St. Bernard
of Clairvaux
Ecclesiasticus
15:1-6. John 17:20-26
The Most high loved you into being.
I. your strength and your redeemer,
am with you always even to the end
of time, and Our loving Holy Spirit
is your direction and your power
to follow in the Way. Be constantly
aware of the love of My beloved
Mother and pray, with her, both
for yourself and for the fulfilment
of the Father’s loving purpose
in you and for all you pray for
in the Way.
I am in you and you in Me as you
continue faithful in the Way, faithful
to the Father’s Word in the
grace and power of His Love. Desire
nothing save knowledge of the Father’s
will for you and power to do it
in and through Our redeeming, sanctifying
love. I bring you to the Father
and make Him known to you as I remain
in you and you in Me.
