More quotes by John of the Cross
My sole occupation is love.
John of the Cross
Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
John of the Cross
The centre of the soul is God and, when the soul has attained to Him according to the whole capacity of its being, which is the strength and virtue of the soul, it will have reached the last and the deep centre of the soul, which will be when with all its powers it loves and understands and enjoys God.
John of the Cross
He who loves is not ashamed before men of what he does for God, neither does he hide it through shame though the whole world should condemn it.
John of the Cross
Abide in peace, banish cares, take no account of all that happens, and you will serve God according to his good pleasure and rest in him.
John of the Cross
In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.
John of the Cross
God passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.
John of the Cross
Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.
John of the Cross
Live as though only God and yourself were in this world, so that your heart may not be detained by anything human.
John of the Cross
Let my soul live as if separated from my body.
John of the Cross

John of the Cross
The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light
John of the Cross
Faith is a dark night for man, but in this very way it gives him light.
John of the Cross
To reach satisfaction in all desire its possession in nothing, To come to the knowledge of all desire the knowledge of nothing. To come to possess all desire the possession of nothing. To arrive at being all desire to be nothing.
John of the Cross
I have said this to explain the stanza that follows, in which the soul replies to those who call in question its holy tranquillity, who will have it wholly occupied with outward duties, that its light may shine before the world: these persons have no conception of the fibres and the unseen root whence the sap is drawn, and which nourish the fruit.
John of the Cross
Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.
John of the Cross
Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation.
John of the Cross
The soul of one who serves God always swims in joy, always keeps holiday, is always in her palace of jubilation, ever singing with fresh ardor and fresh pleasure a new song of joy and love.
John of the Cross
If you lose an opportunity you will be like one who lets the bird fly away you will never get it back.
John of the Cross
My spirit has become dry because it forgets to feed on You.
John of the Cross
