Fr. Robert Nixon illuminates how Bonaventure serves as an example for all of us, from multitasking workaholics to devout but exhausted young families, to the spiritually slothful. Bonaventure – “good and fortunate journey” – lived a life of deep devotion and commitment to everything that he applied his talents toward. Consider how we today so often fail to give our “all” to our pursuits: faith, family, work, charity, and more.
