Up until now, the Letter has been helping us to ponder how we\u2019re called to hear with obedient rather than hardened hearts God the Father\u2019s Definitive Word (Jesus) as he communicates to us in word and witness how God wishes to lead us through suffering and death to perfection and glory. At a time of persecution however in which the early Christians would be hearing\u00a0the Letter, the author calls them to soldier on: \u201cWe earnestly desire each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness\u00a0for the fulfillment of hope until the end,\u00a0so that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who,\u00a0through faith and patience, are inheriting the promises.\u201d Those who have inherited the promises through faith and patience are the martyrs, the confessors, the perseveringly faithful men, women, boys and girls of every age, and we\u2019re called to be as eager as they are for the fulfillment of all the hopes Christ himself has announced. There\u2019s a temptation to become sluggish, to get weighed down by the concerns of this world and to begin to downplay the enthusiasm we should have for what God is promising to those who persevere.<\/li>\n<li>The motivation for that hope is the commitment Jesus has made to us in the New and Eternal Covenant. The Letter to the Hebrews makes an analogy to the Covenant God made with Abraham, saying that \u201cafter patient waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.\u201d Abraham needed to wait for the fulfillment of the promise of land. He needed to wait 25 years for the promise that he would become a father. He\u2019d need to wait even longer until he would become the father of many nations. But he waited patiently. He waited eagerly. And God fulfilled his promise. To help Abraham believe, God made a Covenant with him and Abraham had faith in the Covenant. The Letter to the Hebrews alludes to the Covenant God made with Moses to help all the Jews and to the Covenant Jesus made with us to help all of us. \u201cWhen God wanted to give the heirs of his promise\u00a0an even clearer demonstration of the immutability of his purpose,\u00a0he intervened with an oath,\u00a0so that\u00a0\u2026\u00a0we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged\u00a0to hold fast to the hope that lies before us.\u201d That oath was the new and eternal Covenant in Jesus\u2019 blood. Jesus\u2019 Resurrection in a sense verified that Covenant and Jesus has entered into the Holy of Holies in Heaven praying for us to receive the fulfillment of that promise.<\/li>\n<li>In a striking and unforgettable image, the Letter says that the Covenant sealed in Jesus \u201cwe have as an anchor of the soul,\u00a0sure and firm, which reaches into the interior behind the veil,\u00a0where Jesus has entered on our behalf as forerunner,\u00a0becoming high priest forever\u00a0according to the order of Melchizedek.\u201d We know how important anchors are for boats in stormy harbors. It\u2019s what keep them from being overturned or just drifting out to sea. Jesus, the new and eternal\u00a0Covenant, is like that Anchor for us, our hope in Jesus and his promises are like that Anchor, cast beyond the clouds, cast into the Holy of Holies of Heaven, preventing not only our spiritual capsizing but keeping us tethered to the promise. Jesus\u2019 Covenantal promise is what helps us not to become sluggish but to continue with the same eagerness for the fulfillment of hope until the end.<\/li>\n<li>Jesus gives us an image of his piercing through the veil in today\u2019s Gospel. When the Pharisees were objecting that they were picking the heads of grain to get something to eat on the Sabbath, when they weren\u2019t supposed to do any work even shucking the grains, Jesus reminded them that when David and his soldiers were hungry, he went into the Holies of the House of God and ate the show bread that was destined exclusively for the priests after its period in the temple. King David grasped, and Jesus evidently approved, that some things like God\u2019s servants starving were more important that ritual symbolism. Jesus communicated that the Sabbath was made not to enslave or starve man but to serve him. Likewise, the Son of David, Jesus, is taking all of us not just into the Holies but into the Holy of Holies provided that we have the \u201chunger\u201d for it and it\u2019s there that he seeks to give us far more than show bread but the eternal wedding banquet. Jesus is\u00a0the forerunner going before us on earth, leading us across the veil.<\/li>\n<li>Someone who never became sluggish in his following of the Lord, who believed in the Covenant and never lost his Anchor with Jesus in eternity is St. Anthony of the Desert. whom we celebrate today. When he was 18, both of his parents died and he was left with all of their rich lands. He went to Church one day when the story of the Rich Young Man was being proclaimed in the Gospel. Upon hearing the words of Jesus, \u201cIf you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me,\u201d he took them literally and responded wholeheartedly. He sold all that he had, giving some money to relatives, paying for his sister to enter with a community of faithful women and gave the rest to the poor. Then he went out into the desert for the next 86 years, where he famously was tempted by the devil in all types of ways. All types of people came to him to receive spiritual guidance and he helped them with confidence and awe to approach God like he had. Doubtless he\u2019s interceding for us today for us to respond like him, like Abraham, and like so many of the saints he inspired, Anthanasius and Augustine among the two greatest.<\/li>\n<li>Today Jesus enters with us into the sanctuary where he gives us himself in response to our deepest hungers. He seeks to Anchor our hope and our life here to the altar, to keep us connected to him in the midst of the seas of life. We have that type of high priest who has made us heirs of his promise, a promise on which he now gives to us himself as the down payment. This convinces us never to become weary, because as we prayed in the Psalm, the Lord remembers his Covenant forever!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/hebrews\/6:10\">HEB 6:10-20<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Brothers and sisters:<br \/>\nGod is not unjust so as to overlook your work<br \/>\nand the love you have demonstrated for his name<br \/>\nby having served and continuing to serve the holy ones.<br \/>\nWe earnestly desire each of you to demonstrate the same eagerness<br \/>\nfor the fulfillment of hope until the end,<br \/>\nso that you may not become sluggish, but imitators of those who,<br \/>\nthrough faith and patience, are inheriting the promises.<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">When God made the promise to Abraham,<br \/>\nsince he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself,<br \/>\nand said, I will indeed bless you and multiply you.<br \/>\nAnd so, after patient waiting, Abraham obtained the promise.<br \/>\nNow, men swear by someone greater than themselves;<br \/>\nfor them an oath serves as a guarantee<br \/>\nand puts an end to all argument.<br \/>\nSo when God wanted to give the heirs of his promise<br \/>\nan even clearer demonstration of the immutability of his purpose,<br \/>\nhe intervened with an oath,<br \/>\nso that by two immutable things,<br \/>\nin which it was impossible for God to lie,<br \/>\nwe who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged<br \/>\nto hold fast to the hope that lies before us.<br \/>\nThis we have as an anchor of the soul,<br \/>\nsure and firm, which reaches into the interior behind the veil,<br \/>\nwhere Jesus has entered on our behalf as forerunner,<br \/>\nbecoming high priest forever<br \/>\naccording to the order of Melchizedek.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/psalms\/111:1\">PS 111:1-2, 4-5, 9 AND 10C<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
