Reading 1, Hebrews 10:19-25

¹⁹ We have then, brothers, complete confidence through the blood of Jesus in entering the sanctuary,

²⁰ by a new way which he has opened for us, a living opening through the curtain, that is to say, his flesh.

²¹ And we have the high priest over all the sanctuary of God.

²² So as we go in, let us be sincere in heart and filled with faith, our hearts sprinkled and free from any trace of bad conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³ Let us keep firm in the hope we profess, because the one who made the promise is trustworthy.

²⁴ Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love and good works.

²⁵ Do not absent yourself from your own assemblies, as some do, but encourage each other; the more so as you see the Day drawing near.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 24:1-2, 3-4, 5-6

¹ [Psalm Of David] To Yahweh belong the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live there;

² it is he who laid its foundations on the seas, on the flowing waters fixed it firm.

³ Who shall go up to the mountain of Yahweh? Who shall take a stand in his holy place?

⁴ The clean of hands and pure of heart, whose heart is not set on vanities, who does not swear an oath in order to deceive.

⁵ Such a one will receive blessing from Yahweh, saving justice from the God of his salvation.

⁶ Such is the people that seeks him, that seeks your presence, God of Jacob.
