*** St. Bernard of Clairvaux –
On Loving God [Five Essential Quotes]

Tomorrow (August 20) is the Feast Day of St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153),
a French abbott, and one of the very few saints designated as a “doctor of the church.”
The most important, extant book of St. Bernard of Clairvaux is the little tract,
On Loving God . In this work, Bernard offers us much to think and pray and meditate upon.
I’d highly recommend downloading a FREE digital copy of the book, and reading the whole thing:
