From the moment that man died on the cross, the word sacrifice became a huge word, a great word, and it revealed—as when the sun rises, like a sun that rises—that the whole life of every man is woven of sacrifices, is full of shudders of sacrifice, is, as it were, dominated by the need to sacrifice…
…sacrifice becomes the keystone of all life—life’s value is in the sacrifice one lives—but also the keystone for understanding the history of man.
—Monsignor Luigi Giusanni (via Magnificat)
