Also, it is the feast day of Saint Bonaventure.
Let us not believe that it is enough to read without unction, to speculate without devotion, to investigate without wonder, to observe without joy, to act without godly zeal, to know without love, to understand without humility, to strive without divine grace, or to reflect as a mirror without divinely inspired wisdom.
Previously on July 15, Rembrandt van Rijn and Iris Murdoch.
