THIS CROSS UPON IT HAS NO CHRIST W £^7- $ i 52= J/ '■C.’S^1’ jF.^1 I r^e vzs W ,«’i!L '$$-•''' .'■ uK, WAITS FOR YOU from yourself. Why does a Carmelite Sister keep only a cross in her cell and not a crucifix? Because she offers herself for re-cruci fixion after the example of the Master. “If we suffer, we shall also .reign with Him/’ (2 Timothy 2:12) When you give, you donate something apart When you sacrifice, you surrender a part of yourself which makes you one with The Crucified. Each time you give something in the Name of Our Lord, you wash your hands of some of your sins. Each time you sacrifice something in the Name of Our Crucified Lord, you scar your hands with love, as He kept His scars after the Crucifixion. On October 18th, you are invited to become a ’partaker in the suffering of Christ” throughout the world by making a sacrifice for the more than 1,100,000,000 pagans throughout the world. If all these pagans walked in single file, one each second, day and night, it would take them thirty-one years to pass your front door! But the collection box for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith will take only a second to pass before you. If you miss that, please do not miss the grace that comes from aiding the Society for the Propagation of the Faith which the Holy Father said is ’the charity that sur passes all other charities as heaven surpasses earth, and eternity, time.” Mail your sacrifice to your Diocesan Director.
