The inner and outer Temple


I was glad when they said to me,
"Let's go to the Lord's house!"
Pease be within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.


Psalms 122:1+7


And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.'


Revelation of John 21:3-4


And I saw no temple in the city:
for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it,
and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved
shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth
do bring their glory and honour into it.

Revelation of John 21:22-24


To whom coming, as unto a living stone,
disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God,
and precious, Ye also, as lively stones,
are built up a spiritual house.


1st Letter of Peter 2:4


Allmighty God,
the church of earth Thou has given to us
as an image of the heavenly Jerusalem.
Make us as temples of Thy Grace
and let us get to that place
where Thy Glory is enthroned.


Prayer from the Benedictine Cloister 'Maria Laach' , Germany
