CONSCIOUSNESS OF SIN

Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the true form of these realities, it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered year after year, make perfect those who approach. Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered, since the worshipers cleansed once for all would not longer have any consciousness of sin?.... Heb. 10:1-10

ETERNAL INHERITANCE

Saint Thomas

For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant,
so that those who are called may receive the promised
eternal inheritance, because a death has occurred that
redeems them from the transgressions under the  first
covenant.... Heb 9, 15, 24-28

TIMOTHY AND TITUS

God our Father, you gave your saints Timothy and Titus
 the courage and wisdom of apostles:
 may their prayers help us live holy lives

Saints Timothy and Titus

 and lead us to heaven, our true home. 
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
 your Son, who lives and reigns with
 you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
 for ever and ever. Prayer of the Church

THE GOOD NEWS

SAINT PAUL

I have appeared for the purpose, to appoint you as a servant and
witness of what you have seen of me and what you will be shown. 
I shall deliver you from this people and from the Gentiles to whom
I send you, to open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light
and from the power of Satan to God so that  they may obtain forgiveness
of sins and an inheritance among those who have been consecrated
 by faith in me. Acts 26:16b-18

THE PRIESTHOOD

For this Melchizedek: King of Salem, priest of the Most High God

who met Abraham and blessed him as he returned from defeating
the kings, and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything; first, his
name mean "king of righteousness", then also "king of Salem",
meaning "king of peace", without father, mother, or genealogy,
having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling
the Son of God. Heb. 7:1-3

LORD OF THE SABBATH

For God is not unjust: He will not forget your work

and the love you showed for His name when you
served the saints; and you continue to serve them.
Now we want each of you to demonstrate the same
diligence for the final realization of your hope,
so that you won't become lazy, but imitators of those
who inherit the promises through faith and perseverance.
Heb, 6:10-20
