"I will make a new covenant and I will no longer remember their sins" 

Reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah (31, 31-34) 

Here are the days coming - oracle of the Lord - when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt: they broke my covenant. while I was their master - oracle of the Lord.

But this will be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel when those days have passed - oracle of the Lord. I will put my Law deep within themselves; I will write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. They will no longer have to teach each his companion, nor each his brother by saying: “Learn to know the Lord! For all will know me, from the smallest to the greatest - oracle of the Lord. I will forgive their faults, I will no longer remember their sins. 

The Word of the Lord.
