The Itinerarium Mentis in Deum

The Itinerarium Mentis in Deum, written by St. Bonaventure, is a spiritual guidebook describing the soul’s journey toward divine union. It portrays this journey as a path of inner growth, where one moves from understanding worldly things to contemplating divine truths. The process involves purification of the mind, illumination through divine light, and unification with God through love and insight. Think of it as a spiritual itinerary that encourages believers to deepen their relationship with God by cultivating inner virtues and awareness, ultimately leading to a state of profound union and peace with the Divine.
