Day 120: The Apostolic Church (857-862)


Prayer by Fr. Mike: “Father in Heaven, thank you so much. Thank you for bringing us to this day. Thank you for bringing us to Day 120. We thank you for continuing to guide the Church that you built on the foundation stones of the Apostles. Thank you for giving us their successors. Thank you for continuing to sanctify your Church. Thank you for continuing to guide your Church. Thank you for continuing to guard your Church. We ask that you please, those who are our bishops right now, we ask you to protect them. We ask you to inspire them. We ask you to purify their hearts, so that they can be men after your own heart, so that they can lead well, they can shepherd well, they can govern well. Lord God, we pray in this moment for any shepherd in your Church who stands in particular need of your Grace, who stands in particular need of your help in this moment. (Name your local Bishop and pray for him now). We lift him up before you, Father. Fr. Mike prays for his Bishop Daniel. He prays that you continue to guide and guard, to lead him so that he can guide and guard and lead all of us. Make them all great Fathers. We ask you this, Father, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen”
