We who have a deep personal relationship with Jesus are not put off in the least, of the constant talk or reflection of the blood of Jesus. For His precious blood is life! Through His precious the veil was torn and we can see and experience Him.
Through Him we are One in communion with Him and one another. How then can we stay away from community meetings? To stir a response of love and good works in one another and for the rest of the world. For our light must shine for the world to see.
As I turn to see You Lord, let me see my sister and brother with and in You. Amen

Hebrews 10:19-25 ·
Let us keep firm in the hope we profess
Through the blood of Jesus we have the right to enter the sanctuary, by a new way which he has opened for us, a living opening through the curtain, that is to say, his body. And we have the supreme high priest over all the house of God. So as we go in, let us be sincere in heart and filled with faith, our minds sprinkled and free from any trace of bad conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us keep firm in the hope we profess, because the one who made the promise is faithful. Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love and good works. Do not stay away from the meetings of the community, as some do, but encourage each other to go; the more so as you see the Day drawing near.

Gospel
Mark 4:21-25
A lamp is to be put on a lampstand. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given
Jesus said to the crowd, ‘Would you bring in a lamp to put it under a tub or under the bed? Surely you will put it on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to this.’
He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The amount you measure out is the amount you will be given – and more besides; for the man who has will be given more; from the man who has not, even what he has will be taken away.’
