Sermons of St. Bernard on Advent and Christmas: Including the Famous Treatise Missus Est

Arguably St Bernard's greatest work, his Sermons of the Song of Songs (or Canticle of Canticles) is one of the classics of western spirituality. This is the original Latin work for scholars and those with a working knowledge of the Latin language.

In this 11th century text, St Bernard of Clairvaux, Doctor of the Church, gives the reader his insights and advice on Love, describing the four separate kinds of love that seekers experience on their path to Loving God: self-love, selfish love, loving God objectified, and loving one's self in God. This desire for Deity, the Saint asserts, is both a duty, because "He loved us first...miserable sinners, with a love so great and free", and a delight, as God bestows upon those who attain to the fourth stage of Love the blessed state of the Heavenly Fatherland, free from pain, sorrow and despair. St. Bernard's poetic medieval prose is surprisingly accessible, full of intriguing imagery, flashes of humor, and deep wisdom.

The first and greatest commandment is this: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind.” Medieval monk and church leader St. Bernard of Clairvaux explores four stages of love by which the follower of Christ moves from selfishness deeper and deeper into a life of all-consuming love for Almighty God. His deeply insightful words, penned centuries ago, ring just as inspiring and true today as they did the day they were written.
