FIRST READING 

"He forever led to their perfection those whom he sanctifies" 

the letter to the Hebrews (10, 11-18) 

In the Old Covenant, every priest, every day, stood in the holy place for liturgical service, and he offered over and over again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Jesus Christ, on the contrary, after offering one single sacrifice for sins, sat forever at the right hand of God. He is now waiting for his enemies to be put under his feet. By his one dedication he has brought to perfection those whom he sanctifies forever. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us in Scripture, for after having said: This will be the Covenant that I will establish with them when those days have passed, the Lord said: I will give my laws, I will write them on their hearts and in their minds, and I will no longer remember their sins or their faults. However, when forgiveness is granted, the sin offering is no longer offered. 

The Word of the Lord
