Quote of the Day (St. Bernard of Clairvaux, on Grace and Free Will)


"Grace is necessary to salvation, free will is equally so; but grace in order to give salvation, free will in order to receive it.” —St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) quoted in Rev. Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange (1877-1964), Christian Perfection and Contemplation (1937)
