Quote/s of the Day – 15 July – Fifteenth Sunday of the Year – the Memorial of St Bonaventure (1221-1274) – Seraphic Doctor
“God might have created a more beautiful world;
He might have made heaven more glorious;
but it was impossible for Him to exalt a creature
higher than Mary in making her His Mother.”
“When we pray,
the voice of the heart
must be heard,
more than that,
proceeding from
the mouth.”
“Although you feel tepid,
approach with confidence,
for the greater your infirmity,
the more you stand in need of a physician.”
“Every creature is a divine word
because it proclaims God.”
“Christ has something in common with all creatures.
With the stone He shares existence,
with the plants He shares life,
with the animals He shares sensation
and with the angels He shares intelligence.
Thus all things are transformed in Christ
since in the fullness of His nature,
He embraces some part of every creature.”
