Sermons for the Summer Season: Volume 53

by Bernard of Clairvaux, Beverly Mayne Kienzle (Translator), James Jarzembowski (Translator)

Overview

The always eloquent Bernard preaches on the joys and spiritual opportunities of summertime festivals: Rogation tide, Ascension Day, the Pentecost season, and the feasts of Saint John the Baptist and SS Peter and Paul. From a world still in touch with the seasons of nature and a lifestyle integrating prayer and physical work, he speaks to moderns with insight and calm sanity.
