Ever felt powerless in some situation? History has proven that one man can change the world. Without the writing and actions of Bernard of Clairvaux, the Knights Templar may never have grown to the immense and powerful organization for doing good in the world. Read his story and be encouraged that if Bernard of Clairvaux could change the world, you can too. Check out his story here: https://www.theknightstemplar.org/saint-bernard-of-clairvaux/

St Bernard had to be one of the most charismatic men of his day! All that traveling must have been terribly difficult in those days. Being from a good family and educated, he could have easily accepted a more comfortable station in life. It seems amazing by today’s standards that religion had so much meaning and influence back then.

It is hard to relate to those times isn’t it? The Catholic Church in those days was more powerful than most nations. Hard to get my head around a church being that powerful.
