What Christ suffered - for you Enter into the Passion of Jesus Christ, following the most up-to-date evidence available from medicine and archaeology. Learn what Jesus suffered for us, and how we can united our sufferings with his as we live out our Christian life. Read more Come, enter his sacrifice, the one that gives your sufferings and sacrifices power In his Passion, Jesus exercised his priesthood. The essence of priesthood is to offer sacrifice on behalf of others. In Jesus sacrifice he offers himself his entire self for us sinners so that heaven is opened to us. His sacrifice has eternal consequences, because the one who was sacrificed is eternal. By studying his Passion, we enter deeply into Jesus sacrifice, the same sacrifice that is re-presented daily (except Good Friday when we recall the original bloody sacrifice) on altars in an un-bloody fashion throughout the world. And in learning more about Christ and his suffering, we also learn that each of us is a priest because we have been baptized in Christ as priest, prophet, and king. Few of us are ordained priests, but all who are baptized have a priesthood to exercise. How do we exercise it? By offering sacrifice on behalf of others, just like Jesus. Because he has united us to himself through the sacraments, our sacrifices are united with his. And his sacrifice has eternal consequences. Therefore, in offering our sacrifices in unity with his, they too can have eternal consequences.
