More quotes by John of the Cross
The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light
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
Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.
John of the Cross
Lord, I shall see you no more with the eyes of the flesh.
John of the Cross
Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.
John of the Cross
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
John of the Cross
A Christian should always remember that the value of his good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts him to do these things.
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
Obedience is a penance of reason, and, on that account, a sacrifice more acceptable than all corporal penances and mortifications.
John of the Cross
Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
John of the Cross
Silence is God's first language.
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
When there is no love, pour in love and you shall draw out love.
John of the Cross
Let my soul live as if separated from my body.
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
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
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
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
Never give up prayer, and should you find dryness and difficulty, persevere in it for this very reason. God often desires to see what love your soul has, and love is not tried by ease and satisfaction.
John of the Cross
God is a dark night to man in this life.
John of the Cross
