On Loving God

by 

Bernard of Clairvaux

    On Loving God is one of the best-known and most influential works of Medieval Christian mysticism. Written at the request of one of the cardinals of Rome, it describes the four “levels” of love for God, and puts Christian devotion in the context of God’s love for mankind.

    "We are to love God for Himself, because of a twofold reason; nothing is more reasonable, nothing more profitable."
