On the feast of Saint Bernard of Clairvoux...

"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 by this confidence I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother!

"To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful! Despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen."

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.
