SUMMARY:Vigils Reading
DESCRIPTION:CONCERNING FOUR WAYS \nOF LOVE \nBy St Bernard of Clairvaux \n◊◊◊ \nThere are two loves\, carnal and spiritual\, from which four ways of loving \nare derived: to love the flesh carnally\, love the spirit carnally\, love the flesh \nspiritually\, and love the spirit spiritually. A certain progress and ascent from \nthe lower to the higher occurs in these. For God was made flesh in order for \nhuman beings to make progress\, so that humans (who had only known how to \nlove the flesh carnally) could also love God spiritually. By speaking and keeping \ncompany with human beings\, God made himself first loved carnally by them. \nMoreover\, when he was willing to lay down his life for his friends\, they \nwere already loving the spirit\, but still in a carnal way. So even Peter responded \nthus to Christ when he spoke about his passion: Far be it from you! Look out \nfor yourself! But when they recognized that through the same passion the \nmystery of redemption takes place\, then in that passion they were already loving \nthe flesh spiritually. When\, however\, he rises again and ascends\, they love the \nspirit spiritually\, and joyfully they sing: And if we have known Christ \naccording to the flesh\, now we know him so no longer. \nWe also love our flesh carnally when we carry out its desires; the spirit \ncarnally with weeping\, sighing and grieving in prayer; the flesh with good deeds\, \nwe watch over it with discretion. [We love] the spirit spiritually when out of \ncharity we postpone even our spiritual pursuits for fraternal benefit.
