Prayer for Bishops

I don't have much time to post tonight.

I just have prayer requests for two bishops.

First of all, Archbishop Roussin, who has been on leave since August struggling with depression (he wrote a pastoral letter explaining why he was taking leave back in August). He just returned this week and is slowly easing back into his work and duties as bishop. Please keep him in your prayers for continued healing, courage, strength, and an abundance of God's grace in his life.

Secondly, Bishop-elect (I think that's the right term) Gary Gordon, a priest who has been in our Archdiocese for many many years, who was just recently been appointed Bishop of Whitehorse and who's episcopal ordination will be on Wednesday. Please keep him in your prayers as he begins his ministry as bishop and adapts to a radically new life in the service of Christ and His Church. Also, please pray for the assistant pastor at the parish he previously was at who has all of a sudden found himself alone serving a rather large parish.

Thanks for your prayers for the universal Church! :-)
