O God, our heavenly Father, who didst raise up thy faithful servant Robert Grosseteste to be a bishop and pastor in thy church and to feed thy flock: Give abundantly to all pastors the gifts of thy Holy Ghost, that they may minister in thy household as true servants of Christ and stewards of thy divine mysteries; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Robert Grosseteste, c. 1175-Oct. 1253. As Bishop of Lincoln he was conscientious and regular in visiting his diocese, which was a departure from the usual practice of his day. Grosseteste was also a supporter of the Franciscans. pic.twitter.com/3efhLujto9
