God Entered Into My Soul: St. Bernhard

St. Bernhard writes: „ I confess, then, though I say it in my foolishness, that the Word has visited me, and even very often. But, though He has frequently entered into my soul, I have never at any time been sensible of the precise moment of His coming. I have felt that He was present, I remember that He has been with me; I have sometimes been able even to have a presentiment that He would come: but never to feel His coming nor His departure: For whence He came to enter my soul, or whither He went on quitting it, by what means He has made entrance or departure, I confess that I know not even to this day". (St. Bernard, "Cantica Canticorum ", Sermon Ixxiv) . (Graphic: feast of saint bernard « The Roman Catholic Church of St. Bernard of...
