St. Bernard is rightly hailed as Doctor mellifluus, amicus Sponsi, Virginis Matris præco mirificus, "the Mellifluous Doctor, the friend of the Spouse, the marvelous herald of the Virgin Mother," as the Breviarium Monasticuм acclaims him (20 August, ant. ad Benedictus).

I shall endeavor, by God's holy grace, to bring you some Sermons he preached during Paschaltide, hoping that the celestial wisdom of St. Bernard will help your endeavor to cultivate of the interior life, so that you may attain to the end thereof, which is the beatific and everlasting happiness of Heaven: the prelude of which are the joys wherewith Holy Mother Church and her children exult in holy jubilation during Paschaltide.
