By the help of God's holy grace, I purpose to present the Sermons which Saint Bernard preached upon the Canticle of Canticles, taken from the tome St. Bernard's Sermons on the Canticle of Canticles: Translated from the Original Latin by a Priest of Mount Melleray, (Vol. I.; Dublin: Browne and Nolan, Ltd., 1920).

May the tutelage of the Blessed Virgin Mary and of Saint Bernard avail these pages unto the increase of the theological virtues, together with the gifts of the Holy Ghost, in the souls of those who earnestly endeavor to serve our Lord Jesus and His Blessed Mother with pure and humble hearts, that with the light of the Doctor mellifluus they may understand with lively faith and esteem with ardent charity the breadth and the length, the height and the depth, of those hallowed Mysteries of our Faith that exceed all that created knowledge and effability can possibly offer to our minds (cf. Eph. ch. iii., 18, 19).
