Memory of St. Bernard, Abbot and doctor of the Church, who, having entered the new monastery of the Cistercian order, with thirty companions was afterwords founder and first Abbot of the monastery of Clairvaux, managing wisely the monks by the way of the commandments of the Lord, with his life, his teaching and his example. He again toured Europe to restore the peace and unity and lit up the Church with his writings and wise advice, until he rested with the Lord near Langres, France. Roman martyrology
