Everyone is invited to spend some quiet time with Jesus anytime during these hours.

Prayer for a New Bishop
Almighty Father,
for one hundred thirty-seven years you have sent
to the Church of Ogdensburg shepherds after your
own heart.
Send forth the Holy Spirit upon Pope Benedict,
that he might choose for us a new Bishop,
full of courage in preaching the Gospel,
wisdom in governing the Church,
and zeal in leading us in the paths of holiness.
Grant to the man you will send to us
the protection of our Lady of the Immaculate Conception,
our Mother and our Patroness.
We make this prayer through her Son,
Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
