Thanks for your help. Yes I agree with you that this is where we also make a spiritual sacrifice to God also but is the Eucharist itself considered to be a propitiatory sacrifice that is offered up to God on behalf of the people by your priest? You see this is what I was trying to get at. I am trying to understand your priesthood better and its functions in relation to the liturgy.
