Art Katz emphasizes the significance of the rending of the veil at Jesus' crucifixion, which opened the way for all believers to access the holiest place and commune with God. He challenges the congregation to recognize the self-imposed veils in their lives that hinder their relationship with God, urging them to confront and crucify their self-life to fully experience God's presence. Katz highlights that the invitation to enter boldly into God's presence is available to everyone, not just a select few, and stresses the importance of seeking divine counsel and direction from this sacred space. He warns against the dangers of self-promotion and the subtlety of self-sins that can obscure one's spiritual progress. Ultimately, Katz calls for a genuine experience of the cross to remove these veils and embrace the life and grace offered by God.
