Jesus makes a terrifying analysis of them: “You are not of God.” In the Epistle St. Paul indicates how the High Priest of the Old Testament offered the blood sacrifices of victim goats , an offering which acknowledged that man deserves to be done away with for trying to do away with God by sinful rebellion.
He now beholds the Altar of Calvary where Jesus, Eternal High Priest, sheds His Precious Blood to “cleanse our conscience” and “to serve the Living God.” Let us not “stone” Christ or cause Him to hide Himself.
Today, Psalm Judica me and Gloria Patri after the Introit and Psalm at Lavabo are omitted.
