Ask God to be filled with the same zeal that fueled the life of St. Bernard of Clairvaux.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux was a renowned preacher of the 11th century and an influential abbot of the Cistercian Order.
He was fueled by a fiery zeal and had a deep love of God that gave him a profound spiritual life.
Here is the collect prayer for his feast day, asking God to inspire in us the same spirit that St. Bernard had, burning with zeal for the Church.
