What does God ask us to "give up," for "sacrifice" is an action of "giving up?" "You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy." We can rejoice in this request. And with the Holy Spirit's help we can make this shift into joy. Let's make this "sacrifice" of fear and be glad.
