5/7/23 Spiritual Houses

Homily from the Fifth Sunday of Easter

The Temple is the place of sacrifice.

Peter notes that we are built into a spiritual house. We know what kind of building it is based on the purpose of the building. And the purpose of the Temple is to be the Presence of God and the place of worship and sacrifice. If we are temples of the Holy Spirit, then this is true for us as well.
