Today the Church celebrates Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot, Doctor of the Church, and spiritual pillar of Christendom.
For us Templars, Saint Bernard is much more than a Saint: he is the Spiritual Father who redefined the meaning of chivalric life.
It was he, with the power of his words and his authoritative support at the Council of Troyes, who gave shape and legitimacy to the Nova Militia. Through his treatise “De Laude Novae Militiae”, he achieved a perfect synthesis between the path of faith and armed action, ennobling the profession of arms and binding it indissolubly to prayer, the protection of the weak, and the defense of the faith.
From then on, the Christian knight is no longer just someone who brandishes a sword, but a man devoted to asceticism, discipline, self-sacrifice, and honor.
Guardians of this sacred heritage, today we celebrate his memory, renewing the flame of that ancient ideal. ⚔️❤️🔥
Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam!
