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.
GOD
LOVt YOUl
