Amen. Please sit. First Reading Jeremiah 31:31-34 Lector A reading from the book of Jeremiah. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 51:1-13 Miserere mei, Deus Tone 5 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving / kindness; * in your great compassion blot out my / offenses. Wash me through and through from my / wickedness * and cleanse / me from sin. For I know my trans/gressions, * and my sin is ever / before me. Against you only have I / sinned * and done what is e/vil in your sight. And so you are justified when you / speak * and upright in / your judgment. Indeed, I have been wicked from my / birth, * a sinner from / my mother's womb. For behold, you look for truth deep with/in me, * and will make me understand wis/dom secretly. Purge me from my sin and I / shall be pure; * wash me and I shall / be clean indeed. 4 Make me hear of joy and / gladness, * that the body you have bro/ken may rejoice. Hide your face from my / sins * and blot out all my / iniquities. Create in me a clean / heart, O God * and renew a right spirit / within me. Cast me not away from your / presence * and take not your holy Spi/rit from me. Give me the joy of your saving / help again * and sustain me with your bounti/ful Spirit. Second Reading Hebrews 5:5-10 Lector A reading from Paul’s letter to the Hebrews. Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
