Article 1 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2580
The Temple of Jerusalem, the house of prayer that David wanted to build, will
be the work of his son, Solomon. the prayer at the dedication of the Temple
relies on God’s promise and covenant, on the active presence of his name among
his People, recalling his mighty deeds at the Exodus.²⁹ The king lifts
his hands toward heaven and begs the Lord, on his own behalf, on behalf of the
entire people, and of the generations yet to come, for the forgiveness of their
sins and for their daily needs, so that the nations may know that He is the
only God and that the heart of his people may belong wholly and entirely to
him.
