Seek in reading and you will find in meditation; knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.
John of the CrossGod desires the smallest degree of purity of conscience in you more than all the works you can perform.
John of the CrossLive 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.
