The father, coming home from work dead tired, yet still finding the energy to be attentive to his wife and children, has presented his body as a living sacrifice for his family. The mother, yielding her sleep and sanity to the children, has presented her body as a living sacrifice to the family. The same is true for the worker who puts in long hours to do the best job possible for the company’s customers. Christ, who is in vocation, takes up all of these sacrifices, small or great, into His sacrifice. And He loves and serves His creation by means of our love and service in our vocations.
