    Orémus.
    Intercéssio nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, beáti Bernárdi Abbátis comméndet: ut, quod nostris méritis non valémus, ejus patrocínio assequámur.
    Per Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum: qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
    ℟. Amen.

    Let us pray.
    May the pleading of blessed Bernard, the Abbot, make us acceptable unto thee, O Lord, we pray; that what we may not have through any merits of ours, we may gain by means of his patronage.
    Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
    ℟. Amen.
