A sacrificial theology means that you must begin to see yourself as an “associate” of Christ in the distribution of the graces of redemption. You must learn to echo the words of Christ who said, “This is my body which I give up for you.” That is, develop a Eucharistic spirituality that offers your body (all of your physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological affliction) for Him and for others.
No suffering need be meaningless, we are given an opportunity to offer something to God and even to offer it up for a cause.
