Ilia Delio – författare

*Advance Praise & Reviews*"Ilia Delio leads us on our quest for an authentic inner compass, challenging us to action and to be 'doers of the Word." --Margaret Carney, O.S.F., president, St. Bonaventure University

Advance Praise and Reviews “In a style that is preeminently readable, Ilia Delio offers insights into issues and problems that are widespread in the present period of Christian history. How, if at all, can well-educated Christians of the present era see the central symbols of their faith in relation to the worldview mediated to them by the best of the contemporary sciences? How, if at all, can a Christian believer relate faith in a God of creative love to a world so laden with pain and suffering? Sister Ilia has taken on these monumental issues and has opened insights that can be helpful to many who take their Christian faith seriously. For this, readers of this book about the humility of God will be deeply indebted to Sister Ilia.”—Zachary Hayes, OFM

Humility isn’t merely central to Franciscan spirituality— it is divinely inspired! Humility opens our hearts to the workings of God’s grace and illuminates a prayerful path on which we journey.

Using Saint Bonaventure’s Christ-centered mysticism as a framework, Franciscan scholar Ilia Delio explores the humble dimensions of the God who captured the heart of Saint Francis, Saint Clare, and other luminaries who adopted their way of life through the centuries. A must-read for anyone interested in Franciscan theology, Delio invites readers to contemplate God’s humility and be transformed by the same divine dimension that set the Franciscan way into motion.
