See your gift grow!

Friday, March 5th, 2010

The theme of Share Lent 2010 is “see your gift grow”.  Coincidentally (or perhaps not) that is also the title of this blog post from one of our members.

The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace has been a prophetic voice and agent for social justice for more than fourty years.  This is not to say that Development and Peace disapproves of charity, we raised over 13 million for emergency relief for Haiti after all, but rather that we know that political and economic justice is needed if human dignity is to flourish in the long term.

“Love is God’s greatest gift to humanity; it is God’s promise and our hope.”
- Pope Benedict, Caritas in Veritate.

Share Lent 2010 is the annual campaign of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace. Your gifts through Share Lent grow wisely in the hands of people in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.

You are invited to give, with love, so that they can participate more fully in the feast of life.

Show your gratitude for God’s love through your generous gifts to Development and Peace this Lent.
