Almsgiving @ Quadragesima

Almsgiving is...
... any material favour done to assist the needy, and prompted by charity. We do not do so to boast of our riches; we merely share what God has given to us with our fellow brothers and sisters.

Choice A: Make conscious attempts to fast on Thursdays, and give the money you saved ($5 if you don’t usually need to spend on food) anonymously to any charitable organisation.

Choice B: Set aside $10-20 (set an amount and stick with it) as an offertory at each of the coming Sunday Masses.

Choice C: Save $1-3 every day (set an amount and stick with it) throughout our entire journey together, and give the lump sum to any good charitable organisation (this organisation should be one that helps the needy).

If you are a non-Catholic Christian: Choice A or C.
