Prayer

ICSC June Stewardship Prayer

Prayer is the first principle to embracing stewardship as a way of life. Through prayer, we confront our own spiritual disorganization and chaos and create a sacred inner space within ourselves where we can meet and have a conversation with God. Exercising good stewardship over our life of prayer is the first essential step to our ultimate goal in the spiritual life: to live unceasingly with a deep joy in the presence of God. On the next page we have included a June stewardship prayer for your consideration.   Continue Reading…

Models of Stewardship

Stewardship Saints

Saint John Fisher is one of the two most renowned defenders of the Catholic faith and martyrs in England during the reign of King Henry VIII, the other being Saint Thomas More. He was a scholar and a bishop who embraced his pastoral responsibilities with much energy and compassion for the faithful in his diocese. Fisher was also a popular preacher who was in great demand. When asked to affirm King Henry VIII’s desire to end his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, he incurred the king’s wrath by defending the sacrament and then later rejecting Henry’s claim to be the supreme head of the Catholic Church in England.
Inspiration

June Reflection - Stewards of Our Neighbors: Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan

After many centuries of recounting Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) the story seems to have lost the “sting” Jesus intended for it. Especially now, when we are coming out of social isolation, perhaps it is appropriate to reflect on the Gospel story which reveals Jesus’ encounter with the legal scholar and his response to the question: Who is my neighbor? Perhaps now is a good time to reflect more deeply on Jesus’ teaching and its practical implications for our lives in these times of continued uncertainty.
