St. Bernard of Clairvaux ~ However great may be the temptation, if we know how to use the weapon of prayer well, we shall come off conquerors at last...
For if thou wilt protect me, dear Mother, I fear nothing: not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all Hell together; nor even from Jesus, my Judge Himself, because by one prayer from thee. He will be appeased. But one thing I fear, that in the hour of temptation, I may neglect to call upon thee and thus perish miserably! ~ Part of Novena Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. ~ Taken from Catholic Prayers, TAN books & publishers. page 112.
