Bonaventure, on Jas 1:17

“Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration.”

“Wisdom is light: light, I say, "descending from above from the Father of lights, from whom is every best gift and every perfect gift." This light descends to illuminate our cognitive power, to gladden our affective power, and to strengthen our operative power. It descends from the most high God into the intellect, from the intellect into the affection, and even to the lowest, namely operation.”
