Bishop Says!
Apr 8
God of liberation, your resurrection breaks every chain. Free communities bound by poverty, racism, and fear. Teach us to participate in your renewing work, so policies, practices, and hearts reflect the freedom you desire for all your children.
Apr 7
Risen Christ, awaken hope where despair has taken root. Let resurrection shape our pursuit of justice, restoring lives crushed by violence and neglect. May we live as Easter people, proclaiming through word and deed that death, injustice, and hatred never have the final word.
Apr 6
Crucified Lord, teach us to bear the cross of justice with courage. When faithfulness costs comfort or approval, strengthen resolve. May our willingness to carry burdens reflect love that refuses to abandon the suffering.
Apr 5
Holy God, form us through discipline that leads to freedom. Teach us practices that loosen the grip of injustice and deepen compassion. May prayer, fasting, and generosity reshape our lives toward love, mercy, and faithful resistance.
Apr 4
God of perseverance, strengthen those growing weary in Lenten struggle. Renew bodies, spirits, and communities. Teach us endurance rooted in hope, trusting that your work continues beyond our strength.
