Pax et Bonum! I will begin again with the help of God and intercession of St. Bonaventure. Blessings.

Pax et Bonum! Advent is the time to begin again, so with my brother Bonaventure I will. God bless!

Interea

Pax et Bonum! With God's grace I will begin again, and someone may actually read this. My inspiration was a retreat on Bonaventure's great work, Itinerarium Mentis in Deum, given by Andre Cirino OFM and Joseph Raischl, OFS. It was a graced retreat and reminded me why I love Bonaventure and his Franciscan approach to theology, prayer, and the life of grace. So, may he help me glorify God in some small way...

Holy Thursday

"Therefore, if I, the Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash the feet of one another." He did this...so that he might be imitated. For he performed miracles which is something we cannot imitate,..He also performed works of humility to be imitated.
--Commentary on John XIII.18 (Karris, Works of St. Bonaventure XI, p. 695)

Verbum Abbreviatum

"So, too, all the words of Scripture have been abbreviated in this Word, namely in the Word who was born, has suffered, has been buried, and has been raised." (Commentary on the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 24)
