What is the Intention of a Votive Sacrifice
The intention of the sacrifice is very personal.
The intention behind a votive sacrifice is quite personal. People sacrifice to fulfill a specific wish, overcome a difficult situation, or perhaps express gratitude. For example, someone experiencing health problems might offer a votive sacrifice to express their gratitude to God during their recovery.
This sacrifice embodies both a person's desire to fulfill their responsibility to God and a social responsibility.
In this context, a votive sacrifice is not only an act of personal charity but also an act of helping others.
