I saw this line earlier today: 841 years ago today St. Bernard of the Abbey of Clairvaux was canonized.” The sheer force of history moved me.
Bernard died on 20 August 1153 and was canonized by Pope Alexander III on 19 January 1174 and Pope Pius VII named him a Doctor of the Church in 1830.
I have grown in love for the life and work of the saint. He is certainly a man of consequence.
Earlier I recommended the study of the Church Fathers, I likewise recommend reading Saint Bernard.
