The bishop receives the fullness of the sacrament of Holy Orders, which integrates him into the episcopal college and makes him the visible head of the particular Church entrusted to him. As successors of the apostles and members of the college, the bishops share in the apostolic responsibility and mission of the whole Church under the authority of the Pope, successor of St. Peter.

Prayer for Priests Based On the 10th Promise of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Eternal High Priest, let Your love flow into the hearts of Your priests and transform them into living images of you. By Your grace, make them true apostles of your Sacred Heart.
I pray for the fulfillment of the promise You made to St. Margaret Mary: "I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts."
May Your Kingdom come to the hearts of all through the ministry of holy priests! Amen.
Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, OCDS
