JESUS Entered With HIS Own Blood

"But, now, CHRIST has appeared, as the high priest, with regard to the good things of these new times.  HE passed through a Sanctuary more noble and perfect, not made by hands, that is, not created.  HE did not take with HIMSELF the blood of goats and bulls, but HIS own blood, when HE entered, once, and for all, into this Sanctuary, after obtaining definitive redemption.  If the sprinkling of people, defiled by sin, with the blood of goats and bulls, or with the ashes of a heifer, provides them with exterior cleanness and holiness, how much more will it be, with the blood of CHRIST?  HE, moved by the eternal spirit, offered HIMSELF, as an unblemished victim, to GOD, and HIS blood cleanses us from dead works, so that we may serve the living GOD." - Hebrews 9:11-14 

(All that is asking for something impossible, if it is not through the imitation of CHRIST-priest: the renunciation of self even to death.

The text allows us to see at close range what the unique priest has been--far removed from the liturgies of the earth.  It helps us to see the priesthood of CHRIST in all the baptized in the measure of their involvement in the life of the Church, be it in the apostolate, preaching, service of neighbors, or quite simply in a silent or suffering life.)
