A bishop’s motto often reflects the values and vision that guide his ministry and relationship with the people he serves.

In tonight’s video, Bishop Joseph Toal reflects on the meaning behind his episcopal motto: “Walk humbly with God.”

Taken from the Prophet Micah, Bishop Toal shares how these words have shaped his ministry, from walking alongside communities in Argyll and the Isles to serving the people of the Diocese of Motherwell today.

Reflecting on faith, humility and the presence of God in both nature and daily life, Bishop Toal explains why this Scripture passage became the guiding thread of his episcopal ministry.

Watch now as Bishop Toal shares the inspiration behind his motto.
