More quotes by 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
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
Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
John of the Cross

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

John of the Cross

John of the Cross
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.
John of the Cross

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
However high be your endeavors, unless you renounce and subjugate your own will - unless you forget yourself and all that pertains to yourself - not one step will you advance on the road to perfection.
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
Now that I no longer desire all, I have it all without desire.
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
Beloved, all that is harsh and difficult I want for myself, and all that is gentle and sweet for thee.
John of the Cross
Silence is God's first language.
John of the Cross
When there is no love, pour in love and you shall draw out love.
John of the Cross
At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
John of the Cross
