Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

St. Bernard is the patron of bees and candlemakers.

Here is a simple project using votives and beeswax.

Very nice! I love candles and beeswax things. It's great that there are several saints with patronage for beekeepers and candlemakers during the year.

I am really glad you mentioned this feast in advance. I haven't done much liturgical prep this month. My cousin's daughter has just joined a Cistercian cloistered monastary. She went this week. I have been thinking about them a lot and now just making the connection to St. Benedict and St. Bernard. We'll be praying here especially for their intercession for her and her family during this transition time.

I'll join you in prayer for your cousin's family, especially her dd, during this time of change for them.
