To sacrifice is to make holy. Most of us are given enough suffering in this world that if we were to offer it fully and freely to the Lord, that would be enough. We need only to accept; well, the penances that life gives us. Any additional sacrifices — ones that we choose — should be chosen carefully, intentionally, after checking in with someone else, and always looking toward freedom. We sacrifice to seek always greater freedom to be totally given again to the Lord.

To the Father’s eyes, we are not defined by our sin and our weakness…

Life and Mystery
Would you agree that life is a journey or a pilgrimage? The journey to say yes to what God wants for our life is not just this thing that happens like a contract; we say, “Yes,” it’s a journey. The holiness, the sanctification, the healing, it takes time.
