"Let us #rend our #hearts, #beloved, but keep our #garments whole. Our garments are our #virtues; #love is a good garment, #obedience is a good garment. #Happy is the one who cares for these garments that he may not walk naked..."
— #Saint #BernardofClairvaux, #Sermons for Lent and the Easter Season
Go forth confidently then you knights and repel the foes of the #CrossofChrist with a #stalwart #heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the #LoveofGod which is in #JesusChrist and in every #peril repeat Whether we live or whether we die we are of the #Lord.
