The 4 Stages of Love: How We Grow Closer to God | Daily Homily August 20, 2026
Fr. Luke Mary Fletcher, CFR explains the four stages of love taught by St. Bernard of Clairvaux and how God gradually purifies our hearts. We begin by loving ourselves for our own sake, then learn to love God for our own sake, love God for His sake, and finally love ourselves for God’s sake. Through this journey, we come to understand Christianity as a deep relationship of love between God and us.
