“Bernard entered the monastery wanting to disappear and be forgotten so as to only attend to God.” But far from this, because of his enormous gifts, he became one of the great figures of his age, a spiritual powerhouse for the Church.

 

[Dan_Defender]

Many miracles were attributed to his intercession. One time he restored the power of speech to an old man that he might confess his sins before he died. Another time, an immense number of flies, that had infested the Church of Foigny, died instantly after the excommunication he made on them.
St Bernard, you gifted one, pray for us!
