Bernard: His gifts

Friday, October 19, 2012
    Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812
Meditation:
    For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
    —1 Corinthians 15:21 (NIV)
Quotation:
    By his first work He gave me to myself; and by the next He gave Himself to me. And when He gave Himself, He gave me back myself that I had lost.
    ... Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153), On Loving God, CCEL, ch. 5 (see the book)
