More quotes by John of the Cross
Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.
John of the Cross
God desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.
John of the Cross
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
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
Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
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
To love is to be transformed into what we love. To love God is therefore to be transformed into God.
John of the Cross

John of the Cross
Contemplation is nothing else but a secret, peaceful, and loving infusion of God, which, if admitted, will set the soul on fire with the Spirit of love.
John of the Cross

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
If it were given to a man to see virtue's reward in the next world, he would occupy his intellect, memory and will in nothing but good works, careless of danger or fatigue.
John of the Cross
Let my soul live as if separated from my body.
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
In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human success, but rather on how much we have loved.
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
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
If you do not learn to deny yourself, you can make no progress in perfection.
John of the Cross
There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.
John of the Cross
