  • Bonaventure As Minister General Dominic V. Monti on 2 February
    BONAVENTURE AS MINISTER GENERAL Dominic V. Monti On 2 February 1257, at a chapter of the Order of Friars Minor held in Rome, Bonaventure of Bagnoregio was unanimously elected its minister general. This was at the suggestion of his predecessor, John of Parma. Bonaven- ture would then not hand over the reins of government until June 1274, at a chapter held in conjunction with the Second Council of Lyons. In the interim, he had presided over five other general chapters, which had endorsed his leadership and renewed his mandate. His seventeen-year term of office was far longer than any of his predecessors or any of his successors for more than a century. It was not simply the sheer length of Bonaventure’s tenure, however, that made it significant: it was the fact that it occurred at a critical juncture in Franciscan history, as the Lesser Brothers were struggling to formulate a clear self-understanding of their role in church and society.1 As minister general, Bonaventure played a truly singular role in this process: his policies and writings did much to define an identity for his brotherhood that would stamp it decisively for generations.2 1 For a general introduction to and translation of Bonaventure’s writings as general minister, see Dominic V. Monti, Writings Concerning the Franciscan Order (Works of St Bonaventure) 5 (Saint Bonaventure: 1994), and Opuscoli Francescani, intro. Luigi Pel- legrini (Opere di San Bonaventura) 1 (Rome: 1993). Treatments in general histories of the Order include John Moorman, A History of The Franciscan Order: from its Origins to the Year 1517 (Oxford: 1968), 140–155; Grado Giovanni Merlo, In the Name of St Francis, trans.

  • Bl. John of Parma Feast: March 20
    Bl. John of Parma Feast: March 20 Facts Feast Day: March 20 John Buralli, the seventh minister general of the Franciscans, was born at Parma in the year 1209, and he was already teaching logic there when at the age of twenty-five, he joined the Franciscans. He was sent to Paris to study and, after he had been ordained, to teach and preach in Bologna, Naples and Rome. He preached so well that crowds of people came to hear his sermons, even very important persons flocked to hear him. In the year 1247, John was chosen Minister General of the Order of Franciscans. He had a very difficult task because the members of his community were not living up to their duties, due to the poor leadership of Brother Elias. Brother Salimbene, a fellow townsman who worked closely with John, kept an accurate record of Johns activities. From this record, we learn that John was strong and robust, so that he was always kind and pleasant no matter how tired he was. He was the first among the Ministers General to visit the whole Order, and he traveled always on foot. He was so humble that when he visited the different houses of the Order, he would often help the Brother wash vegetables in the kitchen. He loved silence so that he could think of God and he never spoke an idle word. When he began visiting the various houses of his Order, he went to England first. When King Henry III heard that John came to see him, the King went out to meet him and embraced the humble Friar.

  • Bl. John of Parma Catholic.Net
    Bl. John of Parma Catholic.net John Buralli, the seventh minister general of the Franciscans, was born at Parma in the year 1209, and he was already teaching logic there when at the age of twenty-five, he joined the Franciscans. He was sent to Paris to study and, after he had been ordained, to teach and preach in Bologna, Naples and Rome. He preached so well that crowds of people came to hear his sermons, even very important persons flocked to hear him. In the year 1247, John was chosen Minister General of the Order of Franciscans. He had a very difficult task because the members of his community were not living up to their duties, due to the poor leadership of Brother Elias. Brother Salimbene, a fellow townsman who worked closely with John, kept an accurate record of Johns activities. From this record, we learn that John was strong and robust, so that he was always kind and pleasant no matter how tired he was. He was the first among the Ministers General to visit the whole Order, and he traveled always on foot. He was so humble that when he visited the different houses of the Order, he would often help the Brother wash vegetables in the kitchen. He loved silence so that he could think of God and he never spoke an idle word. When he began visiting the various houses of his Order, he went to England first. When King Henry III heard that John came to see him, the King went out to meet him and embraced the humble Friar.

His life, begun in 1221, five years before the death of Francis of Assisi and ended, probably, about 1288, thirteen years after the birth of Dante, connects the mystical, devotional, ascetic piety of the Middle Ages with the rational, individualistic, personal attitude of the modern mind. A devoted member of the Franciscan Order and acutely sensitive to its historic sig- nificance, he spends his life in its manifold activities, and toward the close sets himself to the congenial task of put- ting down in order the most vivid impressions remaining to him of the men and things he has had dealings with. The result is the famous Chronicle, now for the first time presented to the learned world in an edition worthy of the best traditions of modern editorial thoroughness and exactness.1 It was a fortunate chance that brought the work of this Italian, concerned almost entirely with the affairs of his own country and his own Order, within the scope of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica and thus into the trained hands of the late Professor Oswald Holder-Egger.

  • St. Bonaventure Catholic.Net
    St. Bonaventure Catholic.net Doctor of the Church, Cardinal-Bishop of Albano, Minister General of the Friars Minor, born at Bagnorea in the vicinity of Viterbo in 1221; died at Lyons, 16 July, 1274. Nothing is known of Bonaventure's parents save their names: Giovanni di Fidanza and Maria Ritella. How his baptismal name of John came to be changed to that of Bonaventure is not clear. An attempt has been made to trace the latter name to the exclamation of St. Francis, O buona ventura, when Bonaventure was brought as an infant to him to be cured of a dangerous illness. This derivation is highly improbable; it seems based on a latefifteenth-century legend. Bonaventure himself tells us (Legenda S. Francisci Prolog.) that while yet a child he was preserved from death through the intercession of St. Francis, but there is no evidence that this cure took place during the lifetime of St. Francis or that the name Bonaventure originated in any prophetical words of St. Francis. It was certainly borne by others before the Seraphic Doctor. No details of Bonaventure's youth have been preserved. He entered the Order of Friars Minor in 1238 or 1243; the exact year is uncertain. Wadding and the Bollandists bold for the later date, but the earlier one is supported by Sbaradea, Bonelli, Panfilo da Magliano, and Jeiler, and appears more probable. It is certain that Bonaventure was sent from the Roman Province, to which he belonged, to complete his studies at the University of Paris under Alexander of Hales, the great founder of the Franciscan School.

  • Influence of Joachim in the 13Th Century
    THE INFLUENCE OF JOACHIM IN THE 13TH CENTURY Frances Andrews The end of the 12th century was one of the periods of great eschatological potential in the medieval Latin west. In October 1187 Jerusalem was lost to a Kurdish sultan, Saladin, and the Crusade campaigns which followed were catastrophic. Tensions between the English and French crowns were at a peak, and in June 1190 the western Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa, drowned in the river Göksu (Saleph) on his way to the Holy Land. Things were no better in the Iberian peninsula: in July 1195 the Almohad Muslim prince Ya ‘qub I al-Mansur (the victorious) defeated the Christian King Alfonso VIII of Castille at the Battle of Alarcos. It was against this unstable background that Joachim, in the preface to his Liber de Concordia, wrote of his self-chosen role in preparing the Church in the face of the enemy:1 Our [task] is to foresee wars, yours is to hasten to arms. It is for us to go up to the watchtower on the mountain and, having seen the enemy, to give warning; yours, having heard the signal, is to take refuge in safer places. We, although unworthy scouts, witnessed long ago that the said wars would come. Would that you were worthy soldiers of Christ! “Let 1 For a chronology of his works as then known, see Kurt-Victor Selge, “L’origine delle opere di Gioacchino da Fiore,” in L’attesa della fine dei tempi nel medioevo, eds.

Because of this tradition, there was a receptiveness among some for prophetic visions of the future, visions of widely varied nature.
