Abstract

In this contribution, I shall present key aspects of the interpretation of Saint Bonaventure’s thought developed by Romano Guardini. The central point upon which I shall concentrate is the “mystical orientation” of the Serafic Doctor's perspective, which also shapes his metaphysical point of view. In the second part, I shall show that some elements of the developed “Bonaventurian standpoint” are also central to the perspective which underpins Guardini’s conception of liturgy.
