St Agnes, Virgin and Martyr

Hebrews 5: 1-10; Ps 110: 1-4; Mark 2: 18-22

His prayer was heard

Because our high priest, Jesus Christ, conformed himself perfectly to the Father’s will, his perfect prayer was perfectly heard and perfectly answered by the Father. In Christ, our prayers, even though they are born ‘in the limitations of weakness,’ are heard too. As well, he brings us the gift of everlasting life. What more could we want?
