The Letter of St. Paul
to the
Hebrews
Chapter
8
¹ Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, ²a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent that the Lord, and not any mortal, has set up.
(The Letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews Chapter 8 verse 1 to 2)
Oh God my Father there is none like You even though, we have many 'Tents' or Churches none can be compared to the one big tent that is Your Sacred Body, the Holy Catholic Church of which I am proud to be a member Amen.
³ For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.
(The Letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews Chapter 8 verse 3)
Oh God my Father the priest offers the living sacrifice of the Eucharist in order to atone for his own sins and those of the community of sinners, therefore like other sinners he also has his share of sins to offer Amen for we are all human and subject to sin.
⁴ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.
(The Letter of St. Paul to the Hebrews Chapter 8 verse 4)
Oh God my Father when You became human for our redemption You did not come as a priest but as the incarnate Son of God and God Himself. You did not need to offer sacrifices for the redemption of sin, however, You still obeyed the rules of the times since You were a child. You always respected the law, however out of that same love and respect You highlighted those areas that needed to be upgraded or changed completely by means of the message of the Good News Amen.
