Bishop  Timothy Doherty was ordained and installed as the sixth bishop of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana July 15 . Let’s continue to pray for him as he adjusts to the role of bishop that God has called him to.

Prayer  for Bishop Timothy Doherty

Heavenly Father, You sent Jesus to shepherd Your people and the Holy Spirit to make Your people one. Send Your Holy Spirit to anoint Bishop Timothy Doherty, that he may continue the work of renewal in the Church and unite our parishes, priests and people in love, truth and wisdom. Give him a true shepherd’s heart like that of Jesus,  that he may give strength to the weak, console the lonely, heal the broken-hearted, bring back the wandering and be a power against the evil of our day. We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
