Death used to separate humanity from God, but because of Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice, it’s now our gateway to eternal life. In this episode of Voyage, join Fr. Richard Ounsworth from Holy Cross Priory in Leicester as we explore Hebrews 10 and the profound parallels between Christ's sacrifice and the Day of Atonement.

We’ll dive into the transformative power of Christ’s single offering, abolishing the old law’s sacrifices to establish a covenant that sanctifies us once and for all. Discover how the tearing of the temple veil symbolizes our access to heaven and how Eucharist and baptism unite us with Christ's flesh. Fr. Ounsworth also addresses common fears about sin, offering assurance of God’s mercy and the confidence we have through faith.

Whether you’ve faced struggles, doubts, or persecution, this episode will inspire you to persevere in hope and provoke love and good deeds within your community. The message is clear: Christ’s victory is final, and we are called to live in the freedom of that promise.

Tune in for this deeply encouraging and theologically rich reflection on Hebrews 10.
