About this book
“And he shall purify the sons of Levi, and shall refine them as gold, and as silver.” — Malachi 3:3, the text of the first sermon
St. Bonaventure preached often on the Mother of God. This volume gathers twenty-four of his sermons for her four great feasts: the Purification, the Annunciation, the Assumption and the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
In them the Seraphic Doctor joins deep theology to warm devotion, finding in Mary the pattern of the soul purified, illumined and perfected, the Star of the Sea who guides us to her Son.
Translated by Campion Murray, OFM, from Volume IX of the Quaracchi edition of Bonaventure’s Opera Omnia (1901), with appendices of the works quoted and the Scripture references.
