"Let us offer ourselves with Jesus."

"Jesus is taken to the Temple to be offered to the Father, although, being God, He was not subject to the prescriptions of the Jewish law as were the other firstborn of the Hebrews.  He is the Victim who will be immolated for the salvation of the world.  His presentation in the Temple is, so to speak, the offertory of His life; the sacrifice will be consummated later, on Calvary.  Let us offer ourselves with Jesus."  ~Fr. Gabriel of St. Mary Magdalene, O.C.D., Divine Intimacy

In the simplicity of my heart, O Lord, I have joyfully offered You everything.

~cf. 1 Chronicles 29:17
