A Prayer For Our Bishops
Jesus, Good Shepherd
Jesus, Good Shepherd, You sent us the Holy Spirit, to guide Your Church and lead her faithful to You through the ministry of the successors of Your Apostles, the bishops.
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, grant to Your bishops wisdom in leading, faithfulness in teaching, and holiness in guarding Your sacred Mysteries.
As they cry out with all the faithful, “Our Father”, may Your bishops be ever more closely identified with You in Your Divine Sonship and offer their own lives with You, the one saving Victim.
Renew in Your bishops deeper faith, greater trust in You, childlike reliance on our Mother Mary, and unwavering fidelity to the Holy Catholic Church.
