Readings |
| A Reading from the Letter to the Hebrews.. Since in Jesus, the Son of God, we have a supreme high priest who has gone through to the highest heaven, we must never let go of the faith that we have professed. During his life on earth, he offered up prayer and entreaty, aloud and in silent tears, to the one who had the power to save him out of death, and he submitted so humbly that his prayer was heard. Although he was a Son, he learned to obey through suffering; but having been made perfect, he became for all who obey him the source of eternal life. This is the Word of the Lord. |
