A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours.
Your post reminds me of a saying I heard often from my late Father: "Sacrifice is the language of Love."
"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
