Jesus’ tabernacle is not something made with hands, but is the eternal tabernacle of heaven. Here Jesus offers himself to the Father, a once and for all offering.

When we pray we ask for help–because we need it. May today’s prayer give you the strength to keep seeking.

The new covenant expressed in Christ renders the old covenant obsolete, and any desire to hang on to the old is misplaced.

The word change normally refers to new beginnings. But transformation, the mystery we’re examining, more often happens not when something new begins, but when something old falls apart.

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus encounters some local fisherman and tells them that, if they follow him, they will become “fishers of men.”

Jesus is the one, true, priest forever and he intercedes for us. He has no need to make sacrifices to make up for his own sinfulness. It is good to offer him our thanks.

May this prayer soothe our hearts and quiet our minds on this day.

The world is divided, and kindness is in short supply. May this prayer be a reminder that Christ’s message is timeless and crucial—especially today.

Like Melchizedek, Jesus is king of peace–without conventional human ancestry, superior to Abraham and his children, called by God to a priesthood that lasts forever.

God’s promise and oath to Abraham are still in force. They offer us an anchor of hope that reaches all the way to heaven.
