May the beauty and the history of this Basilica remind us of our bond with the twelve Apostles. Inspired by the Apostles, may we always turn our eyes to Jesus, the beginning of eternal life and our wellspring of joy.
The Basilica of Saint John Lateran is centred around the baptismal font, which dates from the early Christian period, when similar monuments and buildings were constructed around a specific object. The baptismal font reminds us that God should be at the centre of our Christian life.
