O God,
We pray for our Bishop elect, Denis.
Filled with your Spirit, may he minister with wisdom, understanding, knowledge and right judgement.

Hold him close to your heart that he may be an instrument of your love and compassion in the service of your people. Amen.

A Prayer for our Diocese:
Gracious God,
We thank you for the many blessings which you have given to the people of this Diocese.
May we find joy in our faith and be renewed in our hope.
May all who struggle know your love and care.
Help our young people to respond to the call of the Gospel with generosity of spirit, serving you as priests, religious and lay people.
Sustain and inspire us through the intercession of Mary and our patron saints, Brigid, Conleth & Laserian.
May your Spirit continue to move among us and raise up new saints in our midst. Amen.
