About this book
“Take these forty reflections with you into your prayer time and expect transformation.” — Dr. Mark Miravalle, S.T.D.
Saint Bonaventure wrote On the Perfection of Life for a Poor Clare abbess, perhaps Blessed Isabelle of France. Fr. Rick Martignetti, OFM, takes its chapters, from true self-knowledge and humility to perfect love of God and perseverance, and opens them in forty short stories and reflections drawn from his own life as a friar, teacher and pilgrim guide.
With the Latin text translated by Jean-François Godet-Calogeras. “Fr. Rick’s stories are honest and encouraging, and, like Bonaventure’s thought itself, always bring us home.”
