Beloved St. Padre Pio!

St. Francis of Assisi Quote

Franciscan Friar's Homily for today's feast of St. Bonaventure

The "second founder" of the Franciscans, St. Bonaventure led the ever growing order with great holiness and profound prudence. He became bishop, cardinal, and was declared a saint and doctor of the Church. He stressed not only the importance of learning with the intellect, but of loving with the heart, and so gained the title of the "Seraphic Doctor". Ave Maria!
