John of the Cross
At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our 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

John of the Cross
Would that men might come at last to see that it is quite impossible to reach the thicket of the riches and wisdom of God except by first entering the thicket of much suffering, in such a way that the soul finds there its consolation and desire. The soul that longs for divine wisdom chooses first, and in truth, to enter the thicket of the cross.
John of the Cross

John of the Cross
Yearning: It needs to hurt in order to be worthy of the word. Otherwise it is just wanting.
