Theology can only take us so far
Theological statements set a fence around the mystery though they don’t exhaustively describe it.

Speech: How Should We Study Theology
The incarnation is a sacrifice
A sacrifice is not limited to death. The whole of Christ’s life is a sacrifice. The incarnation is already a sacrifice.

Not everything is found in Holy Scripture
If, for these and other such rules, you insist upon having positive Scripture injunction, you will find none. Tradition will be held forth to you as the originator of them, custom as their strengthener, and faith as their observer. That reason will support tradition, and custom, and faith, you will either yourself perceive, or learn from some one who has.
…This instances, therefore, will make it sufficiently plain that you can vindicate the keeping of even unwritten tradition established by custom; the proper witness for tradition when demonstrated by long-continued observance.
Tertullian
The Chaplet
Chapter IV
