L'abbé de Clairvaux (1090-1153) pense-t-il la liberté humaine d'un point de vue métaphysique, comme un pouvoir indéterminé de dire oui ou non au principe de l'être ? S'il en était ainsi, la grâce ne serait pas nécessaire au bon usage du libre arbitre, et les affirmations de la lettre aux Romains sur l'impossibilité d'une justification par les oeuvres perdraient leur pertinence. Aussi, tenant les divines Écritures pour l'insurpassable attestation du oui toujours plus grand que Dieu prononce en faveur de l'homme quand Il relève Jésus d'entre les morts, croyant que cet Événement attire tous les chemins des hommes au-delà de ce qu'ils peuvent imaginer, saint Bernard avance-t-il vers l'indicible accord de la grâce et de la liberté dans la prière pour que déborde à l'intime des coeurs la force de la Résurrection. N'oubliant pas que l'Évangile est l'annonce conjointe de la grâce de Dieu et de la liberté de l'homme, il mène sa recherche selon l'espérance de la Cité de Dieu. Et, s'il distingue libre arbitre, libre conseil et libre bon plaisir, c'est pour mieux admirer comment les dons de Dieu sont « sans repentance » (Rm 11, 29), comment la Charité donne la charité.

Did the Abbé de Clairvaux (1090-1153) consider freedom from a metaphysical point of view, as an indeterminate power to say yes or no to the principle of being? If this were the case, grace would not be necessary to make good use of our free will, and the statements in the Letter to the Romans on the impossibility to justify through works would lose their significance. Holding the divine scriptures to be the unsurpassable testimony of the ever-increasing yes that God pronounces in man's favour when he makes Jesus rise up from the dead believing that this Event will attract all men's paths beyond their imagination Saint Bernard moves toward the inexpressible harmony of grace and freedom, while praying that the strength of the Resurrection will overflow into the depths of men's hearts. Not forgetting that the Gospels are the combined proclamation of God's grace and man's freedom, he carries on his investigation in hope of the City of God. And if he perceives free will, free opinion and free pleasure, it is all the better to admire how the gifts of God are « without repentance », (Romans 11, 29), how Charity engenders charity.
