Pray for Your Bishop - What a Novel Idea!

Folks,

In response to Sunday’s post Untangling the confusion about the Church, commenter Madison Catholic suggested that the reader sign up for an account at Rosary for the Bishop to be reminded via e-mail or twitter on a self-selected periodic basis to pray for one’s Bishop.

I have signed up to be reminded to pray for Bishop Michael Burbidge every Monday. On each Monday in the future my daily Rosary will now be devoted for my Bishop.

If every single Roman Catholic prayed for his Bishop, then the power of the Holy Ghost would descend, renegade liberal Bishops would repent, timid and fearful Bishops would be filled with the God's anointing strength and courage, and strong and orthodox Bishops would become the leaders in the fight to restore the Church in America.

Indeed, all the scandals – sex abuse, material cooperation with abortionist politicians, renegade Catholic hospitals, colleges, and women religious organizations, etc. – would all be cleared up. No longer would an abortionist President be permitted to speak at a Catholic University and that institution still call itself Catholic. No longer would a Catholic medical trade group be able to defy the Bishops and support pro-abortion health care, and still call itself Catholic. No longer would our Catholic schools in NY State need money from pro-abortionist Catholic Governor Patterson to stay afloat. All these things would straighten out almost miraculously.

So pray for your Bishop. Pray that he is filled with God’s Spirit, and that the stinging arrows of Satan’s legions are deflected back onto the throwers where they belong.
