More quotes by John of the Cross

John of the Cross
Silence is God's first language.
John of the Cross
Where there is no love, pour love in, and you will draw love out.
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
Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.
John of the Cross
However softly we speak, God is so close to us that he can hear us nor do we need wings to go in search of him, but merely to seek solitude and contemplate him within ourselves, without being surprised to find such a good Guest there.
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
God is a dark night to man in this life.
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
Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.
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
My sole occupation is love.
John of the Cross
There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.
John of the Cross
My spirit has become dry because it forgets to feed on You.
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
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
John of the Cross
At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.
John of the Cross
Not to follow the advice of our confessor is pride and a want of faith.
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
In tribulation immediately draw near to God with confidence, and you will receive strength, enlightenment, and instruction.
John of the Cross
