The sacrifice of Christ is first of all the spiritual sacrifice of His life for His Father and His brothers; on the cross it becomes a blood offering, never ceasing to be the sacrifice of His divine and human heart (spirit); and in the sacramental economy it is offered anew on the altars of the world so as to unite the spiritual offerings of the faithful. The whole of Christian life is meant to become a spiritual offering, that is to say, a worshiping in Spirit and in truth, united with the Eucharistic sacrifice. Everything that Jesus did, said, and suffered had the goal of redirecting man to his original calling. This goal is preserved and communicated in the Eucharist, especially thanks to its sacrificial dimension. The Eucharist is not an ornament of Christian life, but the wellspring of change in life, and thus a place for bringing about “worship in Spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24) and the worship of God with the Logos and, modelled on the Logos, for subordinating one’s life to God. On this basis, it is clear that the rediscovery of the sacrificial dimension of the Eucharist contributes to its greater connection with the mystery of Christ and Christian life.References
