Saint of the Day:St. Bernard of Clairvaux



"I know by myself how incomprehensible God is, seeing I cannot comprehend the parts of my own being." St. Bernard


St. Bernard also wrote the beautiful prayer, The Memorare:


Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.


Peace be with you!

Rosemarie, OCDS
