This Lent, Christ continues to seek a Simon of Cyrene. Will it be you?

The Passion is not just a memory of the past. Today, millions of our brothers and sisters are living a Good Friday that seems to have no end because of war, poverty, and persecution.

On the way to Calvary, Jesus needed a friendly shoulder to lean on so he would not falter. Today, the suffering Church needs yours. Your Lenten almsgiving is strength for those who are about to fall.

Where pain reigns, the Church decides to remain.

In places marked by terrorism in Nigeria, war in Sudan, or extreme poverty in the Amazon, the logical temptation would be to flee. But our priests and religious choose to remain.

They carry the cross of fear and deprivation alongside their people, comforting, feeding, and keeping alive the hope of the Resurrection. They are the “Simone of Cyrene” of the poorest. But that cross is too heavy to carry alone.

“A tree without water dries up.” The mission needs you.

“Without your support, the mission dries up.”

— Missionary in South Sudan

A missionary in South Sudan told us clearly: “Without your support, the mission dries up.” Faith and dedication are immense, but they are not enough to buy fuel, repair the parish vehicle, or have a plate of food after an exhausting day.

They care for souls, but they need you to care for them. By supporting a missionary with your donation, you become the air that the mission breathes. You ensure that the Eucharist, comfort, and help continue to reach every corner.

Transform your penance into Love.

Lent is a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This year, give your sacrifice a concrete face. May what you give up become bread, medicine, or transportation for a priest who risks his life for the Gospel. There is no greater act of faith than helping to sustain the Body of Christ where it hurts most. Make your offering a true act of redemption.

Prayer

Join your prayer with that of thousands of missionaries who cry out for peace and hope in the most difficult places in the world.

Fasting

Your Lenten sacrifice can be transformed into concrete help for those who need it most.

 

Alms

Your offering sustains Christ’s presence in places where it is most needed.

 

“Every donation is a seed of hope that blossoms in forgotten communities. It is not just material aid, it is the living presence of Christ in the places where it is most needed.”
