In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for the gift that bishops are to the Church. We ask You to bless all bishops as they carry out the work of leading Your Church.
Many Catholics in our modern world choose to turn away from Your Church and live far from Your friendship. Some dioceses face large decreases in numbers of practicing Catholics. Bishops dealing with this problem of Catholics abandoning Your Church must pray and work faithfully to help bring lapsed Catholics back.
We ask You to assist all bishops of Your Church, and we particularly ask today that You help all bishops who are dealing with dwindling numbers of practicing Catholics in their diocese!
Help us to do all we can to bring others to You in our lives. Help us to be Your faithful servants in all things.
And I especially ask in this novena (mention your intentions here).
Lord, hear our prayers!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
