Bishop Olmsted would like the following prayer used throughout the diocese regularly until the Holy Father appoints a successor to Bishop Pelotte. It should be prayed by the whole congregation at all Sunday Masses, perhaps after the Prayers of the Faithful –or- at the end of Mass. Schools and all other institutions and agencies of the diocese are asked to incorporate this into their regular prayer.
Prayer for a
new bishop for the Diocese of Gallup
Heavenly Father, Your Son Our Lord Jesus Christ sent Peter and the Apostles to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God. In our Holy Father, Benedict XVI, St. Peter is among us still. Together with all the Bishops, the successors to the Apostles, the Church continues your work of sanctification and evangelization.
God Our Father, give us faith, confidence and trust as Pope Benedict discerns who best to come to the Diocese of Gallup to be our new bishop, our new shepherd and spiritual father.
We the faithful of the Diocese of Gallup come to you in the sure and certain hope that Christ the Good Shepherd will be made present to us in our new bishop.
Come Holy Spirit, hear and answer our prayer.
