History
Saint
Bernard’s parents were devoted to Christ, and they taught him to love and serve
the Lord, too. When he went to college, everybody noticed his beautiful faith.
After his mother died, he entered a religious order, where he quickly became a
leader among the other brothers. He helped start a new monastery and wrote many
beautiful prayers, including the Memorare, a prayer that many, many Catholics
have relied on to get them through all kinds of troubles and temptations.
Activity:
Today,
pray the Memorare together as a family.
"Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never
was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to 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." |
