In Dedicatione Archibasilicae Sanctissimi Salvatoris


Oremus
Deus, qui nobis per singulos annos hujus sancti templi tui consecrationis reparas diem, et sacris semper mysteriis repraesentas incolumes: exaudi preces populi tui, et praesta; ut, quisquis hoc templum beneficia petiturus ingreditur, cuncta se impetrasse laetetur.
Per Dominum...

Meeting Christ in the Liturgy offers a reflection for the Dedication of the Laterna Basilica.
