Sincere prayers for a speedy recovery and best wishes to Archbishop Buechlein. The archbishop was Bishop of Memphis from 1987-1992, succeeding Bishop (now Cardinal) J. Francis Stafford and distinguishing himself as a straight-shooting son of St. Benedict.
I suppose the recent appointment of an auxiliary bishop in Indy was a response to these ongoing health problems. He certainly has my prayers for both his soul and his body.
He`s in my prayers .
Pax et bonum .
He has my prayers!
My prayers as well. Our bishops carry heavy burdens.
I didn’t know about this.
I will pray for him. You’re absolutely right, AnAmericanMother; our Bishops ‘do’ carry heavy burdens.
I will be praying for him.
