So in summary, by offering up our suffering, by accepting Our Lord's invitation to join him on the Cross, he is so moved by our act of love that he bestows upon someone else a grace that helps in the plight of their salvation, because we are all one and all part of the body of Christ and one with him. Very profound. One of the fundamental beliefs in Catholicism that separates us from other Christians.

I am 78.5. Offer it up was tied up with the souls in purgatory. As pre my grandmother. So l continue to do so. May others do so for me.

Excellent…a forgotten Catholic words to live by

That you for clarifying offering it up and what it means. 🙏🕊️

[@marcela7197]

Two of the very best!

This was so good Fathers! Thank you!

I spent 4 days in hospital last week. There are two responses to discomfort and pain when in hosp. We can be miserable and complaintive and uncooperative, or we can offer it up...

Fr Bonaventure is so hilarious I wonder why Fr Jacob-Bertrand wasn't laughing already 😂

[@carolynkimberly4021]

The Traditional Mass teaches this act of Offering. It is absent in the new.

[@Mary-ui4im]

Amen 🙏🕊️

[@vrcarlos6955]

Thanks for this excellent explanation of offering our suffering.

Great example - suffering caused by one's boss or officemate. 99.99% of people in the workforce will be able to relate to that. 🥴

Hi Father Bonaventure and Father Jacob, one aspect I find difficult to understand is with the prayers "I offer you the body and blood...", how is it possible to offer suffering that is not mine to begin with? It seems like offering you my Lamborgini to drive which I don't own and isn't mine but belongs to someone else.

Well. Fr. Jacob still mispronounces it - it is pronounced 'Yan-chick' not 'Jan-tsyk.'
