But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, \u201che sat down at the right hand of God,\u201d and since then has been waiting \u201cuntil his enemies would be made a footstool for his feet.\u201d For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. [And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryIndent\">\u201cThis is the covenant that I will make with them<br \/>\nafter those days, says the Lord:<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryIndent\">I will put my laws in their hearts,<br \/>\nand I will write them on their minds,\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">he also adds,<\/p>\n<p class=\"poetryIndent\">\u201cI will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin.]<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Gospel Hymn: <\/b><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/u_A7pqFdY6I?si=Aa-6sKKo0khXbGkr\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Glory to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<p><b>Holy Gospel<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">Mark 13:1-8<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"lessonText\"><span class=\"initCap\">A<\/span>s Jesus came out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, \u201cLook, Teacher, what large stones and what large buildings!\u201d Then Jesus asked him, \u201cDo you see these great buildings?

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
