St. Bernard of Clairvaux Novena Day 1 – Discerning Heart Catholic Podcast

Day 1 St. Bernard you have said: “Neither fear nor self-interest can convert the soul. They may change the appearance, perhaps even the conduct, but never the object of supreme desire... Fear is the motive which constrains the slave; greed binds the selfish man, by which he is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed (James 1:14). But neither fear nor self-interest is undefiled, nor can they convert the soul. Only charity can convert the soul, freeing it from unworthy motives.” The post St. Bernard of Clairvaux Novena Day 1 – Discerning Heart Catholic Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
