Francis and his spiritual companion Clare are lights in the world, illuminating not only Bonaventure’s path, but also showing the way to wholeness for us.

Bonaventure walks in the footsteps of Francis just as Francis walked in the footsteps of Jesus.

Despite their differences, Francis and Bonaventure shared a love of God and a common vision of Christ as the center of creation and goal of spiritual maturity.

Light is at the heart of Bonaventure’s spiritual vision. Bonaventure’s God is a fountain of love and light.

When did “God” become more than a word to you? When, even for just a moment, did you glimpse the meaning of your life?

Social activist and mystic Dorothy Day said, “I speak to people as if they are angels.” Day saw the holiness in everyone she met, especially those whom society views as nobodies as a result of their poverty and houselessness.

St. Bonaventure described God as an ever-flowing fountain of love giving life to all things and inspiration to humankind.
