Christ is the Word incarnate. The Word has gratitude, generosity, sacrifice, justice, harmony, and communion as its essential and generative quality. The priesthood that Christ lived, and the sacrifice he offered had them to the full. They were not based on any religious ritual order. Structures of rituals and priesthood that do not emerge from these cannot have anything in common with Christ. Christ’s priesthood is to bring life, beauty, and joy. It liberates people from shame and tears. Sacrifice of Christ is not about rituals, it is about the virtue of sacrifice. The first makes the priest a king, the second makes the priest a victim and offering. His living sacrifice was to stretch himself to the life of the people, his altar was their flesh and tears. In Christ there is no curtain of the sanctuary, grace pierces and lifts up the human flesh to fill gratitude, generosity, sacrifice, justice, harmony, and communion and to form true priesthood.
