Along with the bread and wine brought to the altar along with any financial gifts are all the choices all the sacrifices we made in the last week to love God and to love other people. What did you specifically offer the Father through Jesus at your last Mass? What are you working to offer him this week? The spirituality of offering is best summed in Romans chapter 12 verse 1 & 2:

I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.

Take some time to meditate and discuss what Paul is talking about here is really the spirituality we are meant to embody in our full active consciousness participation in the Mass. Take a moment to think and discuss how to you can grow in such amazement that the bread and wine become the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus. Christ is made truly present on the altar. The bread and wine is changed into Jesus so that we can be more changed into Jesus at every Mass. How does God want to change you at your next Mass? Were you hungry for a certain change at your last Mass. Mary said “He fills the hungry with good things” Luke 1:53.
