BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX

BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX

c. 1090 – 20 August 1153

            Bernard of Clairvaux, Saint Bernard, was an abbot, mystic and co-founder of the Knights Templar. When Pope Honorius II died in 1130, Bernard supported Pope Innocent II. Bernard advocated crusades and convinced many to participate in the Second Crusade, which was unsuccessful. He was canonized 21 years after his death by Pope Alexander III.

The man who is wise, therefore, will see his life as more like a reservoir than a canal. The canal simultaneously pours out what it receives; the reservoir retains the water till it is filled, then discharges the overflow without loss to itself ... Today there are many in the Church who act like canals, the reservoirs are far too rare ... You too must learn to await this fullness before pouring out your gifts, do not try to be more generous than God.
