Bonaventura 1221-1274 SERMON ON LOW SUNDAY

Medieval Preachers Podcast

Receive the Gift – A Timeless Invitation

What does it mean to "Receive the Holy Spirit"? In this sermon from Low Sunday, Bonaventure (1221-74) invites us to reflect on four extraordinary gifts Jesus offers:

1. The Cross – to discipline our desires,
2. His Body – to receive in purity,
3. The Holy Spirit – to anoint our souls,
4. The Denarius – to reward us eternally.

Through vivid imagery and deep wisdom, Bonaventure challenges us to embrace a life of spiritual renewal, perseverance, and grace.

Listen now and be inspired to "shut the door" to distractions and open your heart to the Holy Spirit.
