O God by your Gift alone,

you call your servant and priest William to serve the Church of Killaloe.

Enable him to carry out worthily the office and ministry of bishop.

Grant that under constant guidance he may lead by word and example the people entrusted to his care.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

God for ever and ever.

Amen
