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

God will either give us what we ask, or what He knows to be better for us.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Many of those who are humiliated are not humble. Some react to humiliation with anger, others with patience, and others with freedom. The first are culpable, the next harmless, the last just.
Bernard of Clairvaux
Let us then cast ourselves at the feet of this good Mother, and embracing them let us not depart until she blesses us, and accepts us for her children.
Bernard of Clairvaux
To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.
