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 CrossThe eternal spring is hidden in this living bread for our life's sake, although it is night. It is here calling out to creatures; and they satisfy their thirst, although in darkness, because it is night. This living spring that I long for, I see in this bread of life, although it is night.
John of the CrossIn sorrow and suffering, go straight to God with confidence, and you will be strengthened, enlightened and instructed.
