We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.
Bernard of ClairvauxLet 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 ClairvauxO Blessed Mary, whoever loves you honors God; whoever serves you pleases God; whoever invokes your holy name with a pure heart will infallibly receive the object of his petition.
Bernard of ClairvauxYour actions in passing, pass not away, for every good work is a grain of seed for eternal life.
Bernard of ClairvauxLove is alone sufficient by itself, it pleases by itself and for it's own sake. It is itself a merit, and itself it's own recompense. It seeks neither cause, nor consequences beyond itself. It is its own fruit, its own object and usefulness. I love because I love you, I love that I may love.
Bernard of Clairvaux
