Prayers
Prayers
We pray for Gustavo Chaviel, ICS graduate of the Class of 2015, and his family as they mourn the loss of Gustavo's step-father, Mario Mora. May God surround Gustavo and his family during this difficult time.
We pray in thanksgiving for the ministry of Pope Francis I! May God continue to bless our Holy Father and may he continue to shepherd the faithful and the world!
We pray for families everywhere and of every shape and size. May families take intentional time to eat, pray and play together and may God strengthen their bonds of love and loyalty.
We continue to pray for the Ramos family (Melissa and Sophie) as they mourn the loss of their uncle. May God's strength and love surround the family and help walk with them through this trial.
We continue to pray for safety and shelter for all people and property throughout the remainder of the 2015 Hurricane Season.
Have a prayer request? Send it to icsmzele@icstampa.org.
Hope Will Rise
Today's Hope Will Rise quote comes to us from Pope Francis during his World Meeting of Families homily. May ICS families and the ICS family be places which teach children to be excited by every gesture aimed at overcoming evil! May we be families that show that the Spirit is alive and at work!
May ICS and your families be places where Hope Will Rise!
