Taught by one of the leading experts on Franciscan spirituality, this is the course on St. Bonaventure that you have always wanted.
In the fall of 1259, the Franciscan theologian St. Bonaventure traveled from his home in Paris to the mountain of La Verna in Tuscany for a retreat. There, he meditated on the experience St. Francis had on that same mountain, where he experienced a profound vision and the stigmata.
On his retreat, Bonaventure discovered that St. Francis was a model for how a person comes to union with God in prayer. The result of this insight was the outline of a book that soon became a classic of Catholic spiritual reading: The Soul’s Journey into God. Now you too can discover the inspiring model of St. Francis as outlined by St. Bonaventure.
Bonaventure talks about this spiritual journey as taking place in six steps, like the six days of creation. On each step of the journey he explores a new dimension of our relationship with God. Bonaventure presents us with a mystical theology, leading us st

Having only heard of the basketball team at St. Bonaventure, I purchased this program because it was presented by Brother William Short. In short, this program is excellent in bringing one closer to the Lord.

Although a Benedictine at heart, I studied at St. Bonaventure Univ. and have a great affection for him and his writings. It is an emphasis that is timely and truly rewarding. I enjoyed the video CD’s and hope they reach others as well.

2015 Spring Survey
I am a 64 year old housewife with a Catholic school education, yet very little college to my credit. Still, while preparing for a Junior High catechism class this year, I came across a prayer in an old missal of mine attributed to St Bonaventure, and developed an interest in reading his work and learning more about Franciscan spirituality. First, it was quite a daunting task to find much written by Bonaventure – and then, when I did, I knew I needed help. I turned to you, and Brother William has been an instructive and supportive companion on my own journey with Bonaventure. I can’t thank you enough. He’s led me to the Augustine course I’m studying now, and who knows where else I’ll end up? Origin? Anselm? I only wish I had the proper credentials so that I could enroll at the School of Theology – it’s only an hour or so away from my house!

St. Bonaventure’s, “The Souls Journey into God”, is one of my favorite spiritual readings, and Fr. Bill Short’s commentary brings it alive. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Franciscan mystical spirituality.

I love theology, but it has to be at an easy to understand level, the program on Bonaventure was just that.
