About this listen

In St. Bonaventures Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the author humbly acknowledges his limitations while passionately inviting readers to engage in one of the most enriching spiritual practices the contemplation of Christs life. He believes that through regular meditation on this divine subject, even those who feel uneducated can develop a deep familiarity, confidence, and love for God, gaining insight into His most profound mysteries. Bonaventure eloquently argues that this practice serves to shield us from the fleeting distractions of the world, steadies us amid trials, and helps cultivate virtue while steering clear of vice. Written in straightforward language, he aims to make the material accessible so that listeners can focus on enriching their minds and hearts rather than merely pleasing their ears. With diligent practice, he assures us that the Lord, whose life is the focus of this work, will become our ultimate guide and teacher. - Summary by ekortright
