"If it is, at all times, our duty to have recourse to prayer, to obtain from God that He would bless our labors, and grant ns the graces of which we stand in need, what urgent motives have we not, at the present moment, to raise our voices in prayer in order that, ever mindful of the promises made to His Church, God would enlighten and direct the Bishops who are about to assemble in His name to consult on the present wants of the Church in this Province and to make those regulations which may appear to them conducive to the spiritual welfare of those committed to their charge."
