As Catholics we are called to acknowledge the love and care of our
generous Creator and love Him in return by loving our neighbor as He
loves us. God is with us. And participating in the Catholic Family
Sharing Appeal with prayers and financial support has direct impact on
our neighbors and our own families.
As you consider your gift to the Catholic Family Sharing Appeal, take time and reflect on the following points:
- Thanksgiving - our offering is a grateful response
to the immense love God has shown for us. God is first in our lives. We
are only responding to what God has already done for us.
- Sacrificial - To "sacrifice" means to make sacred,
not to give until it hurts. Through sacrificial giving "we make sacred"
the work of our daily lives. Praying about our decision is necessary to
truly offer it from the heart.
- Prayerfully Planned - This is a decision that
requires prayer, thought and time. We are not called to give merely what
we have left over but we are called to prayerfully consider our gifts
and resources
