About this episode

This episode explores the life and teachings of Saint Bernard de Clairvaux, focusing on his contributions to monastic reform and spirituality.

Join Dr. John Sehorn and Dr. Elizabeth Klein to learn about Saint Bernard de Clairvaux. Cousins, brothers, and even his own father joined him in the monastery where he lived a life of prayer and austerity. This monastic reformer and mystic have much to teach us about how to love God and, perhaps surprisingly, how to love ourselves. Dr. John Sehorn is the dean of the Augustine Institute Graduate School of Theology. Learn more at Augustine.edu. Watch Catholic Saints and other great content on Formed.
