It has been awhile....

Yes, it has been awhile. I have been busy.

I just finished a series of online courses on Franciscan spirituality through the University of St. Francis in Joliet, IL. The instructor was Sister Margaret Klotz, OSF. I enjoyed all four courses.

Beside taking the online courses, since January, I have been focusing on St. Bonaventure. His sermons on St. Francis and on Christ are awesome. They are so clear.

Right now, I am re-reading St. Bonaventure's The Life of St. Francis. Then I will re-read the Tree of Life. After that, I will re-read The Soul's Journey into God. This is the sequence recommended by Ewert Cousins, Emeritus Professor of Theology at Fordham University where he taught for forty years. His speciality is St. Bonaventure.

St. Bonaventure urges his readers to go slow and "mull things over." No point rushing. That is what I intend to do.
