Bonaventure, on Rom 13:12
Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Rom 13:12 · Douay-Rheims
“The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light.”
On this verse:
“And so, these virtues without form or clothing are those of the philosophers, while ours are clothed. But they must be clothed with the gold of love, for all the walls of the temple were covered with gold. Also, with the oil of unction, because all the vessels were sanctified by the oil of unction. And so, they are not divided. The night is far advanced; the day is at hand. Let us therefore put on the armor of light, that is, the four virtues originated by faith, lifted up by hope, and fulfilled by charity. These four virtues, clothed in such a manner, are symbolized by the four rivers of paradise, the four sides of the city, and the four ornaments of the tabernacle, in so far as they are originated, endowed with form, and stabilized.”
