[1010] Cp. St. Bernard, _De Laud. Virg._ i. 1 (_P.L._ clxxxiii. 56): "For if neither a leaf from a tree falls on the earth without cause, nor one of the sparrows without the heavenly Father, am I to suppose that a superfluous word flows from the mouth of the holy evangelist?" [1011] Matt. xii. 42. [1012] See _Life_, § 67. [1013] See _Life_, § 69. [1014] Gal. iv. 14 (inexact quotation). [1015] Cp. Eph. iv. 2. [1016] He was evidently in haste to resume his journey. And no wonder, for the winter was drawing near, and the sooner the passage of the Alps was made the better for his comfort and safety. Cp. _R.I.A._ xxxv. 248. "Alpine passes ... become impassable usually about the commencement or middle of October, and remain closed until May" (Sennett, _Great St. Bernard_, p. 369). [1017] Heb. xi. 40. [1018] See _Life_, § 71. [1019] Ps. xxi. 2. [1020] See _Life_, §§ 67, 71. [1021] The translation is supposed by Henriquez, _Fasciculus Sanctorum Ordinis Cisterciensis_, ii. 41. 6 (_P.L._ lxxxv. 1559) to have been made on All Saints' Day, the bones being reburied on All Souls' Day. But Vacandard (_R.Q.H._ lii. 41 f.) thinks that the date of the translation was Saturday, October 30. This event probably marked the end of the construction of the new monastery of Clairvaux, which began before Malachy's first visit. See p. 71, n. 4. [1022] Gal. ii. 9. [1023] Ps. lxxxvi. 17 (vg.). [1024] Matt. xii. 42. [1025] 2 Macc. iii. 32 (vg.). [1026] 1 Tim. ii. 8. [1027] Rom. x. 15. [1028] Cp. Luke vii. 38.--Perhaps a reference to St. Bernard's own action just before this sermon was preached. See p. 129, n. 6. [1029] Mal. ii. 7. [1030] Ps. xxxvii. 30. [1031] Ps. ci. 1. [1032] Jas. i. 15.
