Eternal
and inaccessible fountain, clear and sweet stream flowing from a
hidden spring, unseen by mortal eye! None can fathom your depths nor
survey your boundaries, none can measure your breadth, nothing can
sully your purity. From you flows the river which gladdens the city
of God and makes us cry out with joy and thanksgiving in hymns of
praise to you, for we know by our own experience that with you is the
source of life, and in your light we see light.
– Saint
Bonaventure from a work on
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, font of sacramental graces and living
water.
Saint
Bonaventure's patronage:
Bagnoregio, Italy; against intestinal problems; Cochiti
