School Spirit from University Ministries to Mt

Irenaeus, service is at the heart of spirituality at St. Bonaventure PLUS: The Fosters’ remarkable commitment to the liberal arts E FALL/WINTER ‘09 R U T N E V A N O B The Rise of the Mounain By Tom Donahue Holy Peace Chapel today (above) and under construction in 1988 (below, left) he backdrop for an Oct. 17 concert, Mass and supper celebrating the 25th anniversary of Mt. Irenaeus was supposed to be one of those spectacularly clear, crisp, autumn afternoons when the hill- sides are ablaze with color. T But an early winter storm had rolled through the day before, dump- ing half a foot of snow on the mountaintop retreat in Allegany County. Huge tents meant to shelter the concertgoers sagged under the heavy blanket of white, and everywhere the ground was a slushy mess. When events were moved indoors, Br. Kevin Kriso, O.F.M., the newest member of the friar community at Irenaeus, remembers thinking that the sloppy weather might keep some people away. But the cars kept coming and Holy Peace Friary, the retreat’s community house, kept filling with people. Visitors who couldn’t squirm their way into the spacious main room joined those standing in the kitchen or just gave up and waited out- side, chatting and shivering on the porch. 20 B O N AV E N T U R E F A L L / W I N T E R ‘ 0 “A lot of people truly wanted to be that would be called Mt. -
Saint Bonaventure Church
SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | JUNE 21, 2020 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father knowing ... fear not, you are more valuable than many sparrows. – Matthew 29:31 Page two 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I want to offer a prayer for all the Dads on this Father’s Day: God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The response to today’s Psalm is, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” I find this very appropriate. I have been doing a lot of praying during the “lock down time” of the last three months. We were ready to celebrate the opening of our church in March, only to be told to stay home. We have all been through so much. I was so happy when the Bishop offered to bless our newly retrofitted and renovated church on June 14. Originally this was going to be just a livestream Mass. Then with the help of the Bishops of California, including Bishop Vann, as well as Bishop Jaime Soto, a native son of Orange County and Bishop of Sacramento, we were allowed by the Governor to open our churches on June 14. -
Bonaventure and the Sin of the Church
Theological Studies 63 (2002) BONAVENTURE AND THE SIN OF THE CHURCH C. COLT ANDERSON [The author describes how the medieval tradition answered the question of whether one can legitimately speak of collective ecclesial sin. Using principally Bonaventure as a focal point, he examines how the notion of ecclesial sin functioned simultaneously as reform rhetoric and an ecclesial apologetic of humility. Finally, he applies Bonaventure’s analysis of ecclesial sin to the present crisis regarding sexual abuse of minors to show how this idea can function even today to exhort believers to maintain unity as they struggle for re- form.] VER SINCE THE Second Vatican Council declared that the Church is “at E once holy and always in need of purification,” there has been an ongoing debate over whether one may speak of the Church sinning as a collective body.1 Interest in this question has been stimulated by John Paul II’s repeated calls for the Church to repent for the many abusive policies and actions its members have engaged in over the last two millennia.2 More C. COLT ANDERSON is assistant professor in the department of church history at the University of St. Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary in the archdiocese of Chicago. He received his Ph. D. from Marquette University. A specialist in the rhetoric and methods employed by the medieval reformers, he has also published a book entitled A Call to Piety: St. Bonaventure’s Collations on the Six Days (Fran- ciscan, 2002). 1 Lumen gentium no. 8, in Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils, ed. -

Aidan Nichols O.P., Tracey Rowland, Fr. Maximilian Heinrich Heim, and others.2 A dedicated overview of Bonaventurian thought within the writings of the current Holy Father, however, is necessary to more fully appreciate the roots of Ratzinger/Benedict XVI’s theology and its imprint on (and implications for) Catholic theology, anthropology, and pastoral practices. The present work intends to demonstrate that Joseph Ratzinger’s 1957 thesis on St. -

Albert the Great on the Subject of Metaphysics and Demonstrating the Existence of God TIMOTHY B
Albert the Great on the Subject of Metaphysics and Demonstrating the Existence of God TIMOTHY B. NOONE In his comprehensive study of Thomas Aquinas's Sen* tentia super Metaphysicam, James Doig introduces Albert the Great as one of the commentators whose interpretation of Aristotle's Meta- physics Thomas intended to challenge. In particular, Doig alleges that Albert's understanding of the formal object (or, in other terminology, the subject) of metaphysics is heavily indebted to the writings of Averroes, although the modern scholar acknowledges that Albert does not follow the Averroistic interpretation in all respects.1 Furthermore, Doig contends that Albert's own Metaphysics following Averroes's schema of metaphysical knowledge, contains no proof of the existence of God as the cause of being but simply relies on the proof of God as the cause of motion, as was developed in Aristotle's Physics.2 1.

The present paper originated as part of the author's licentiate thesis at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto. I would like to dedicate the paper to the late James A.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY of AMERICA an Hexaëmeral Reading
THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA An Hexaëmeral Reading of Bonaventure’s Breviloquium A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Daniel Wade McClain Washington, D.C. 2016 An Hexaëmeral Reading of Bonaventure’s Breviloquium Daniel Wade McClain, Ph.D. Director: Joshua Benson, Ph.D. This dissertation examines the structure of Bonaventure’s Breviloquium, a brief synthesis of theology produced in 1257 at the end of his tenure as Master at the University of Paris.1 Previous studies of this text have complicated its structure by emphasizing a distinction in genre between the prologue and the “body,” and by reading the “body” either in terms of the Platonic scheme of procession and return, or in terms of origin, procession, and return, which is a scheme supplied by Bonaventure himself.2 While attending to Bonaventure’s unique theology of the Trinity and Christ as 1 Cf.

But as this dissertation explores, the association of amor with fire played a precise and wide-ranging role in Bonaventure’s understanding of the soul’s motive power--its capacity to love and be united with God, especially as that capacity was demonstrated in an exemplary way through the spiritual ascent and death of St. Francis. In drawing out this association, Bonaventure develops a theory of the soul and its capacity for transformation in union with God that gives specificity to the Christian desire for self-abandonment in God and the annihilation of the soul in union with God. Though Bonaventure does not use the language of the soul coming to nothing, he describes a state of ecstasy or excessus mentis that is possible in this life, but which constitutes the death and transformation of the soul in union with God.
