Praise for Ilia Delio
"Ilia Delio's work on the insights of Franciscan Masters such as
Bonaventure, Clare, and John Duns Scotus, continues to deepen our
appreciation for the contemporary relevance of this important
spiritual and theological tradition. Hers is a scholarly vision
that unites reason with faith, science with religion, Christianity
with other faith traditions, and spirituality with secular
concerns." --Mary Beth Ingham, CSJ "Ilia Delio's Crucified
Love has become a modern classic in the study of Bonaventure's
Christology and theology of the Cross. This reissuing of the volume
helps make the 'Seraphic Doctor, ' St. Bonaventure, more accessible
to a wider audience. Through this book they will discover the
profound and inspiring theology that reminds us that Christ is at
the center of creation and that the Franciscan intellectual
tradition remains as timely as ever!" -- Daniel P. Horan,
OFM, author, All God's Creatures: A Theology of
Creationand The Last Words of Jesus: A Meditation on Love
and Suffering "For St. Bonaventure the burning love of the
Crucified Christ is the way to mystical union with Christ whom he
calls our "spouse." Union with Christ on the cross is a mystical
marriage that Ilia Delio brilliantly explores and illumines in
Crucified Love. It is a book that is itself a journey into
God through the portal of love that flows from the mystery of
Christ's love for us in and through the overflowing love of the
three Persons of the Blessed Trinity. An attentive and prayerful
reading of this book invites us to our own journey into how we can
return Christ's burning love for us." --Murray Bodo, OFM,

by Love: Seven Teachings from Saint Francis
