“Do you wish your prayer to fly toward God? Make for it two wings: fasting and Almsgiving.” St. Augustine
So we are reaching out to all of you supporters of CMT to not only give something up, fast as the Church asks, but then take that money you save and OFFER IT UP as Almsgiving to CMT!
Your financial gift or your Almsgiving, makes an immediate and lasting impact during Lent. OFFER…
- $90 / a fast food meal, once a week, can help feed a priest on Mission, while he provides spiritual nourishment to missionaries
- $160 / 8 steaks (each Friday and Holy Week), can cover the work project costs (building materials) for one missionary
- $240 / avoiding wine during Lent, 10 of you can build a roof when natural disaster have ravished an area.
- $320 / daily coffee, 68 of you can provide one well in Peru to bring fresh clean water to those people in marginalized areas
By denying yourself during Lent, preparing yourself for Jesus’ redemptive suffering and aligning yourself to be like Jesus and OFFERING UP your suffering with Him, you too are helping his Kingdom, as we are called to do.
“Some people give to the missions by going. Others go to the missions by giving. Without both, there are no missions.”
