Memorial of St. Bernard

Every day for some moments…close your eyes to the things of sense and your ears to the noises of the world, in order to enter into yourself. There, in the sanctity of your baptized soul, the temple of the Holy Spirit, say: “O Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore you. Enlighten me, guide me, strengthen me, console me…Let me know your will.” If you do this, your life will flow serenely, even in the midst of trials. This submission to the Holy Spirit is the secret of sanctity.
