Every priest stands daily at his ministry, offering frequently those same sacrifices that can never take away sins. But this one offered one sacrifice for sins, and took his seat forever at the right hand of God; now he waits until his enemies are made his footstool. For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying: "This is the covenant I will establish with them after those days, says the Lord: "I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them upon their minds," he also says: "Their sins and their evildoing I will remember no more." Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin.
Lord Jesus, you are seated at the right hand of God the Father. Most loving Savior, you made the ultimate sacrifice by willingly giving your life to ransom all of God's children from their sinfulness. You promised to put your laws in our hearts and write them upon our minds. We need only to repent and seek your Divine Mercy. For your covenant says: "Their sins and evildoing I will remember no more." Amen.
