heart,” each human person becomes “the most important building,” he said, drawing on the words of St. Paul.
