As a child, he was miraculously cured of a deadly sickness through the prayers of St. Francis of Assisi. He grew up to become a brilliant teacher and leader, but he stayed incredibly humble. In fact, when messengers came to give him his high-ranking Cardinal's hat, they found him washing dishes, and simply asked them to hang the hat on a tree until his hands were dry.
His life teaches us a beautiful lesson: ๐ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ญ. Bonaventure believed that we can't truly understand the world or connect with God just by reading books. To him, real wisdom isn't about being the smartest person in the room; it is about ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ, ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ง, and ๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ for others.
In our busy lives today, letโs worry less about always being "right" and focus more on being ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ. How can you share some love and "good fortune" with someone today? โค๏ธ
