Christ the High Priest

[Ruben]

“Picture then the high priest Christ leaving the sacristy of heaven for the altar of Calvary. He has already put on the vestment of our human nature, the maniple of our suffering, the stole of the priesthood, the chasuble of the Cross. Calvary is his cathedral; the rock of Calvary is the alter stone; the sun turning to red is the sanctuary lamp; Mary and John are the living side alters; the Host is His Body; the wine is His Blood. He is upright as Priest, yet He is prostrate as Victim. His Mass is about to begin.”

-From the prologue of “Calvary and the Mass” by Fulton J. Sheen."
