Who was St. Bernard of
Clairvaux
|
|
St. Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church St. Bernard was born of noble
parentage in Burgundy, France, in the castle of Fontaines near Dijon. Under the
care of his pious parents he was sent at an early age to a college at Chatillon,
where he was conspicuous for his remarkable piety and spirit of recollection. At
the same place he entered upon the studies of theology and Holy Scripture. After
the death of his mother, fearing the snares and temptations of the world, he
resolved to embrace the newly established and very austere institute of the
Cistercian Order, of which he was destined to become the greatest ornament. He
also persuaded his brothers and several of his friends to follow his example. In
1113, St. Bernard, with thirty young noblemen, presented himself to the holy
Abbot, St. Stephen, at Citeaux. After a novitiate spent in great fervor, he made
his profession in the following year. His superior soon after, seeing the great
progress he had made in the spiritual life, sent him with twelve monks to found
a new monastery, which afterward became known as the celebrated Abbey of
Clairvaux. St. Bernard was at once appointed Abbot and began that active life
which has rendered him the most conspicuous figure in the history of the 12th
century. He founded numerous other monasteries, composed a number of works and
undertook many journeys for the honor of God. Several Bishoprics were offered
him, but he refused them all. The reputation of St. Bernard spread far and wide;
even the Popes were governed by his advice. He was commissioned by Pope Eugene
III to preach the second Crusade. In obedience to the Sovereign Pontiff he
traveled through France and Germany, and aroused the greatest enthusiasm for the
holy war among the masses of the population. The failure of the expedition
raised a great storm against the saint, but he attributed it to the sins of the
Crusaders. St. Bernard was eminently endowed with the gift of miracles. He died
on August 20, 1153. His feast day is August 20.
