Today we pray for Bishop Odore Gendron, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Manchester.
He was ordained to the priesthood in 1947 and ordained to the episcopate in 1975. He retired as Bishop of the Diocese in 1990.
Lord, guide and strengthen him in his role as a successor of Your Apostles, that he may continue to be a shepherd of souls and may each day become a greater image of Your love for man. May Mary watch over him in a special way, help him in his vocation and lead him to You, her Son.
