St. Bernard of Clairvaux was born into nobility in 1090 and died at 63 in 1153.   He was of the castle of Fontaines near Dijon.  After the death of his mother, his desire to serve God led him into monastic life.  AA did not come up with the first 12 step program; St. Bernard listed 12 degrees (steps) to the mountain of pride and 12 steps to humility.   Today we will look at his 12 steps up the mountain of pride and the twelve steps down to humility.  I will paraphrase and attempt to apply these steps to my life and perhaps yours.
