The priest is the mediator, the conduit between God and people, and through his prayer, absolution can be obtained for you and me. Above all, recognizing Jesus' role as our intercessor encourages us to bring our burdens and concerns to Him in prayer, and experience a deeper intimacy with God through Christ with unfailing compassion for mankind. 1st Reading: Hebrews 7:25—8:6 Jesus is always able to save those who approach God through him since he lives forever to make intercession for them. It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once and for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a son, who has been made perfect forever. The main point of what has been said is this: We have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister of the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up. Now every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus the necessity for this one also to have something to offer. If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are those who offer gifts according to the law. They worship in a copy and shadow of the heavenly sanctuary, as Moses was warned when he was about to erect the tabernacle. For God says, “See that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” Now he has obtained so much more excellent ministry as he is the mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises. The Word of the Lord. Responsorial Psalm 40:7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17 R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. Sacrifice or oblation you wished not, but ears open to obedience you gave me. Burnt offerings or sin-offerings you sought not; then said I, “Behold I come.” R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. “In the written scroll it is prescribed for me, To do your will, O my God is my delight, and your law is within my heart!” R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. I announced your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know. R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. May all who seek you exult and be glad in you, And may those who love your salvation say ever, “The LORD be glorified.” R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. Jesus' ability to cast out demons reveals His divine character. Not only did the demons recognize Him as God's Son, but they also fled under His authority when He expelled them. They obeyed Him when He commanded them to be silent and were compelled to follow His directives, even though they were His most vengeful foes. Jesus is God's only Son. He came to dwell among us. Through the power of His words and the authority of His actions, He demonstrates His divinity. Let us follow Him, learn from Him, place our faith in Him, and give our all to be true disciples of Jesus. Gospel Acclamation: 2 Timothy 1:10 Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life to light through the Gospel. Gospel Reading: Mark 3:7-12 Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of people followed from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd so that they would not crush him. He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him. And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.” He warned them sternly not to make him known.
