Directed the Apostles to feed Your flock;
lead, we pray You, the minds and hearts
of those who shall choose a Bishop Suffragan

a Bishop who will faithfully preach God’s
holy Word, administer the sacraments of
the Church and equip Your people for ministry;
through Your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen
