Oremus pro Antistite nostro Alexandro. Stet et pascat in fortitudine tua, Domine, in sublimitate nominis tui. (Let us pray for our Bishop Alexander. May he stand firm and shepherd his flock by Your strength, O Lord, in the majesty of Your name.)

Prayers on Radio 3 for the former Bishop of London - now a Catholic!
As I was reviewing and revising/updating tomorrow's Canon Law lecture, I had the sublime Choral Evensong from St Paul's Cathedral playing through the computer. It was a 1982 archive broadcast. When they came to the intercessions, they prayed for 'Graham our bishop.' Graham is now Mgr Graham Leonard. I hope Anglicans listening will have seen the funny side of this. Say a prayer for them.
Listen again if you want to hear a beautiful service.
UPDATE: See sad news about Mgr Leonard's health in the combox. Pray for him and his family.

I recently went to visit Mons Graham Leonard & his lovely wife Priscilla. Sadly he has suffered a major stroke & is unable to speak only make a few sounds. How terrible for us all who loved to hear his beautiful voice. Please pray for the Leonards.
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know this. I had no idea. Will keep him and his family in my prayers.
