Bonaventure was born in 1221 at Bagnoregio in Italy and baptized John. As a boy he was seriously ill and was healed through St Francis; at 22 he became a Franciscan and took the name Bonaventure. He taught at the University of Paris, led the friars for 17 years, and wrote the life of Francis that became the standard biography. Made a cardinal by Pope Gregory X, he died suddenly in 1274 at the Council of Lyon. He is a Doctor of the Church. His feast is July 15. Light a free candle for students and teachers.
