+ TUESDAY: The Bishops have received the authority God gave the Apostles at Pentecost.

+ WEDNESDAY: In the New Testament we see Matthias, Timothy and Titus made bishops and receive this authority.

+ THURSDAY: Early Church Fathers spoke about bishops and apostolic succession.

+FRIDAY: The miter, crosier, and episcopal ring worn by the bishop help us understand his duty and authority.
