sin of pride.God gave him a choice ofthree punishments:\"Seven years famine,three monthsof fight before his enemies,or three day pestilence inthe land.”  \n● David then asked that he be punished ratherby God than by men,because it was better tofall into the Hands of God.\"I am in a greatstraite;but it is better that I should fall intothe Hands of the Lord(for His Mercies aremany)than into the hands of men.”When Goddecided upon a pestilence,the avenging angelthat brought the pestilence stopped at the thresh-ing floor of Areuna,the Jebusite.David came tovisit Areuna and said that he would build therean altar.Areuna offered to give to David his gifts,the oxen,the threshing floor and all that wasnecessary for sacrifice,but David refused becauseit would cost him nothing.\"Nay,but I will buyit of thee at a price,and I will not offer to theLord,My God,holocausts free cost.\"  \n● David was right in saying that we shouldnever offer to God that which costs us nothing.Everything must cost us something,then partof ourselves goes with the gift.Because we arebegging for the Holy Father,we must use themost Christ-like of appeals,in order to be worthyof Him.The noblest of all appeals,is sacrificebecause a sacrifice is a giving not what we have,but what we are.A real gift costs something:“If I be lifted up,I will draw all men to Myself.”The cost was His Own Life.The reason OurBlessed Lord praised the gift of the poor widowin the Temple was because she gave everything,though it only amounted to a few pennies.God'sacceptance of any gift depends upon the amountof love and the sacrifice that is in it.That is whywe do not merely ask you to send us a dime ora dollar or part of your capital,we ask you to dothat which in some way cuts into your ego andyour love of pleasure,for example.denying your-self a dessert or a cocktail or a package of cigar-ettes —anything which costs you something.Bydenying lower interests an outlet,you give aninlet to Christ.  \n(。  \nThe left
