Through prayer, fasting
and almsgiving,
let us be reconciled
to God in Christ Jesus.

Prayer

ICSC March 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.

Stewardship Saints - Saint Patrick

We celebrate the life of Saint Patrick during the month of March. Saint Patrick, the “apostle to Ireland,” is one of the world’s most famous and celebrated saints. His writings reveal a keen understanding of stewardship. He wrote that whatever good he had been able to accomplish on behalf of the Lord, in his “meager, unlearned, and sinful state ... has been a gift from God.” He is thought to have died on March 17, 461, the date which became his feast day.
