ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN NOVEMBER Saints celebrated on the 18th of November BLESSED ODO OF CLAIRVAUX Odo was subprior at Clairvaux and disciple of St Bernhard. He shone through exceptional gentleness and other virtues. Most sources refer to him as a "Blessed" (Menardus, Bucelin, and others); Saussayus lists him among the "Saints". It is specifically related of Odo (in Chalemot) that during the celebration of the Holy Mass he was often ecstatic and appreciated seeing the dear Saviour face to face.
