Live 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.
John of the CrossGod passes through the thicket of the world, and wherever His glance falls He turns all things to beauty.
John of the CrossIn the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.
