Vocations Views: A Prayer of Gratitude for Archbishop Nienstedt

I will join Fr. Todd in this prayer!

Vocations Views: A Prayer of Gratitude for Archbishop Nienstedt

Lord, our God,
You chose your servant, John,
In the tradition of the apostles,
To be the shepherd of your flock
in the Diocese of New Ulm.
We thank you for his ministry with us
And for his spirit of courage, knowledge, wisdom, and love.
Bless him in his new duties as Archbishop.
Guide him to be a faithful teacher, a wise
administrator,
and a holy priest.
May you sustain us with loving care
as we await a new Bishop,
And guide us as we continue to grow in
faith,holiness, charity, and loving service.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
