We greet each other on the anniversary of the birthday, marriage, ordination and so on. I know a friend who greets a student on the anniversary of his baptism because my friend godparent at the baptism of the student. The explanation given by the friend was “I want to remind him about the date when he become the temple of the Holy Spirit”.
We are proud to say that we are the temples of the Holy Spirit through our baptism. If we are the temples of the Holy Spirit, the center place should be given always to Him and nothing that destroys the sanctity of this temple should be there in us.
Our temples are on constant construction. We collect the materials from different sources, such as from our friends, family, relatives, teachers, parish church and even from our enemies. Everybody contribute something or other for building up of this temple. What should be the most important thing in this construction is the selection of materials. Some of these materials are good where some others are poisonous. It may be contributed by our best friends or relatives. We should always analyze others contributions for building up of the temple (that is ourselves) whether it is suitable for Holy Spirit.
