Sheen’s editorial in September-October 1959, urging readers to support the Society for the Propagation of the Faith through personal sacrifices. The message explains how divine work is carried forward using human hands, and frames giving as union with God. It includes reader appeals and practical instructions for sending donations via diocesan directors or directly to Bishop Sheen in New York. Several sections address prayerful novena makers, those in America skeptical of God, and people avoiding wills.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":45,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/mission-september-october-1959-letters-from-the-editor/324847/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/mission-september-october-1959-letters-from-the-editor/324847.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Seraphina","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-08","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What does the editor emphasize about giving to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The editor stresses that sacrifices help carry the effects of redemption forward through human hands, and that giving increases union with God while serving missions worldwide.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"Where should readers send their sacrifices and donations?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"Readers are instructed to send sacrifices to their diocesan director, or directly to Most Rev.
