More quotes by John of the Cross
Desolation is a file, and the endurance of darkness is preparation for great light.
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
There is nothing better or morenecessary than love.
John of the Cross

John of the Cross
At the evening of life, we shall be judged on our love.
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
To reach satisfaction in all desire its possession in nothing, To come to the knowledge of all desire the knowledge of nothing. To come to possess all desire the possession of nothing. To arrive at being all desire to be nothing.
John of the Cross
The window of the soul cleansed perfectly and made completely transparent by the divine light
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
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.
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
Faith is a dark night for man, but in this very way it gives him light.
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
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
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
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
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
Seek in reading and thou shalt find in meditation knock in prayer and it shall be opened in contemplation.
John of the Cross
Whoever does not seek the cross of Christ doesn't seek the glory of Christ.
John of the Cross
