Ordinary 32

Hebrews reflects on the sacrifice of Christ. It is the perfect sacrifice which replaces the need for the sacrifices of the Old Testament. It is the one sacrifice that is everpresent to us. In "The Lamb's Supper", Scott Hahn speaks of how his understanding of this sacrifice being offered "once for all" changed. From the Protestant position of "once" meaning one time only and not to be repeated to the catholic position of "once" being an eternal event which we share in at each Mass.

Themes include: sacrificial giving; trust in God, priesthood of Christ, sacrifice of the Mass
