From the author: In this essay, the author places into a "dialogue of love" the mystical theologies of Saints Gregory Palamas and Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, as developed in their respective masterpieces, the Defense of the Holy Hesychasts and The Soul's Journey into God. It is the author's contention that when this dialogue is engendered, one is able to see how these saints, precisely within the diversity of their respective ecclesial traditions, mirror each other's understanding of how the human person experiences God and, in the process, mirror how Orthodox and Roman Catholic faithful alike can both perceive anew and visibly witness once again to the faith, hope, and love that even now unites them as one body in Christ.
