This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Till the days of this "Second Founder of the Franciscan Order," the simplicity of our Holy Father Saint Francis had been the salient feature of his institute: no successful effort had hitherto been made to organize the growing Order unto the full measure of its efficiency. Speaking generally, everything so far had been left to individual initiative, and the keynote of those early days is struck in the liberty enjoyed by the individual - a liberty which, though charming to contemplate and of irresistible appeal to a democratic age, is yet incompatible with the distinctive work a corporate body must perforce fulfil if its deeds are to justify its existence. To effect this purpose a certain amount of that rigid uniformity attendant on all organization was imperatively demanded. Under the influence of Saint Bonaventure this was successfully accomplished. Among the many elements that entered into this process of development we must, perhaps, assign the most conspicuous place to the systematic pursuit of learning which our Saint engrafted on Saint Francis' ideal of contemplation and zeal, and which, under the guidance of God's Providence, has been destined to render the Franciscan Order an effective force in dealing with the world's most vital problems. Together with this pursuit of learning came the introduction into the Order of a uniform exterior observance; an observance inculcated and fostered by a systematized code of Constitutions and ordinances which remain substantially the same to-day as when first framed centuries ago. The life of Saint Bonaventure may, accordingly, be considered as the ideal to which the modern Franciscan tends: an ideal in which the simplicity of Saint Francis is blended with a thorough grasp of the latest developments in scientific thought: in which personal holiness, because cognizant of self-weakness, is large-hearted and generous in its sympathy with others: in which the multitudinous details of active and administrative life are raised by a strong interior spirit from what might be a fertile source of distraction into a means of closer union with God. - by Osmund Cooney, O.F.M.

Book excerpt: THE life of Saint Bonaventure, the "Seraphic Doctor," is now appropriately presented to the public as the first of the Franciscan lives in this "Series of the Lives of the Friar Saints." Till the days of this" Second Founder of the Franciscan Order," the simplicity of our Holy Father St. Francis had been the salient feature of his institute: no successful effort had hitherto been made to organize the growing Order unto the full measure of its efficiency. Speaking generally, everything so far had been left to individual initiative, and the keynote of those early days is struck in the liberty enjoyed by the individual-a liberty which, though charming to contemplate and of irresistible appeal to a democratic age, is yet incompatible with the distinctive work a corporate body must perforce fulfil if its deeds are to justify its existence. To effect this purpose a certain amount of that rigid uniformity attendant on all organization was imperatively demanded. Under the influence of St. Bonaventure this was successfully accomplished. Among the many elements that entered into this process of development we must, perhaps, assign the most conspicuous place to the systematic pursuit of learning which our Saint engrafted on St. Francis' ideal of contemplation and zeal, and which, under the guidance of God's Providence, has been destined to render the Franciscan Order an effective force in dealing with the world's most vital problems. Together with this pursuit of learning came the introduction into the Order of a uniform exterior observance; an observance inculcated and fostered by a systematized code of Constitutions and ordinances which remain substantially the same to-day as when first framed centuries ago. The life of St. Bonaventure may, accordingly, be considered as the ideal to which the modern Franciscan tends: an ideal in which the simp1icity of St. Francis is blended with a thorough grasp of the latest developments in scientific thought: in which personal holiness, because cognizant of self-weakness, is large hearted and generous in its sympathy with others: in which the multitudinous details of active and administrative life are raised by a strong interior spirit from what might be a fertile source of distraction into a means of closer union with God. We have now but to add that the following pages on the life-work of St. Bonaventure, written by the late Fr. Laurence Costelloe, O.F.M., are based on the critical life of the Seraphic Doctor contained in the tenth volume of his works (Quaracchi, 1902). At the request of his superiors he intended to revise and publish his work, but sudden death frustrated his design. This revision has now been undertaken by the Rev. Fr. Leo, O. F. M., who has verified the sources, and introduced such changes as were demanded by the prescribed length of this work.

Download or read book The Works of Bonaventure written by St. Bonaventure and published by Quick Time Press. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of Bonaventure is a collection of writings by the Middle Ages Cardinal and Saint Bonaventure. This particular compilation, the Mystical Opuscula, is a collection of five of Bonaventure's most respected works dealing with topics of theology like the individual's journey toward God, prayer, meditation, the life and Passion of Christ, and the life of piety and faith. Not much is known about "the Prince of Mystics'" early life. He was born Giovanni di Fidanza in 1221 near Vitero, Italy, and first entered the Franciscan Order in 1243. Bonaventure undertook his education at the University of Paris and stayed to teach theology for the next 12 years. At the age of 36, Bonaventure was elected the Minister General of the Friars Minor, an office he held for many years. In 1271, he was instrumental in securing the election of Pope Gregory X. The new pope then appointed Bonaventure as Cardinal-Bishop of Albano. He wrote extensively, drafting over 20 works of philosophy and theology. His interpretation of scripture is often heavily symbolic, but he never shied away from the pain and cruelty inflicted upon Christ. The Passion was one of the most visited topics in Bonaventure's writing. He found the suffering of Christ to be the most important event in history, the greatest proof of God's love for humanity. Among his many writings include the five works published here in the Mystical Opuscula ● The Journey of the Mind to God ● The Triple Way, or Love Enkindled ● The Tree of Life ● The Mystical Vine ● On the Perfection of Life, Addressed to Sisters The Journey of the Mind to God, often considered one of his masterpieces, describes the six steps man should take to contemplate God, beginning with acknowledging God through his creation and finishing with considering the Holy Trinity. After dedicating oneself to the six ways of thought, the result will be peace and repose - a quiet mind and a soul risen toward God. The Triple Way, or Love Enkindled explains how meditation, prayer, and contemplation can lead to purification, illumination, and unity with God. The Tree of Life is a meditation on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. It takes the form of 12 "fruits" born on the Tree of Life in the paradisiacal Garden of Eden. The fruits on the bottom four branches concern the origins and life of the man, Jesus. The next four branches describe the Passion, and the top four describe the glories of His resurrection and ascension. The Mystical Vine: Treatise on the Passion of the Lord explores the symbol of the vine as Christ himself. The pruning, tying, and flowering of the vine are all used as metaphors for the events of the life and Passion of Christ, and the leaves of the vine are symbols for His words upon the cross. On the Perfection of Life, Addressed to Sisters was written at the request of St. Isabelle of France, the sister of King Louis IX. The work is subtitled "An outline of spiritual progress," and describes the life of humility, poverty, silence, prayer, and perfect love for God that the brides of Christ should live to be close to Him. Over 200 years after his death, Bonaventure was canonized Saint Bonaventure by Pope Sixtus IV. He is still considered one of the greatest thinkers and writers of the Middle Ages, and his work remains essential reading for any student of theology or philosophy.
