What did Saint John Paul II say about the magnificent Cathedral in Newark? (1995) -- This magnificent building stands in the heart of Newark as a powerful reminder of God’s steadfast love for his People and as a sign of faith in Christ, our hope of glory (Col. 1: 27). The Cathedral made of stone is the symbol of the living Church, God’s household (1Tim. 3: 15), which is open to everyone without exception, to men and women of every race and tongue, of every people and nation (Rev. 5: 9). You – the People of God in Newark and throughout New Jersey – are the living stones (1Pt. 2: 5) which make up the Body of Christ in the midst of your City and State. Wherever you are – in your families, neighborhoods, places of work or recreation – you are called to build up the Church in faith, hope and love. The Church is alive in you! God, who is the Master Builder of his holy Temple – has poured his love into your hearts through the Holy Spirit! (Cf. Rom. 5: 5) You have received the gift of new life. You have been charged with bringing the Good News to all creation (Mk. 16: 5).
