The words of Jesus and Jesus who is the Word made flesh is "worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." In this lessons we will discuss why it is that humanity wants to offer something, someone or themselves to God or the gods. It is not enough that we offer to God, we also have to offer the way He asks us. We will look at the oblations of the Old Testament and how those older rites are made new, perfected and fulfilled in Jesus Christ and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Ultimately our oblation, the gift of our self to God, takes place at the Mass, where we offer ourself to the Father through Christ, with Christ and in Christ.
