You Can’t Get There from Here: St. Bonaventure and the Journey to God - 16 lip 2025. In this powerful homily, we’re reminded that no matter how advanced our knowledge becomes, it is only through grace, prayer, and love that we can reach the ultimate goal of life: union with God. Drawing from the life and writings of St. Bonaventure, this reflection explores our spiritual journey, our longing for meaning, and the truth that we can't reach heaven on our own — we must be lifted.

We examine the leadership that he came to provide to his Franciscan order, which was divided into factions, one of which was also influenced by the heretical theories of Joachim of Fiore.

Journeying into God: St. Bonaventure's Road Map - 5 wrz 2020. In his 1259 book Itinerarium mentis in Deum, "The Soul's Journey into God," the Franciscan mystic St. Bonaventure (1221-1274) offers a road map for spiritual wayfarers. He argues that pilgrims seeking God can arrive at and enter into the Divine's "superluminous darkness" by following God's "footprints" in the material world and "simulacra" in our souls. God's presence as sheer Being, sheer Goodness, and Trinity is present everywhere we look - but only if we're aflame with love for Christ - shepherding us towards the intimate union with Him for which we long. Fr. Kerry Walters offers here an introduction to the Itinerarium - a guide to Bonaventure's sometimes puzzling road map.
Auch Technik läuft auf Gott hinaus. Der hl. Bonaventura zum Verhältnis von Technik und Theologie [Również technika prowadzi do Boga. Św. Bonawentura o związku między techniką a teologią] - Prof. P. Dr. Markus Schulze SAC - 5 maj 2020. Ten materiał analizuje traktat św. Bonawentury o „redukcji sztuk do teologii”, wykazując, że technika i rzemiosło stanowią drogę prowadzącą do Boga. Autor podkreśla, że średniowieczne pojęcie artis obejmuje szerokie spektrum ludzkiego działania – od rolnictwa po sztukę – które czerpie swe źródło z Bożego światła zewnętrznego. Współczesny kryzys relacji człowieka z technologią wynika z odrzucenia perspektywy objawienia, co prowadzi albo do destrukcyjnej pychy i chęci panowania nad bytem, albo do egzystencjalnej rozpaczy. Zgodnie z myślą Bonawentury, właściwe zrozumienie techniki wymaga analogicznego spojrzenia, które w procesie wytwarzania dostrzega odblask trynitarnego dynamizmu stwórczego. Ostatecznie tekst przekonuje, że tylko zakorzenienie ludzkiej pracy w duchowości pozwala uniknąć dehumanizacji i czyni z postępu technicznego narzędzie autentycznego rozwoju człowieka jako obrazu Boga.

A lecture by Timothy B. Noone (Catholic University of America) given on February 4, 2016 at the University of Chicago.
Presented by the Lumen Christi Institute, The Philosophy Department and the Medieval Studies Workshop at the University of Chicago. This lecture situates Bonaventure's thought on education, philosophy, and the sciences into the context of the thirteenth century's controversies regarding the place of philosophy in the universities and human life generally. While Bonaventure accepts the essential and irreplaceable role of philosophy and science in the progress of human knowledge and endorses the claim that they both perfect the human intellect, he insists that science and philosophy are in a hierarchy of knowledge that transcends them, culminating in the study of Sacred Scripture, theology, and mystical vision.
Timothy B. Noone is Ordinary Professor of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., is also Co-Director of the Scotus Project and President of the Society for Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy (video)
