With her for guide, you shall never go astray while invoking her, you shall never lose heart so long as she is in your mind, you are safe from deception while she holds your hand, you cannot fall under her protection you have nothing to fear if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal.

Bernard of Clairvaux
From the best bliss that earth imparts, we turn unfilled to Thee again.

Bernard of Clairvaux

Bernard of Clairvaux
He won me over entirely by giving Himself entirely to me.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Your actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
