Bonaventure, on Rev 22:2
Bonaventure · c. A.D. 1221–1274
Rev 22:2 · Douay-Rheims
“In the midst of the street thereof, and on both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruits every month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
On this verse:
“And so, in descending order, out of charity which is an ointment flowing from the head over the beard upon the collar of the robe, there is the cleaving to God, to self, to the neighbor and to one's body. Hence, as there are twelve fruits in the twelve examples of ascent towards charity, so also there are twelve fruits in the descent. And this is what is said in the Apocalypse: "On both sides of the river, was the tree of life, bearing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month." On the one side of the river, the intellectual fruits; on the other, the affective; or on the one side the ascending fruits, and on the other the descending.”
