RELIGION AND ART

Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh, St. John Bosco and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water... Heb, 10:19-25

Every priest stands daily at his ministry, offering frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins, but this one offered one sacrifice for sins, and took his seat forever at the right hand of God..... Heb 10:11-18 Readings

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

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

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 Readings

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 Readings

St. Francis Now many have become Levitical priests,  since they are  prevented by death from remaining in office.  But because His priesthood permanently;  Therefore He is always able to save those who  come to God through Him,  since He always intercede for them.  Heb. 7:23-25 Readings
