St Bonaventure (c.1217–74), for instance, governor-general of the order from 1257 to 1274, was a university man and speculative theologian of enormous erudition who succeeded grandly in combining the mystical elations of Franciscan piety with the rational disciplines of academic philosophy.

The traditional role of God the Holy Spirit is to conform us to God the Word, Who then ushers us into the silent depths of God the Father.
