A Fitting Sacrifice

What is a fitting sacrifice, the height of the religious service, the rite that pleases God? Unlike the Aztecs we do not want to cut out human hearts, offered to the sun god. We do not want to sacrifice other animals like many of the ancients did.

The Christian communion miracle is not a bad way to go.

Whatever is your faith, enjoy your sacrificial ritual, as long as it is not cruel, murderous or barbaric.

I would favor sacrificing the self's independence from God's control. That is a gift that God desires and cherishes.

I would also offer one's soul as a intellectually, spiritually and morally developing entity to God as a gift for use in this world and the next.
