Bonaventure, on Ps 118:37
Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Ps 118:37 · Douay-Rheims
“Turn away my eyes that they may not behold vanity: quicken me in thy way.”
On this verse:
“Again, civil war is the temptation of the world. Indeed, every creature is a trap. Hence the saying: Vanity of vanities! All things are vanity! What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun? Vain and worthless is anything of which nothing remains to man after death: wherefore all things are vanity. The Psalm reads: Turn away my eyes from seeing what is vain.”
