The Bishop of Limerick says he is reflecting on the decision he now has to make and has asked mass goers for their continued prayers - especially this week.
Expectation has grown that Dr Donal Murray will resign from his position.
In a letter being read out at masses in Limerick, Bishop Murray says he is acutely aware of the pain and anguish felt by people following the publication of the Murphy report on clerical child sex abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese.
It found he failed to adequately investigate complaints and suspicions of abuse.
The Primate of All Ireland Cardinal Sean Brady has said he is confident Bishop Murray ''will do the right thing''.
Cardinal Brady said the public response to the report has been one of "anger and distress, broken trust and sadness".
Cardinal Brady and the Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin will travel to Rome this week to meet Pope Benedict and discuss the Murphy report.
