Quote/s of the Day – 15 July – The Memorial of St Bonaventure (1221-1274) Doctor of the Church
“Bonaventure so united holiness and theological knowledge that he rose to the heights of mysticism, while remaining a very active preacher and teacher, one beloved by all who met him. To know him was to love him; to read him is still for us today to meet a true Franciscan and a gentleman.”
“If you learn everything, except Christ, you learn nothing.
If you learn nothing, except Christ, you learn everything.”
“When we pray,
the voice of the heart must be heard,
more than the proceedings,
from the mouth.”
“Men do not fear a powerful hostile army,
as the powers of hell,
fear the name and protection of Mary.”
“If you do not know
your own dignity and condition,
you cannot value anything
at its proper worth.”
“In everything,
whether it is a thing sensed,
or a thing known,
God Himself is hidden within.”
St Bonaventure (1221-1274)
Seraphic Doctor of the Church
