Frank Wright offers a personal reflection on the importance of praying to the saints, encouraging Catholics to make their faith an active part of everyday life rather than something passively observed. A seventeenth-century painting depicting Christ embracing St. Bernard of Clairvaux captured his imagination and inspired him to seek the saint's intercession. What began as an appreciation for a beautiful work of religious art gradually developed into a personal devotion, leading Frank to believe that sometimes a saint finds us rather than the other way around.

Frank explores the story of St. Bernard, his devotion to Christ and Our Lady, and his association with the medieval Crusades. Reflecting on the painting's depiction of Christ consoling the saint, Frank explains how prayer and the intercession of the saints can provide hope amid the despair, disorder, and suffering of the modern world. He encourages viewers to discover a saint to whom they feel particularly drawn, incorporate that devotion into their daily prayers, and remember that the promise of eternal salvation offers consolation beyond the troubles of earthly life.

The saints are not distant. They are not decorative. They are alive in Christ—and they are waiting to help. The question is whether we will ask. The answer may change everything.
