In other words, every patron, no matter what bracket of ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium where the major guests appear and events take place. Nothing upsets us more than hearing about other conventions that sell tickets to patrons and then those very same patrons have to wait on additional lines inside the facility to get into or sometimes not the main theatre. Once Upon A Time StoresAn important Creation Entertainment difference we want you to know about The Creation difference extends to our 4. In the last few years weve seen promoter after promoter fail taking hard earned ticket money down with them. Inexperienced promoters, often first timers, use celebrity images and names to get ticket money which they use to hopefully pay their expenses. When that fails theyve already gone through your ticket money and they collapse leaving no recourse for ticket holders. They say buyer beware but this has happened in Twilight, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Firefly fandom to name just a few and we really feel for those great fans who have lost their ticket money and upset travel plans.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Help support New Advent and get the full contents of this website as an instant download. Includes the Catholic Encyclopedia, Church Fathers, Summa, Bible and more all for only 1. Born in 1. 09. 0, at Fontaines, near Dijon, France died at Clairvaux, 2. August, 1. 15. 3. His parents were Tescelin, lord of Fontaines, and Aleth of Montbard, both belonging to the highest nobility of Burgundy. Bernard, the third of a family of seven children, six of whom were sons, was educated with particular care, because, while yet unborn, a devout man had foretold his great destiny. At the age of nine years, Bernard was sent to a much renowned school at Chatillon sur Seine, kept by the secularcanons of Saint Vorles. He had a great taste for literature and devoted himself for some time to poetry. His success in his studies won the admiration of his masters, and his growth in virtue was no less marked. Bernards great desire was to excel in literature in order to take up the study of Sacred Scripture, which later on became, as it were, his own tongue. Piety was his all, says Bossuet. He had a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin, and there is no one who speaks more sublimely of the Queen of Heaven. Bernard was scarcely nineteen years of age when his mother died. During his youth, he did not escape trying temptations, but his virtue triumphed over them, in many instances in a heroic manner, and from this time he thought of retiring from the world and living a life of solitude and prayer. St. Robert, Abbot of Molesmes, had founded, in 1. Cteaux, about four leagues from Dijon, with the purpose of restoring the Rule of St. Benedict in all its rigour. Returning to Molesmes, he left the government of the new abbey to St. Alberic, who died in the year 1. St. Stephen had just succeeded him 1. Abbot of Cteaux, when Bernard with thirty young noblemen of Burgundy, sought admission into the order. Three years later, St. Stephen sent the young Bernard, at the head of a band of monks, the third to leave Cteaux, to found a new house at ValledAbsinthe, or Valley of Bitterness, in the Diocese of Langres. This Bernard named Claire. Valle, of Clairvaux, on the 2. June, 1. 11. 5, and the names of Bernard and Clairvaux thence became inseparable. During the absence of the Bishop of Langres, Bernard was blessed as abbot by William of Champeaux, Bishop of Chlons sur Marne, who saw in him the predestinedman, servum Dei. From that moment a strong friendship sprang up between the abbot and the bishop, who was professor of theology at Notre Dame of Paris, and the founder of the cloister of St. Victor. The beginnings of Clairvaux were trying and painful. The regime was so austere that Bernards health was impaired by it, and only the influence of his friend William of Champeaux, and the authority of the General Chapter could make him mitigate his austerities. The monastery, however, made rapid progress. Disciples flocked to it in great numbers, desirous of putting themselves under the direction of Bernard. His father, the aged Tescelin, and all his brothers entered Clairvaux as religious, leaving only Humbeline, his sister, in the world and she, with the consent of her husband, soon took the veil in the Benedictine. Convent of Jully. Clairvaux becoming too small for the religious who crowded there, it was necessary to send out bands to found new houses. Monastery of the Three Fountains was founded in the Diocese of Chlons in 1. Fontenay in the Diocese of Auton now Dijon and in 1. Foigny, near Vervins, in the Diocese of Laon now Soissons, Notwithstanding this prosperity, the Abbot of Clairvaux had his trials. During an absence from Clairvaux, the Grand Prior of Cluny, Bernard of Uxells, sent by the Prince of Priors, to use the expression of Bernard, went to Clairvaux and enticed away the abbots cousin, Robert of Chtillon. This was the occasion of the longest, and most touching of Bernards letters. In the year 1. 11. Bernard was present at the first general chapter of the order convoked by Stephen of Cteaux. Though not yet thirty years old, Bernard was listened to with the greatest attention and respect, especially when he developed his thoughts upon the revival of the primitive spirit of regularity and fervour in all the monasticorders. It was this general chapter that gave definitive form to the constitutions of the order and the regulations of the Charter of Charity which Pope Callixtus IIconfirmed 2. December, 1. 11. 9. In 1. 12. 0 Bernard composed his first work De Gradibus Superbiae et Humilitatis and his homilies which he entitles De Laudibus Mariae. The monks of Cluny had not seen, with satisfaction, those of Cteaux take the first place among the religious orders for regularity and fervour. For this reason there was a temptation on the part of the Black Monks to make it appear that the rules of the new order were impracticable. At the solicitation of William of St. Thierry, Bernard defended himself by publishing his Apology which is divided into two parts. In the first part he proves himself innocent of the invectives against Cluny, which had been attributed to him, and in the second he gives his reasons for his attack upon averred abuses. He protests his profound esteem for the Benedictines of Cluny whom he declares he loves equally as well as the other religious orders. Peter the Venerable, Abbot of Cluny, answered the Abbot of Clairvaux without wounding charity in the least, and assured him of his great admiration and sincere friendship. In the meantime Cluny established a reform, and Suger himself, the minister of Louis le Gros, and Abbot of St. Denis, was converted by the apology of Bernard. He hastened to terminate his worldly life and restore discipline in his monastery. The zeal of Bernard did not stop here it extended to the bishops, the clergy, and the faithful, and remarkable conversions of persons engaged in worldly pursuits were among the fruits of his labours. Bernards letter to the Archbishop of Sens is a real treatise De Officiis Episcoporum. About the same time he wrote his work on Grace and Free Will. In the year 1. 12. Bernard assisted at the Council of Troyes, which had been convoked by Pope Honorius II, and was presided over by Cardinal. Matthew, Bishop of Albano. The purpose of this council was to settle certain disputes of the bishops of Paris, and regulate other matters of the Church of France. The bishops made Bernard secretary of the council, and charged him with drawing up the synodalstatutes. After the council, the Bishop of Verdun was deposed. There then arose against Bernardunjust reproaches and he was denounced even in Rome, as a monk who meddled with matters that did not concern him. Cardinal. Harmeric, on behalf of the pope, wrote Bernard a sharp letter of remonstrance. It is not fitting he said that noisy and troublesome frogs should come out of their marshes to trouble the Holy See and the cardinals. Bernard answered the letter by saying that, if he had assisted at the council, it was because he had been dragged to it, as it were, by force. Now illustrious Harmeric, he added, if you so wished, who would have been more capable of freeing me from the necessity of assisting at the council than yourselfForbid those noisy troublesome frogs to come out of their holes, to leave their marshes. Then your friend will no longer be exposed to the accusations of pride and presumption.
