A Forty-Day Retreat with Bonaventure, Francis, and Clare

Tomorrow morning I will finish The Journey into God by Josef Raischl, SFO and Andre' Cirino, OFM. The subtitle is "A Forty-Day Retreat with Bonaventure, Francis, and Clare." I have read it several times and each time it gets better and better. The Journey into God by Raischl and Cirino is a reflective commentary on The Journey of the Human Person into God, which was written by St. Bonaventure in the 13th Century. St. Bonaventure was the second founder of the Franciscan Movement. He was proclaimed a saint on April 14, 1482 and Seraphic Doctor on March 14, 1588.
