St Bernard of Clairvaux, the Mellifluous Doctor, left the world to found Clairvaux and drew countless souls by his holiness, wisdom, and love of Christ and Mary. Famed preacher, counselor of popes, defender of the Cross, and mystic of the Sacred Humanity, he stands “in medio Ecclesiae” as last of the Fathers. Within Our Lady’s Octave his voice urges us: despise vanity, cleave to the Cross, and follow Christ with steadfast devotion.
