Appeal from Canticle Magazine

Heidi Hess-Saxton, editor of Canticle Magazine, posted this message on her blog today. Canticle is a wonderful magazine that I have been privileged to write for. If you can, please help them reach their goal.

Canticle Magazine: A Mother's Day Appeal

Dear Friends:

Yesterday I had an eye-opening e-mail message from Rita, our Vice President of Operations. I had wanted to spend $50 on a beautiful piece of artwork to illustrate a special story in an upcoming issue. Kindly but pointedly, Rita mentioned that the subscriber rates have not improved as we'd hoped they would ... Neither is the ad revenue at the level we would wish. And while there are no plans to disband "Canticle," neither is there money for nice extras like beautiful artwork. This was a little discouraging at first ... but then I decided to see it as an opportunity to exercise my faith muscles a little more. I'm asking God for 100 new subscribers in the next month. Will you join me in that prayer? Can you possible BE part of the answer to that prayer?

So... I'm writing to you to ask you to consider sending a special Mother's Day gift to the mothers (both biological and spiritual) in your life. If you have been touched by an article in the magazine (such as the St. Elizabeth Seton article in our January issue, right), or even if you just can't think of what else Mom might appreciate ... Please consider blessing her with her very own subscription! You'll be glad you did ... and so will she. And so will I.

When you order, please be sure to mention the notice on the blog. And thanks for your support!

Warmly,

Heidi
