How much more

“For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes can sanctify those who are defiled so that their flesh is cleansed, how much more will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to worship the living God.” (HEB 9: 13-14)

It is not only about the difference between “the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of a heifer’s ashes” and “the Blood of Christ,” but also about any comparison between what is ours (our love, dedication or generosity) and what is His. “How much more” is always His answer for everything we do for Him.

“Open our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of your Son.” (Gospel Acclamation)
