St. Bernard says: “Praise be to Jesus. I am Bernard of Clairvaux. I was a Cistercian in my worldly existence. Today, I come to you with this prayer:”

“Mary, my Mother, Protectress and Refuge – Your Immaculate Heart is our safe harbor in any storm. Manifest now the power God has given You in answer to this plea – Mary, Protectress of the Faith and Refuge of Holy Love. Amen.”
