More quotes by John of the Cross
If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.
John of the Cross
Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.
John of the Cross
My spirit has become dry because it forgets to feed on You.
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
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
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
Though the path is plain and smooth for men of good will, he who walks it will not travel far, and will do so only with difficulty, if he does not have good feet: that is, courage and a persevering spirit.
John of the Cross
Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you, for in this way love is begotten in a heart that has no love.
John of the Cross
Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.
John of the Cross
God is a dark night to man in this life.
John of the Cross
Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.
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
There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.
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
They say, God told me, or God replied to me. And yet most of the time they are talking to themselves.
John of the Cross
To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
John of the Cross
My sole occupation is love.
John of the Cross
In search of my Love I will go over mountains and strands I will gather no flowers, I will fear no wild beasts And pass by the mighty and the frontiers.
John of the Cross
Let my soul live as if separated from my body.
John of the Cross
In sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.
John of the Cross
