To close, I wanted to offer you a piece of this week’s lectionary that I found particularly meaningful.
11Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 13Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made his footstool, 14because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. – Hebrews 10: 11-14
As always, Let me know if you have any questions.
Hope to see you soon!
