Pray for Our Bishops

Not open for further replies.
Tonight I decided to resurrect this thread.

I was watching a video today featuring the responsibilities our bishops have and how so many have fallen into modernism, etc over the past few decades.
We MUST continue to pray for them.
I’m guessing that there are other threads here at CAF for this very purpose.
Eternal Father, I lift up to You all the bishops of the world. Sanctify them. Heal and guide them. Mold them into the likeness and holiness of Your Son, Jesus, the Good Shepherd. May their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ Name I pray.
Amen.

Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
** Amen.*

** Be mindful of us, O blessed Joseph, and intercede for us with thy foster-Son by the pleading of thy prayer. Do thou, in like manner, render the blessed Virgin Mary thy Spouse gracious onto us, for she is the Mother of Him who with the Father and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, world without end.**
** Amen.**

** In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.**

This quote from St. John applies to every bishop: “If others lose their savor, then your ministry will help them regain it. But if you yourselves suffer that loss, you will drag others down with you. Therefore, the greater the undertakings put into your hands, the more zealous you must be.” —St. John Chrysostom’s homily on Matthew’s gospel; Liturgy of the hours IV:121

THIS WEEK’S SAINTLY BISHOP
** St. Thomas of Villanova, **Archbishop of Valencia

St. Thomas reminds us of the true meaning of being pro-life. He affirmed motherhood and giving the expectant mother in crisis what she truly needs without her ever asking or perhaps even realizing the need she has.

SUGGESTED PRAYER

O God, provide for our bishops a clear vision of the merits of Christ. Strengthen in them a faith so strong that they will speak against the enemies of peace and charity. I ask this through Christ our Lord.
