Heavenly Father,
look with mercy on your people,
and grant us a new shepherd.
Help those who choose our bishop

of your Holy Spirit

Father, we ask this through
our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.  Amen

St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
