Bonaventure, on Col 3:2

Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Col 3:2 · Douay-Rheims
“Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth.”
On this verse:
“Do not set your mind on the things that are upon the earth, for Christ was crucified to make void this wisdom; and just as Christ died to make void and destroy vain wisdom, so he rose again and ascended to teach true wisdom and to establish it in our hearts. On the cross he taught us to spurn the wisdom of the world, and going into heaven he taught us to desire the wisdom of God and to love the fountain of life. All the wisdom of the world is to spurn these things. But the greatest foolishness is to make void the death of Christ, which those do who mind the things that are upon the earth; therefore it is necessary to make void this wisdom and to desire the wisdom that is from above.”
