Lord God, you call shepherds to guide your people.
We thank you for our new Archbishop, Sithembele Sipuka.
Bless him with wisdom, courage, and compassion as he leads your Church.
Fill him with your Holy Spirit, guide his words and actions in truth and love, and keep him strong in faith and humble in heart.
May he be Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice for all entrusted to his care, uniting us in faith and purpose.
Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.
Amen.
