"But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come to be, passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not belonging to this creation, he entered once for all into the sanctuary, not with the blood of goats and calves but with his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer's ashes can sanctify those who are defiled so that their flesh is cleansed, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God." Hebrews 9:11-14
"Passing through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands." In my estimations this is the Blessed Mother Mary. God willing came to earth to make all things right, can an imperfect creation produce the perfect one?
Seems crazy that the Jewish faithful believed that the sprinkling of blood and ashes would cleanse the spirit yet this is what they believed and faithfully practiced. Seems impossible that as a Catholic I receive the flesh and blood of Jesus in the Eucharist but I believe that it is the Body, blood, soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ. "I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world."" John 6:51
I am thankful that Christ instituted the Eucharist at the first mass prior to His passion at the last supper. The mass transforms the bread and wine into the living God not some dead works that some may think. He even ended it like we currently do today with a hymn. "Then, after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives." Mark 14:26
For myself it seems logical and makes perfect sense, for someone not raised in my faith I can see the challenge. I believe this is where faith comes in, for God is always constant and never changing. Do you think He would have Abraham make an altar that many years ago to abolish it in this day and age?
Dear Mighty One, You lead the way and I will follow, I trust in You and You alone. Thank You for always giving us mamma from Heaven. Thank You for instituting the Eucharist feast and bringing life into Your word and my spirit. May I honor You this day by being obedient to those whom You have instilled truth to through out the centuries. Prayers for those who have doubt, provide the grace and understanding that only You can give. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Seat of Justice, pray for us.
