Today at Holy Cross we welcomed our Bishop, the Rt. Rev. C. Franklin Brookhart, the Ninth Bishop of Montana. Our Bishop travels constantly and hopes to get to visit each church in a year's time, so this was a very special occasion for us.Until his next visit with us, we lift this prayer in his behalf:
Almighty and everlasting God, from whom comes every good and perfect gift: Send down upon our bishops, and other clergy, and upon the congregations committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of your grace; and, that they may truly please you, pour upon them the continual dew of your blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honor of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen. [The Book of Common Prayer, 817]
In peace,
Linda+
