We should offer the Lord the sacrifice of Abel.
A sacrifice of young unblemished flesh, the best of the flock; of healthy and holy flesh; a sacrifice of hearts that have one love alone – you, my God.
A sacrifice of minds, which have been shaped through deep study and will surrender to your Wisdom; of childlike souls who will think only of pleasing you.
Lord, receive even now this sweet and fragrant sacrifice.
This excerpt is from Josemaría Escrivá’s book The Forge.
