The true meaning of sacrifice

Struggling to Save His Amazon, From the Top of a Death List

I often think about this. I know I would go some distance to protect my family and myself from harm but would I have the courage to do what TarcĂ­sio Feitosa da Silva and Sister Dorothy Stang have done. Sr. Dorothy paid the ultimate price for her work. I think about whether or not I would have the courage to do such a dangerous thing simply because God's poor need it done. I'm not sure I have an answer that pleases me.
