Hebrews 6:10-20     <'[[[[><  +  ><]]]]'>     Mark 2:23-28

Brothers and sisters: God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love you have demonstrated for his name by having served and continuing to serve the holy ones… This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and firm, which reaches into the interior behind the veil, where Jesus entered on our behalf as forerunner, becoming high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 6:10,19-20).

What a beautiful passage,
so reassuring and timely in
this Ordinary Jubilee of 2025
with the theme of Hope;
in this world where promises
are often made to be broken
than kept, thank you dear Jesus
in assuring us of your keeping
your promises.
Like the anchor that keeps
a ship or a boat stable
while moored,
you O Lord Jesus Christ
as our anchor keeps us
filled with hope
because you never disappoint
like most humans.
Forgive us, dear Jesus,
when we anchor our hopes in
rituals and things like the Pharisees
who were so focused on the letters
about sabbath, forgetting its essence
as a good news, a break, a release
and freedom from the burdens of
work and time to be attentive to God
our very root and life.
Forgive us, dear Jesus,
when we are so afraid not to break
rules but we break persons,
we break promises to love
and to be kind with one another;
grant us the grace of courage 
to persevere holding on to your promises
in the gospel like St. Agnes, 
Virgin and Martyr
who opened herself to your Spirit
because you alone, O Christ
is able to "reach into the interior 
behind the veil" of the temple into
the very presence of God in Heaven.
Grant us, O Lord, a true sabbath,
a break from our harsh judgments
of others based simply on 
incomplete videos
and stories.
Amen.
