Offering up a sacrifice

Pain can be literal or figurative. Sometimes there is both. Since we don't live in the garden, life isn't perfect. Jesus told us we needed to pick up our cross and follow him. He certainly picked up His (3 times) for us. And so, we can do the same for Him and all of our sisters and brothers. We offer up all of our pain(s) to God as a sacrifice and there we will meet our Lord and Savior. Alleluia!
