“But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.”

Hebrews 9:11-12

Beloved in Christ, as we begin this most holy season of the Church Year, we draw near with faith to the Throne of Grace, lifting up our heads as our redemption draws nigh. This is a time of increased devotion, self-denial, and meditation on the holy Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ.
