Ave Maria! Found this on Gloria.tv from our Mass in the Lateran Basilica on April 16, 2009, 800th anniversary of the approbation of the Rule of St Francis which took place at … this very basilica. Enjoy!

Highlights from the Solemn High Mass according to the Extraordinary Form, celebrated in Saint John Lateran Basilica, by the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Immaculate. All sacred music sung by the Friars and Sisters (Polyphony and Gregorian Chant) This is the first time that the traditional Mass has been celebrated in the pope’s chair since Vatican II. Quite a magnificent sight to behold! Video from Gloria TV

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Nov 09, 2023, on the significance of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica, the Pope’s Cathedral, and the Mother Church.

We celebrate the dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran, the Pope’s Cathedral, symbolic of the mother and head of all churches. It embodies the ever-flowing river of graces, reminiscent of Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 47 – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/ezekiel/47 – The water flowing from the temple, bringing life wherever it goes). Built by Emperor Constantine on land seized from the Laterani family, it became a Christian symbol after Constantine’s victory at the Milvian Bridge in 312, influenced by a divine message in a dream.

Post-legalization of Christianity in 313, the basilica, consecrated in 324, symbolized the faith’s growth. The cathedra inside signifies the Pope’s teaching authority. The Lateran complex, for a millennium the Papal residence, includes an octagonal baptistery, reflecting baptism’s importance in Christianity (John 3:5 – https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/3?5 – One must be born of water and Spirit to enter the kingdom of God).

Significant over centuries, the Lateran hosted councils like in 649, affirming Mary’s perpetual virginity, and the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215, defining ‘transubstantiate’ for the Eucharist. Despite damages and repairs, the basilica, rededicated to St. John the Baptist in 905, maintains its original dedication to Christ.

Today, the Lateran, despite the papacy’s move to the Vatican, remains the cathedral and the most significant church, symbolizing the source of grace for all churches.
