Bishop Search Prayer
O God, in your wisdom and mercy you have entrusted us to Jesus, your Word made flesh:  Grant us his clear vision, kind heart, and self-giving love, as together we seek a Bishop for this diocese. Through his Spirit may our wills be so gathered into your will that your reign of justice and love come on earth as in heaven. In our blindness enlighten us, from our stubbornness free us, in the breaking of the bread renew us, that in all things and in every creature we may love you and serve you now and to the ages of ages.
