On Holiness of Life - St Bonaventure

On Holiness of Life - St Bonaventure

Author: SGZ November 24, 2021 Duration: 1:17:23
St. Bonaventure, the Seraphic Doctor, and also called the “Second Founder” of the Fransican order offers this brief work on the way of holiness. Written at the request and for Blessed Isabella a Poor Clare and friend of Bonaventure (who was the sister of St. Louis King of France) it is a brief, but complete treatise on ascetical and mystical theology.  Wit and charm abound in the work, such is the chapter where Bonaventure discusses chattering nuns and so is the seriousness of devotion in the Chapters on the passion of Christ.  Most notably is how down to earth the work is, both in being comprehensible and practical which makes it excellent reading for both religious and laity.
