Annual Giving: Knocking at Midnight
Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer.’ ..Because of your shameless audacity your friend will surely get up and give you what you need. Luke 11: 5-6, 8
Each year at this time the Ignatian Spirituality Institute knocks on the doors of our friends begging help. One might wonder why we are consistently in need of additional resources. Is it a lack of planning or failure of management? No. We ask our friends for help because it’s midnight and people come to the Ignatian Spirituality Institute hungry for what they need and want.
