Last week we pondered Jesus as the definitive Word of the Father in whom the Father has communicated everything. We looked at how Jesus assuming our nature came to lead us, by word and witness, through suffering and death to perfection and the glory of God\u2019s children. We can say in a sense that last week we focused on Jesus as a \u201cprophet,\u201d as the bearer of God\u2019s message, and how we\u2019re supposed to respond to that message. This week the Letter to the Hebrews will help us to focus on Jesus as \u201cpriest\u201d and how we are supposed to profit from his priesthood and enter into it.<\/li>\n<li>Today the Letter to the Hebrews gives us three qualities of the High Priest in the Old Covenant and shows how they all apply to Jesus\u2019 priesthood. It does this by way of introduction because the Letter will go on to distinguished Jesus\u2019 priesthood \u201cof the order of Melchizedek\u201d from the High Priests of the Aaronic Old Testament priesthood. The first quality is \u201cevery priest is taken\u00a0from among men\u00a0and made their representative before God,\u00a0to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.\u201d \u00a0The priest is chosen from among men \u2014 we\u2019ll describe by whom he is chosen a little later \u2014 to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins before God. In the Old Covenant, the sacrifice would be things, from bread offerings, to incense, to lambs, bulls, heifers, pigeons and other animals. Jesus would offer himself as the gift and sacrifice. The second criterion is, \u201cHe is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring,\u00a0for he himself is beset by weakness\u00a0and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself\u00a0as well as for the people.\u201d The Old Testament priest was\u00a0one who grasped, he, too, was\u00a0a sinner and so he understood\u00a0the need for these sin offerings. For Christ, he is not a sinner, but, as we\u2019ve seen up until now in this Letter, he understands the temptation to sin, having been tempted every way we are without sin. So he recognizes the need for the offering for sin. The third aspect is, \u201cNo one takes this honor upon himself\u00a0but only when called by God,\u00a0just as Aaron was.\u201d The priest is not chosen by the people from among the people but chosen by God from among the people. The priesthood is a vocation. We see this in Christ when the Letter states, \u201cIt was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest,\u00a0but rather the one who said to him: \u2018You are my Son:\u00a0this day I have begotten you\u2019;\u00a0just as he says in another place, \u2018You are a priest forever\u00a0according to the order of Melchizedek.'\u201d Jesus\u2019 whole life was in response to the calling contained within his sonship, a sonship with no earthly Father just like Melchizedek\u2019s earthly father was not known, as we\u2019ll see later in the week. The sacrifice Jesus would make for his people would be \u201cprayers and supplications with loud cries and tears.\u201d And he is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring because \u201che learned obedience from what he suffered,\u201d he learned through suffering how in a sense to teach others how to obey God through suffering. The Letter concludes this section saying, \u201cWhen he was made perfect,\u00a0he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.\u201d Perfection means fit for the purpose. He was made perfect when as a priest he offered himself satisfactorily as the victim. We learn that he became the \u201csource of eternal salvation\u201d not for everyone but \u201cfor all who obey him.\u201d He died for everyone, but it\u2019s only those who obey him who will receive this gift of salvation from salvation\u2019s author.<\/li>\n<li>The whole point of this section in the Letter to the Hebrews is to communicate that Jesus\u2019 work is to transform us into a sacrifice with him, to make us a gift with him, so that we may echo in our life what he says to us in his, that this is my body, my blood, my sweat, my tears, my life given out of love for others. I use the expression \u201ctransform\u201d consciously, because for most of us, we don\u2019t live out our life of faith as a sacrifice for God and others. We don\u2019t wake up looking at the day as an opportunity for another Holocaust. Many of us prefer just to be left alone, to do our own thing, and to the extent that we serve others, we often do so out of \u201cduty\u201d rather than out of \u201cnature.\u201d Christianity is about this transformation. It\u2019s to grasp that in Christ\u2019s priesthood we find our own baptismal priesthood, offering ourselves together with Christ the High Priest as victims, as loving oblations, for God and for others. As St. Paul wrote in his Second Letter to the Corinthians, Christ \u201cindeed died for all, so that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised\u201d (2 Cor 5:15). St. John penned, \u201cThe way we came to know love was that he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers\u201d (1 John 3:16). That\u2019s the metamorphosis Christ wants to bring about in us through his work. This is be the path of eternal salvation if we obey Christ, if we listen to what he\u2019s communicating and put his word into practice, if we hear and follow him.<\/li>\n<li>To do so, we need to be open to transformation and that\u2019s what the second half of today\u2019s Gospel is about. Jesus gave an allusion to the sacrifice of his High Priesthood when he said, \u201cWhen the Bridegroom is taken away,\u201d meaning when he is \u201cripped from\u201d their presence. That\u2019s when they will fast, because the way the Bridegroom is ripped away is through our sins and the sins of others. Jesus is with us always until the end of time, but we are not always with him, and that\u2019s why we fast, to stoke our\u00a0hunger for him, for entering into communion with him, for living a spousal covenant with Him the Bridegroom in one flesh, by uniting ourselves to his priestly work and making of our whole life a loving sacrifice. We need to fast for this. We need to long for this. We need to recognize that we need this transformation.<\/li>\n<li>Jesus gives us two homespun images of openness to this divine metamorphosis in us, the patch and the wine and wineskins. \u201cNo one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak.\u00a0If he does, its fullness pulls away,\u00a0the new from the old, and the tear gets worse.\u00a0Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.\u00a0Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins,\u00a0and both the wine and the skins are ruined.\u00a0Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.\u201d We know the truth of these images. If we put unshrunken cloth on an old pain of jeans, when the patch shrinks upon washing it will rip even more what it was trying to patch because the path is stronger than the old clothes. We can\u2019t continue wearing our old clothes, in others, when Jesus wants to give us something new. We need the ever new robes of baptism. Second, new wine can\u2019t be\u00a0poured into old wineskins because the fermentation in the new wine would be too much for the taut old wineskins to handle and both wine and wineskins would be lost. What\u2019s needed are new wineskins to receive Jesus\u2019 new wine. The same old, same old won\u2019t work. We need openness, docility. In response to the aphorism, \u201cYou can\u2019t teach old dogs new tricks,\u201d Jesus is saying, \u201cOld canines need always to learn new tricks.\u201d And Jesus wants to train us to offer our lives as an oblation just like he does: that\u2019s the new wine and we need to be able to expand with it.<\/li>\n<li>We are now in the second day of the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity. We\u2019re conscious of the fact that Jesus, during the Last Supper, prayed ardently that all of us would be one just like He and the Father are one. We\u2019re obviously not one. There are the major divisions between Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants, but even within those major divisions, there are so many others, including within parishes, even within the domestic Church of the family. For the unity for which Jesus prayed to come about, it\u2019s going to require Catholics, Orthodox and Protestants to sacrifice for unity, to allow Jesus to transform them in his priesthood that is the means of reconciliation for the entire human race. During this Octave and beyond, we\u2019re called to sacrifice ourselves in prayer with Jesus, to sacrifice ourselves in forgiveness with Jesus, to sacrifice ourselves in charity with Jesus. And Jesus wants to give us the new wineskins to do it. But we have to obey this will of the Author of Salvation to bring that about.<\/li>\n<li>Over the course of upcoming days, we\u2019ll ponder Jesus\u2019 High Priesthood more and how we\u2019re supposed to be transformed by it to unite ourselves to it. We know that the great act of his High Priesthood occurred in the continuous prayer of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, in the Sanctuary of the Upper Room, Gethsemane and Calvary. We\u2019re now about to receive that High Priest and Victim, so that entering into communion with Him, we may obey him and \u201cDo this in memory of him,\u201d making our life a holocaust together with him for the Father\u2019s glory, for the unity of all believers, and for the salvation of the world.<\/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 id=\"\/bible\/hebrews\/5:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&id=79f7b88090&e=b55e3798ee\">Heb 5:1-10<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Brothers and sisters:<br \/>\nEvery high priest is taken from among men<br \/>\nand made their representative before God,<br \/>\nto offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.<br \/>\nHe is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring,<br \/>\nfor he himself is beset by weakness<br \/>\nand so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself<br \/>\nas well as for the people.<br \/>\nNo one takes this honor upon himself<br \/>\nbut only when called by God,<br \/>\njust as Aaron was.<br \/>\nIn the same way,<br \/>\nit was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest,<br \/>\nbut rather the one who said to him:<br \/>\n<em>You are my Son:<br \/>\nthis day I have begotten you;<\/em><br \/>\njust as he says in another place,<br \/>\n<em>You are a priest forever<br \/>\naccording to the order of Melchizedek.<\/em><br \/>\nIn the days when he was in the Flesh,<br \/>\nhe offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears<br \/>\nto the one who was able to save him from death,<br \/>\nand he was heard because of his reverence.<br \/>\nSon though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered;<br \/>\nand when he was made perfect,<br \/>\nhe became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/110:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&id=0702209aec&e=b55e3798ee\">Ps 110:1, 2, 3, 4<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
