Today we pray for Bishop John McCormack, the Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester.
Bishop McCormack was ordained to the priesthood in 1960 and ordained to the episcopate in 1995. He has been the Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester since 1998.
Lord, guard and guide this successor of Your Apostles, help him to lead his flock, teaching them in Spirit and truth. May Mary, mother of all priests, watch over him in a special way, shelter him in her mantle, and draw him to her Son.
