Although written primarily for women living in Religion, St. Bonaventure s treatise on Holiness of Life (De Perfectione Vitae ad Sorores) will strongly appeal to every Catholic heart. Its value as a manual of spiritual reading, at once elevating, inspiriting and practical, can hardly be over-estimated. It opens an easy way to a sound and profitable self-knowledge; it wins the soul to Christian humility, and to an unworldliness which is the secret of a contented and joyful heart; it teaches a method of contemplation on the Passion of Our Lord, full of devout attractiveness; it reveals the secret of fruitful and heartfelt prayer. In a word it treats of the great and permanent things in spiritual life and practice, and does this with such living fervour that it sets our hearts on fire. There are no gloomy spaces darkened by the shadow of that Calvinism that was to come; no hard lines of rigour to remind us of Jansenism. Everywhere we find the cheerful seriousness of Catholicism, the reflection of the soul of a saint who lived in the bright and spacious days of that glorious and supremely Catholic century, the Thirteenth. To those acquainted with the life of St. Bonaventure his very name will be a sufficient recommendation of the treatise now translated. John Gerson, the learned and pious Chancellor of the University of Paris, who has been reputed by many to be the author of the Imitation of Christ, set the highest value on the writings of St. Bonaventure. He regarded Bonaventure as the most perfect of the University teachers. He did not know if the University had ever produced his equal. He applied to him the words of Our Lord concerning St. John the Baptist, "He was a burning and a shining light." Therefore he compared him to Cherub and to Seraph to Cherub, for the brightness of his intellect, to Seraph, for the burning fire of his heart. He had not found any teaching more elevating and salutary than his. He admired him for keeping clear of curious and useless questions, and for being solid, safe and devout in all he said. To the testimony of one who knew St. Bonaventure in his writings, it will be interesting to add the testimony of one who knew him also in life. This was Peter of Tarentaise. He was a Dominican, and had been professor in the University of Paris, where he won the title of Doctor Famosissimus. He became successively Archbishop of Lyons, Cardinal Bishop of Ostia, and Supreme Pontiff. He is beatified, and known as Blessed Innocent V. While yet Cardinal Bishop of Ostia, he had taken together with St. Bonaventure a prominent part in the Council of Lyons. St. Bonaventure died before the Council had concluded, and when Pope and Council attended the funeral service in the Franciscan Church in Lyons, Peter of Tarentaise preached the funeral sermon. His feeling towards Bonaventure is shown in his choice of text; for he chose those tender and touching words with which David had lamented the death of his friend Jonathan. All who listened to his discourse would have approved the description of Bonaventure as one who was always gentle, affable, humble, pleasing to all, so that all who knew him held him in high esteem, and had great affection for him. St. Bonaventure s writings reflect his character. Like the Saint, himself in life, they have a magnetic power which draws the heart to a desire of higher things. They conquer, not by force of eloquent language, but by the persuasive attractiveness of a calm and beautiful spirit. The transparent humility of a great soul puts to shame all the vanity of our littleness. His thought glows frequently with mystic splendour, which warms and inspires. The treatise on Holiness of Life is written in an easy and familiar style. It is like a friendly talk. The mysticism is subdued; and there is not wanting, as in the section on silence, an element of keen observation and humorous sarcasm.

There are very few books written to advise religious superiors how to conduct themselves. Saint Bonaventure answers this problem with one of the best books on the subject of directing religious towards sanctification, while taking care of the practical matters of a community. This book is also useful for Bishops and rectors of seminaries, indeed anyone who has an office in the Church, which includes the direction of souls. St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!" We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.

Mirror of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Psalter of Our Lady. This is two books combined into one by Saint Bonaventure. Saint Bonaventure begins with a discussion of the Hail Mary and continues to extol the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary, her holy name, how Mary has nine privileges symbolized by the nine choirs of angels. How Mary has the seven capital virtues to oppose the seven capital sins, and much more. In the Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary Saint Bonaventure paraphrases the 150 Psalms In honor of the Blessed Virgin to which are added canticles in her honor. "Whoever wishes to be saved must hold a firm faith in Mary, which unless anyone shall keep whole and inviolate without doubt shall perish forever." Saint Bonaventure says to us. In this canticle he presents the doctrines of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which we must believe to be truly Christian!

Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7).

From the pulpit of the cross, Christ gave His final and most riveting sermon: His seven last words. In times past, Christ frequently spoke in parables, but no more. No, Christ penned these words with His royal blood like a calligrapher using the most delicate of strokes. Christʼs seven last words are the greatest utterances ever recorded in the history of the world--greater than the words of any esteemed orator, heroic leader, or even saint, because they were the last words of God to mankind. They are the "mystical compendium of the entire Gospel," the perfection of the Beatitudes. Yes, Christ saved the best for last, just like at the wedding feast of Cana--only this time, it was the blood and water from His side that were offered freely to His own bride, the Church. In this engrossing work, the seraphic doctor, Saint Bonaventure, and Arnold of Bonneval, a Benedictine abbot, offer some of the most profound insights into the seven last words of Christ. Arnold, a friend of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, is believed to be the first person to write on the seven last words, inspiring Bonaventure. While the seven last words have been glossed over for centuries by Christians, it is now time to uncover their hidden and powerful meaning--for there is no greater meditation than pondering the Teacher's last lecture. In Christ's seven last words, we find the necessary direction to reach the heights of perfection.
