Dominica I Passionis - Passion Sunday Sext Chapter (Heb. 9:13-14)

This chapter at Sext for Passion Sunday draws from Hebrews 9:13-14: 'How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works?' The Epistle to the Hebrews provides the theological interpretation of Christ's sacrifice. At the hour of crucifixion, this text proclaims the purifying power of Christ's blood.

Hebrews 9:13-14
LATINE
Si enim sanguis hircorum, et taurorum, et cinis vitulae aspersus inquinatos sanctificat ad emundationem carnis: quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spiritum Sanctum semetipsum obtulit immaculatum Deo, emundabit conscientiam nostram ab operibus mortuis, ad serviendum Deo viventi?
ENGLISH
For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?
