The Marian Doctor of the Church | St. Bernard of Clairvaux (Aug 20)

About This Prayer

This is Catholic Voices and Prayers — bringing saints’ stories to life! Today is August 20th. We honor St. Bernard of Clairvaux, the great Cistercian monk, preacher, and Doctor of the Church. Born in 1090, he inspired a revival of monastic life, became a peacemaker in the Church, and left writings on love, humility, and devotion to Mary that still guide Catholics today. He is credited with popularizing the prayer “Memorare” and is remembered for his famous words: “What we love we shall grow to resemble.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux, pray for us! ✝️ Subscribe for more Catholic saints who shaped the Church through holiness.
