Saint of the Day – 14 September – Saint Odilard of Nantes (8th Century) Bishop of Nantes, France. Also known as – Odilardus, Odilardo.
Odilard was the Bishop of Nantes who in the chronology of the Bishops of the Diocese, was included after Deotmar, mentioned in 757 and before Alan. In some lists, he appears in twenty-fifth place, in others in twenty-ninth place, placed between the years 776-800.
We know nothing about his personal life. In modern historical writings, Saint Odilard is mentioned in a deed of donation of Charlemagne in the year 797, where he appears among the guarantors in a transaction concerning two “villae” which were located in the region of Angers.
Even if, in the second collection of documents of Saint Albinus, Bishop Odilard does not appear as a Saint, the Diocese of Nantes, in its Proper, celebrates him today, 14 September.
Passionate Catholic.

Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.

"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
