St. Bernard
Ecclesiasticus 15:1-6, John 17:22-26

Take to yourself My Saving Name, the will of your Creator Lord and the prayers of all the redeemed and sanctified. The will of your Creator Lord, Father of all born into His world, is one and undivided; to bring the children of His love into His Presence in the fulness of eternity.

But all are free to accept or refuse it: the leading and the guiding is given to all who seek faithfulness and obedience to it through the grace and power of Our Holy Spirit. The prayers of those made perfect in Our love now in the Nearer Presence are constantly offered for the faithful and the true of heart. Enter in the power and joy of this unceasing prayer that you may be one in Us and with all faithfully committed in Love and with all made perfect in Our Presence. Pray that the Father’s will be fulfilled in you through the grace and power of Our indwelling.
