For in Christ, the source of all blessings, the soul can taste – primarily by his conversion to God, then by the forgiveness of sins, then by a multiple sequence of experiences of the grace of God instead of anger – that we are the children of God.

All of the favours the soul possesses uniquely from our Lord Jesus Christ. For He is our Mediator, our Wisdom, and without Him, the wisest of human beings is a fool (1 Corinthians 1:25).

William of St Thierry, ‘The Nature and Dignity of Love’ (c. 1120) in Bernard of Clairvaux, The Love of God and Spiritual Friendship, ed. James M. Houston (Basingstoke: Pickering & Inglis, 1983), pp 94-95.

Have a safe and happy New Year folks.
