Prayer for a new Bishop

As we await the appointment of a new Bishop, following the resignation of Bishop Alan Williams last March, we might offer the following prayer at this time:

O God, eternal shepherd,

who govern your flock with unfailing care,

grant in your boundless fatherly love

a pastor for your Church of Brentwood

who will please you by his holiness

and to us show watchful care,

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen

(Roman Missal)
