Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274

Rev 2:10 · Douay-Rheims

“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil will cast some of you into prison that you may be tried: and you shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful until death: and I will give thee the crown of life.”

On this verse:

“We shall have this crown if we wish to imitate the glorious Virgin. Whence it is written: "Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life"; and in the Apocalypse: "Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life."”
