“Father, guide our bishops in courage and love.”
This week in our prayer journey toward the Hope and Renewal Summit, we turn our hearts toward our bishops—those entrusted with shepherding the Church in truth, unity, and love.
🙏 Let’s lift them up in prayer.
🙏 Let’s entrust them to Mary, Mother of the Church.
🙏 Let’s ask the Holy Spirit to renew their joy in leading God’s people.
Our bishops carry great responsibility. As they lead us, may they be led ever more deeply by the heart of Christ.
💬 Prayer for the week:
Loving Father,
Strengthen our bishops with courage, wisdom, and compassion.
May they lead with the heart of Christ—rooted in truth, guided by your Spirit, and filled with hope. Mother Mary, gentle guide and faithful disciple, wrap them in your mantle of love and intercede for their ministry. Holy Spirit, set their hearts on fire for mission and renew their joy in shepherding your people. Amen.
