First Reading: 1 Kings 17: 10-16 The prophet Elijah lived about 800 years before Christ. After predicting a drought which did, in fact, take place, he fled to a place where God provided for his needs. Later, God directed him to the city of Zarephath, which was across the northern border of Israel in the pagan territory of Phoenicia. The drought had led to a famine and we see its effects in next week’s passage.. Second Reading: Hebrews 9: 24-28 On Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), the high priest sacrificed a goat on the altar in the temple. Then he took some of the blood into the holiest place in the temple sanctuary where only he was allowed to go. There, he sprinkled that blood as a renewal of the blood covenant made at Mount Sinai, and prayed that God would forgive all the sins the people had committed during the previous year. This ritual is the backdrop for next week’s reading from the Letter to the Hebrews.. November 7/8 .
