“Be a searching inquirer
into your own integrity of life;
examine your conduct everyday.
See how much you have advanced,
or, how much you have fallen back …
Learn to know yourself. …
Place all your faults before your eyes.
Stand before yourself,
as if it were before someone else
and you will find reason to weep over yourself!”
(Meditat Cap 5 de quotidiano sui ipsius examine).
St Bernard (1090-1153)
Father & Mellifluous Doctor
“Experience has proven that anyone
who makes a strict examination
of his thoughts, words and actions,
is more firmly resolved to hate
and avoid that which is evil
and wholeheartedly to love
that which is good.”
