This Saint Took 30 People with Him to the Monastery!

St. Bernard of Clairvaux was a true influencer. He convinced 30 of his friends and family to enter the monastery with him!

He’s also the author of one of the most-beloved prayers for Catholics: The Memorare

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 do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
