Today we pray for Bishop Francis Christian, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester.
Bishop Christian was ordained to the priesthood in 1968 and to the episcopate in 1996 as Auxiliary Bishop of Manchester, a position he holds to this day.
Lord, watch over this man, a successor of the very Apostles you sent out into the world; may he be constantly renewed in following their example and work every day to bring your good news to the world. Mother Mary, watch him and guard him in your mantle and draw him ever closer to your Son.
