## Resource

In this week's session of Catechism and Bible Study with the Council of Catholic Men (Wednesday, 01/28/2026), we continue our journey through Hebrews, focusing on chapter 9. Exodus, Leviticus, and 3 Kings—highlighting how the earthly tabernacle, priestly rituals, and blood sacrifices prefigure Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice. We explore the footnotes’ key themes: Christ as the mediator of the New Covenant, the efficacy of His blood to cleanse the conscience from dead works, and the finality of His offering that “exhausts” the sins of many. We link Hebrews to 1 Peter, 1 John, Revelation, Galatians, Romans, and Mark to deepen our understanding of redemption, baptism, and living faith. We then move to catechism study (St. Peter Canisius) on the primacy of faith—why “he that cometh to God must believe”—and how belief, baptism, and a life of charity belong together. To conclude, we read from St. Alphonsus’s “Victories of the Martyrs,” recounting the life and trials of St. John Chrysostom, his courageous pastoral reform, unjust depositions and exiles, and his persevering witness alongside the martyrdoms of Sts. Tigrius and Eutropius. We wrapped with prayer and a look ahead to Hebrews 10 next week.
