I love our Bishop.

We should also offer up prayers, Bishop Zubick had surgery today to have kidney stones removed.

I am so proud of Bishop Zubik. He is a wonderful priest and we are blessed to call him the Bishop of Pittsburgh. He is now in the hospital with a bout with kidney stones…he actully called channel 4 news to wish all a Happy Easter and blessed Passover.

He is a leader in the true sense of the word… I stand with him in defense of Pope Benedict.

I was at that Mass to retrieve the oils. It was a beautiful homily. He is so holy and humble.

We have to pray for him, however because he is in the hospital with kidney stones at the moment.
