Stephen Harding
"Stephen Harding, the third abbot of Citeaux, is also an elusive historical figure. English by birth and a monk of Sherborne Abbey before the Norman Conquest, he journeyed to France and Rome before reentering monastic life at Molesme, only to leave with the founders of the New Monastery at Citeaux. From 1108 to 1133, the period of the first Cistercian expansion, he served as abbot and, some say, the formative genius behind the Cistercian Order. In this slender volume, Claudio Stercal gathers together all the documents that can with certainty be attributed to Stephen Harding and, by using them, creates a biography and then analyzes each in turn.'This is not a definitive study,' he writes,'but a collection of "working material'" which he presents in the hope of spurring further research on one of the most significant figures of the first decades of Cistercian history."--BOOK JACKET.

Life of St. Stephen Harding
Excerpt from Life of St. Stephen Harding: Abbot of Citeaux and Founder of the Cistercian Order Holy men of old who have written the lives of Saints, universally begin by professing their unworthiness to be the historians of the marvellous deeds which the Holy Spirit has wrought in the Church.

We have much that is amiable and domestic amongst us, but Saints, the genuine creation of the cross, with their supernatural virtues, are now to us a matter of history. Nay, we cannot give up all for Christ, if we would; and while...
