Homily for the Memorial of Saint Bonaventure, Bishop and Doctor of the Church

Just as St. Bonaventure dedicated his life to God and His Church out of his love for Him, therefore all of us should also remember all the love and kindness that God has shown us, and do our very best to show that same love in our lives, in how we remain firmly faithful in God and in our exemplary living, and in loving one another, in the same way, that we love ourselves and God, and not to harden our hearts against Him as the Pharisees and others had done in the past.
