Tuesday 6 September

Col 2:6-15, Ps145, Luke 6:18-19

Support Your Bishop

In choosing the 12 apostles Jesus chose (Judas excluded) our first bishops. Although our faith practice is centred on our parish, we are all in fact members of a Church community led by our bishop. Our bishop carries heavy responsibilities, without the support a parish priest receives from his personal relationships with his parishioners. Our diocese is our Church and our bishop is our shepherd. He needs and deserves our love, our support and our prayers.
