Jul 15 – Homily – Fr Dominic: St. Bonaventure, the Second Founder

Homily #150715 ( 06min) Play - St. Bonaventure was the Minister General of the Franciscan Order and governed it with such great prudence as to be called its "second founder". A friend and colleague of St. Thomas Aquinas, he was a professor of theology at the University of Paris and was considered its greatest teacher. He wrote much, preached, and assisted the Pope at the Council of Lyons. This great bishop and cardinal was declared a Doctor of the Church, being called for his ardent love in his writings, the "Seraphic Doctor".
