Author: St Bernard Of Clairvaux / Year: 1090-1153 / Genre: ReligonAbbot; Confessor; Doctor of the Church. In all history no other man so dominated his times and influenced its people.
He prophesied; cast out devils; worked miracles; destroyed heresy; single-handedly healed a schism; launched a crusade;
advised popes; guided councils; ended a pogrom; accomplished every mission given him--yet was always sickly; took
no joy in the world or pride in his successes; and ever longed to return to his cell. A story to make you weep.
