Jesus, what made You so small? LOVE!

Bernard of Clairvaux

Wherever…thou shalt be, pray secretly within thyself. If thou shalt be far from a house of prayer, give not thyself trouble to seek for one, for thou thyself art a sanctuary designed for prayer. If thou shalt be in bed, or in any other place, pray there; thy temple is there.
BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX
