Saint Bernard had more visibility, eloquence, and influence in his church and country than anyone of his day. The more he withdrew from secular affairs, the more kings, popes and bishops sought him. He was loved, hated, and the man of the twelfth century.Bernard of Clairvaux is the eloquent and de- votional doctor of the church. No other doctor or saint influenced more of his own family, friends, and relatives to join him in the service of God in religion than this humble monk. His charisma and holiness made him most noticeable and in demand by both church and country. This holy priest and abbot efforts in the Crusades were a dismal failure from one aspect to make it known that might nev- er makes right. His dedication especially to the Mother of God, St Mary, are well known and he is considered the last of the Fathers of the Church and a great Marian Doctor.
God used Bernard to light a spiritual fire. The Almighty has demonstrated throughout history that sincere prayer, dedication and devotion to noble causes will usher in amazing results even to this very day. Through this particular doctor of the church, God showed us that there was a divine power, force and gift behind Bernard. Great betterment for humankind can be achieved by each individual with divine influence and the power of God’s holiness, the Holy Spirit, as one’s Partner. God awaits us to do our part to effect similar and even greater results. With faith in the infinite One there is nothing that anyone can not achieve. All of us have special gifts for others to share according to the wisdom and providence of God. By Bernard’s unique gift of eloquence, the church and its members benefited tremendously in the 12th century. He was for France and the church, the man of the centu- ry and the man who could do no wrong and would do everything wonderfully. Bernard’s eloquence was hardly his only talent. Yet for all his exceptional ability to articulate and motivate others toward God through his fluent and forceful words, his contributions in the Second Crusade were a military and dismal failure. This defeat was so devastating that it most likely hastened his death.
St Bernard is also considered the Devotional Doctor because of the magnetic attraction many re- ceived due to his influence. He had great devotion to Jesus Christ crucified and his mother, Mary. This spiritual gift helped him bear all of his mistakes, failures and disappointments with charity and confidence. His famous prayer to Mary – the Memorare – is perhaps used more frequently than any other Marian prayer, beside the Hail Mary, than anywhere throughout the world. He inspired great devotion to the Mother of God. His writings on Mary have helped set the standard for the theology about Mary and those who study, write and focus on Mariology. Bernard spoke most eloquently about the things of God but none more eloquently than St Mary, the Mother of the Lord. The saint was a scripture scholar and a great theologian. His commentaries and books on the bible are most devotional and moving. Although he was called away from the world, he accepted his return to the world when obedience to the church required it. However, he also longed for aloneness with God in prayer in silence far from the distractions of the world. He saw no contradictions by God pulling him one direction one day and another direction the next.
