St Bernard.
"Are you troubled? Think but of Jesus – speak but the name of Jesus, the clouds disperse and peace descends anew from heaven. Have you fallen into sin? So that you fear death? Invoke the name of Jesus and you will soon feel life returning. No obduracy of the soul, no weakness, no coldness of heart can resist this holy name – there is no heart which will not soften and open in tears at this holy name.” – St Bernard of Clairvaux, whose feast is on 20 August. This statue of the Cistercian Doctor of the Church is in St Patrick's Cathedral, NYC.
