Contemplating the sacrifice of Jesus should fill my heart and your heart with gratitude and love for Him. Contemplation of such love should make us repent and resolve never to sin again, because our sins caused Him so much suffering. This change of life can and does happen through right use of the sacraments of Reconciliation (Confession) and Holy Communion.
Sacrifice is a very important theme in LOTR. Frodo is a Christ figure pointing to Christ as Priest. Aragorn points to Christ as King; yet even as King, Christ sacrifices Himself. In LOTR, the Captains of the West are ready to sacrifice themselves to give Frodo his one chance to destroy the Ring.
