Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just had to share my excitement! The diocese of Davenport has been appointed a new bishop!! Here's the blurb I got in an email:

VATICAN CITY, OCT 12, 2006 (VIS) - The Holy Father:
-        Appointed Bishop Martin J. Amos, auxiliary of the diocese of Cleveland, U.S.A., as bishop of Davenport (area 29,632, population 744,990, Catholics 105,650, priests 121, permanent deacons 46, religious 191), U.S.A. He succeeds Bishop William Edwin Franklin, whose resignation from the pastoral care of the same diocese, the Holy Father accepted, upon having reached the age limit.

Anyone from that area? What is the diocese of Cleveland like? Anyone know Bishop Amos personally?

And could you please pray for him? He's stepping into a big mess here. Most likely a white martyrdom.

Thanks for any info you have to share. God bless!
Angela
