The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
In today’s first reading from the book of Exodus Moses seals the Covenant by offering a thanksgiving sacrifice by sprinkling blood on the altar and on the people. The second reading from the book of Hebrews continues to outline of the meaning of sacrifice on behalf of the high priest. Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world becomes the sacrifice for mankind by His death on the Cross.
