Oblate Program at Belmont Abbey, NC

Bind the soul with the love of virtue

The soul at prayer should have before her a sacred image of the God-man, in his birth or infancy or as he was teaching, or dying, or rising, or ascending. Whatever form it takes this image must bind the soul with the love of virtue and expel carnal vices, eliminate temptations and quiet desires.

Bernard of Clairvaux
