Upcoming Events
The ISLC together with the University of San Francisco
is involved in two major projects this winter and during
the coming spring. One is oriented towards memory of
the spiritual and religious imagination these times have
brought forward. The other is oriented towards the
future of the Church that cannot be thought of apart
from a memory that challenges the status quo of how
things seem to always have to be.
It is time during this COVID to see how we discovered
resilience and how we began to bring the vision of
Pope Francis with his dream for a different Church and
a healing of the world.
Please, click further down for the link to the first part
of the research and in what way COVID has challenged
and perhaps changed our own
Pope Francis’ religious and spiritual imagination.

May for information: californiamandolin@gmail.com.Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, Our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
and ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God,
the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the
living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church;
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
Stewardship Prayer
Lord and source of all gifts, I rejoice in the
fullness of your generosity. I thank you for those
whose lives are visible signs of your love and
blessing to others. Give me the courage to do the
same. Make me a good steward of all I have
received, generously sharing my time, abilities,
and material resources to build up your kingdom
of love and justice. We ask this through Jesus
Christ, in whom we begin and end all things.
Amen.
Prayer of St. Francis
(Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we
receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.You can also read
