Provincial Corner

You know my dear brothers, after listening to Br. Ericson's sharing this morning about St. Bonaventure, I don't know if I can add anything to his beautiful reflection/presentation about this great saint and theologian. I think his reflection is enough to guide us in this celebration. My dear brothers, if there is one thing that our celebration and the readings today teach us, it is all about wisdom, how wisdom leads us, makes us, as Capuchins, to become salt of the earth and light of the world as our gospel says. It does not only refer to intelligence because all of us have our own innate talents in different aspects and approaches. But the question for us is how do we use it? Where do we use it? Our knowledge must bring us to a good relationship with God, because otherwise, we will become selfish, arrogant, manipulative. But if our intelligence brings us into our relationship with God, it becomes wisdom. And that's what our readings are showing us today, the kind of wisdom that makes our thoughts like God's. That's what St. Bonaventure is showing and teaching us now. ░
