Bernard of clair, immediate faith

[billcu1]

What exactly did St. Bernard teach when it came to “immediate faith” through the Blessed Virgin? If anyone knows of any texts that would be great. I hope this is the right forum.

Are there any other texts he wrote? He is I guess a Dr. of the church.

Office of readings? You mean the liturgy of the hours?

Yes.

Today was one of his readings in the two-year monastic lectionary. He appears rather more often in the Monastic lectionary but does also appear in the 1-year lectionary in the LOTH.

His readings are wonderful, well worth the detour.

I know of www.divineoffice.org is that not the monastic one? This idea of faith through Mary sounds interesting.
