(6:45) What is a sacrifice?
(12:34) Ramon - I would like some advice to know if what I'm doing is a sacrifice for someone else or for me.
Walter - Reading a book by Archbishop Luis Martinez called The Sanctifier.  Whole purpose of the Holy spirit's work is to reproduce Jesus in us. Sacrifice, joy, love.  Most important is sacrifice because that's our job on earth.

(22:11) Break 1
Nick - When we look at the crucifix, it's a great invitation.  We saw what he went through and we unite our sufferings.  All of those sufferings that bring about death are unavoidable.  He asks us to offer it up. We have to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity. I'm offering my struggles.
(26:52) How do we cultivate the spirit of a Martyr?
How can we cultivate sacrifice in our own lives?
(34:45) James - There's a phrase in the psalms that talks about sacrifice of praise.  I would like to talk about that.
