Friends of the Rosary,
Jesus reveals to us that anyone following him will receive a hundred times more in this life and eternal life.
As we read today, he said to his disciples (Mt 19:23-30):
“Amen, I say to you
that you who have followed me, in the new age,
when the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory,
will yourselves sit on twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters
or father or mother or children or lands
for the sake of my name will receive a hundred times more,
and will inherit eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
Today, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153), the French abbot who perfected the Cistercian monastic rule. It would become the model for 163 monasteries of the Cistercian reform.
He was a theologian, poet, orator, writer, and one of the last Church Fathers.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux was an apostle of the Crusades, miracle worker, reconciler of kings, the leader of peoples, and the counselor of popes.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
