St. Bernard of Clairvaux

Today is the day that we celebrate St. Bernard of Clairvaux (valley of Light). Thank you Saint Bernard for your inspiration, and extraordinary love for our Catholic Faith. His life was characterized by deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. His sermons and books about Mary are still the standard of Marian theology... in his words... "In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary. Let not her name depart from your lips, never suffer it to leave your heart. And that you may more surely obtain the assistance of her prayer, neglect not to walk in her footsteps. 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 othing to fear; if she walks before you, you shall not grow weary; if she shows you favor, you shall reach the goal" (St. Bernard)

Saint Bridget of Sweden

As I am driving 8 hours to Northern Ca I have extra time to say my daily prayers. I pick up St. Bridget's prayers and meditation on the passion of Christ.  Wow... What a powerful prayer ! Together we walk through the 7 sorrows of Christ, remember and reflect on His passion and than ask for the mercy and grace to use His sufferings as atonement for our own sins and for our children and grandchildren!
If you have not prayed or meditated upon the Seven Sorrows of Our Lord, I encourage you to start today!
May God Bless us all! And God Bless America
