The slum area Puente Nayero is home to more than 1,200 families, of which an estimated 95% have been forcibly displaced from their homes due to the conflict. With nearly 6 million displaced people, Colombia is one of the countries with most displacements in the world. The slum areas are dominated by paramilitary gangs who extort and oppress the local population. The citizens of Puento Nayero recently found the courage to kick the paramilitaries out and declare their neighbourhood a humanitarian zone. With the support from NGOs and a government program they are now striving to keep it safe. - 2018

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT BONAVENTURE The Patron of Bowel Disorders Feast Day: July 15

"We must beg the Holy Spirit, with ardent longing, to give us these fruits. The Holy Ghost alone knows how to bring to light the sweetness hidden away under the rugged exterior of the words of the Law. We must go to the Holy Ghost for interior guidance." -excerpt from the Holiness of Life

Known as Doctor Seraphicus (Seraphic Doctor) and the 7th Minister General of the Franciscan Order, Bonaventure was born Giovanni di Fidanza, at Civita di Bagnoregio near Viterbo, Latium, then part of the Papal States in the year 1221. Almost nothing is known of his childhood, other than the names of his parents, Giovanni di Fidanza and Maria di Ritella. Bonaventure did suffer from a life threatening illness effecting the bowels as a young child, and that prayer to St. Francis of Assisi saved his life.

In 1243, he entered the Franciscan Order at the age of 22, changing his name of Giovanni into Bonaventure, (meaning 'Happy-Future'). In Paris where he was sent to complete his studies at the University of Paris (Sorbonne), possibly under Alexander of Hales, and certainly under Alexander's successor, John of Rochelle. He became an intimate friend of Thomas Aquinas. When the latter asked him what was the source of his wisdom, he showed him a crucifix. He made his studies a continuation of prayer, and prayer for preparation for study.

A remarkable cheerfulness always appeared on his face, confirming what he used to say: 'A spiritual joy is the greatest son of the divine grace dwelling in a soul.'

Three years earlier his fame had earned him the position of lecturer on The Four Books of Sentences—a book of theology written by Peter Lombard in the twelfth century—and in 1255 he received the degree of master, the medieval equivalent of doctor.

At the age of 35, Bonaventure was chosen Minister General of the Franciscans and healed the division caused by the different interpretations of the vow of poverty. Thomas Aquinas, coming one day while Bonaventure was writing the Biography of St. Francis, saw him through the door of his cell in contemplation. Going away he said: 'Let us leave a saint to work for a saint.'

On November 24, 1265, he was selected for the post of Archbishop of York; however, he was never consecrated and resigned the appointment in October 1266.

In 1273, Pope Gregory X sent some delegates from Rome to appoint him Cardinal. When the delegation showed up at Bonaventure's friary at Mugello, they found him washing the dishes. He actually sent them outside to wait for him to finish the dishes. Legend has it, he asked them to leave the red hat (galero) on a tree outside. So the saint finished washing the dishes and then came to greet the papal delegation.

Bonaventure played a prominent role in the Council of Lyons which was called to bring about a reunion with the Eastern churches. Thomas Aquinas died on his way to the same council. A temporary reunion of the churches was achieved and Bonaventure preached at the Mass of reconciliation. However, he did not live to see Constantinople repudiate the reunion.

At the age of 52 on July 15, 1274, while attending the Second Council of Lyons in France, Bonaventure suddenly died and under suspicious circumstances in Lyon, Lyonnais, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles (present-day France).

Bonaventure's feast day was included in the General Roman Calendar immediately upon his canonization in 1482. It was at first celebrated on the second Sunday in July, but was moved in 1568 to July 14, since July 15, the anniversary of his death, was at that time taken up with the feast of Saint Henry.

It remained on that date, with the rank of 'double', until 1960, when it was reclassified as a feast of the third class. In 1969, it was classified as an obligatory memorial and assigned to the date of his death.
