CONGRATULATIONS HONOURABLE BISHOP CONSECRATED RECENTLY

 

 I wrote to a recently consecrated Bishop
.............................................................................

Respected Bishop,

Ever since your elevation to  Bishop, I wished to congratulate  you.

To me, you were the right choice. In fact I had been praying for that.

As I listened to your inaugural speech, I could see it was revealing at once your simplicity and firmness.

And the song you sang at the conclusion, and your exhortation to the audience to join was the revelation of your ardent faith. 

I know we had never met before.

Your presence at a meeting  held recently was quite invigorating. 

As I saw you walking in, I could sense my perception was exact. 

I have my experience elsewhere. But that has enabled me to judge fast.

I am pretty happy when I see people conducting themselves with dignity and honesty. 

I have an affinity to them. 

You were that.

I pray God guides you in tackling the onerous challenge at the apex of the Church. 

With God you can.

For me, you are the Joshua of today.

When God is with you, you accomplish, even the seemingly impossible.

We keep you in our prayers

Regards
