What is a sacrifice? It is easy perhaps in our own lives to think of it as an act of limiting ones own freedoms for someone else, or otherwise some common good. Yet through Christ, through his teachings and ultimately upon the cross, we were shown a different interpretation of sacrifice –as rather an act of love, of generosity. Living with this example, it is up to us to offer our own bodies up to the Lord as a sacrifice, not in order to simply receive his love, but also to give -and give boundlessly- ones own in return.
