Saint Quote: Saint Bonaventure on the Sacred Heart of Jesus

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 Indian Pueblo; Saint Bonaventure University, New York.
