St. Bernard, Abbot and Doctor

“For when God loves, all He desires is to be loved in return;St BernardClairvaux1 the sole purpose of His love is to be loved in the knowledge that those who love Him are made happy by their love of Him.”

                                                               -St. Bernard

 

For Reflection: 

According to St. Bernard, what is it that makes us happy? Conversely, then, what would make us unhappy? How, then, can I encourage my own happiness and what one thing can I do today to advance in this way?
