Levi’s blessing with Simeon is a rebuke (Genesis 49:5-7), being told he will be scattered throughout Israel. Levi became the priestly tribe, with its members dispersed around the nation. Jesus, our high priest, invites us to participate in the sacramental life. A disciple obtains a red tiger eye stone upon living the sacraments.

Memory Verses
- The Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. (1 Corinthians 11:23-36)
- Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of you sins; and yo will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)
