Rumors swirl

19 MARCH 2012. Rumors swirled this evening in Tallahassee, the solemnity of St. Joseph, that tomorrow will offer a new bishop to steer the helm of the church of Pensacola-Tallahassee.

Of note, there is studied speculation that the new bishop will be a priest long familiar with this stretch of the Sunbelt. Pray!

Prayer

Heavenly Father, 
You have blessed our diocese time and again 
with good and holy bishops 
who have led us ever closer to you. 
Aware of your profound love for us, 
we ask you to bless us once again. 
Send us a good and holy man 
to become our next bishop. 
Inspire us, the clergy, religious and the laity 
of the diocese to work generously with him 
so that we might grow together in your love 
and continue the good work you have begun in us 
for the sake of all. 
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, 
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 
one God forever and ever.

Amen.
