Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Naming of Bishop Donald Hying

Risen and Radiant Lord, your resurrection makes all things

new and renews our faith and hope in you. We praise you with joyful Alleluias

during this Easter Season and offer you our sincere gratitude for calling Bishop Donald Hying

to serve as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Madison. May he lead us as a shepherd

who cares for his flock and seeks out the lost sheep.

Grant health, strength and wisdom to Bishop Hying whose family roots lie deep in the heart of our Diocese.

Strengthen the bonds of unity in our Diocese so that we may serve you as one body.

Purify us in your Sacred Heart

and sustain us in love of God and neighbor, for your love never fails.

Grant that the faithful of our Diocese boldly answer your call

to proclaim your name to the ends of the earth so that we may sing your praises for ever

around your altar in heaven where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy

Spirit, one God for ever and ever.

Amen.

“The disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 13:52) The disciples heard Our Lord’s call and were able to spread the Gospel message with strength and vitality. We, too, can experience that same joy if we make room

for the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts. When we use our gifts in the way that God intends, He fills us with supernatural joy. A joy that others notice and are attracted to.
