| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrifice of the Mass |
| | Since sacrifice is thus essential to religion, it is all the more necessary for Christianity, which cannot otherwise fulfil its duty of showing outward honour to God in the most perfect way. | | | In all religions we find, as the essential idea of sacrifice, a complete surrender to God for the purpose of union with Him; and to this idea there is added, on the part of those who are in sin, the desire for pardon and reconcillation. | | | As God's determination to do away with the sacrifices of the Levites is adhered to consistently throughout the denunciation, the essential thing is to specify correctly the sort of sacrifice that is promised in their stead. |

| | Willingness to sacrifice oneself, the ultimate sign of faith in social existence, is also the sign of the patriot, the proven and true member of the nation- group. | | | The doctrine that provides the central experience of Christian faith is the sacrifice of an irreplaceable son by an all-powerful father whose will it was that the son should die violently. | | | Media are instrumental in reporting blood sacrifice and assembling congregations who acquire knowledge of group threats and sacrificial occasions, and are socialized into the proper execution of ritual forms by media. |

| | Sacrifice as homage and as abnegation or renunciation developed only gradually out of sacrifice as bribe; but even when it did, the do ut des idea continued to be operative for a long time in the later stages of religion, especially wherever sacrifice was conceived as supplying the recipient with food. | | | Sacrifices are offered primarily or even exclusively to lesser divinities, spirits of nature, and ancestors who in some instances are regarded as mediators and intercessors with the supreme creator god. | | | The sacrifices known from the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) are, in their external form, largely the same as those found in the surrounding world, especially among the Canaanites. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sacrifice |
| | As the meaning and importance of sacrifice cannot be established by a priori methods, every admissible theory of sacrifice must shape itself in accordance with the sacrificial systems of the pagan nations, and especially with those of the revealed religions, Judaism and Christianity. | | | If the ancient Indian religion was essentially a religion of sacrifice, this religion of the ancient Persians may be described as a religion of observance. | | | Sacrifice and prayer are intended to paralyze the diabolical machinations of Ahriman and his demons. |

| | Also, sacrifice in Mesopotamia was usually performed by priests using the wide range of offerings already presented to the temples, whereas in Israel laymen had opportunity to sacrifice directly to God by bringing the victim to the altar and killing it there." [STB:90] | | | By offering the Passover sacrifice, smearing its blood on their doors, and eating its meat the Israelites set themselves apart as holy; they became the people of God. | | | Individual men and women were constantly offering sacrifices to spirits, ghosts, deities, plants, and so forth; these consisted of bits of food thrown into the fire, pollen and down offerings, beads, pinches of tobacco, among other things. |

| | Sacrifice - Easton's Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org |
| | In the Mosaic period of Old Testament history definite laws were prescribed by God regarding the different kinds of sacrifices that were to be offered and the manner in which the offering was to be made. | | | A distinction also was made between clean and unclean animals, which there is every reason to believe had reference to the offering up of sacrifices (Genesis 7:2,8), because animals were not given to man as food till after the Flood. | | | Abel offered a sacrifice "of the firstlings of his flock" (4:4; Hebrews 11:4). |

| | Given the five gods available in Sacrifice, most would assume that there are five sides to the campaign, or five small campaigns to play. | | | But forget about conventions -- Shiny is throwing all of that out the window with Sacrifice, and it's a great move. | | | That's not really how it works here, and this is where Sacrifice makes a rightful claim to being more than just a gorgeous, full-3D real-time strategy game. |
