Sacrifice; noun; an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure. While this is the official definition of sacrifice, it is not how most of us know the word “sacrifice” today. These days, sacrifice is made on a much smaller scale, such as sacrificing time to help a sibling with their homework, or sacrificing money to buy someone a gift. However, sacrifice can be so much more than that. Famous for her sacrifice, Mother Teresa once spoke words so wise, they are remembered to this day: “A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty us of ourselves.” What exactly does this mean? It means that in order for a sacrifice to be real, it must cost something.
