Seeking St John of the Cross
“For he who will save his life, will lose it
and he who will lose his life
for My sake, will find it. ”
Matthew 16:25
“The one who walks in the love of God
seeks neither gain nor reward
but seeks only, with the will,
to lose self and all things, for God
and this loss, the lover judges to be a gain! ”
“O you souls who wish to go on
with so much safety and consolation,
if you knew how pleasing to God, is suffering
and how much it helps,
in acquiring other good things,
you would never seek consolation in anything;
but. you would rather look upon it,
as a great happiness, to bear the Cross of the Lord.”
“The endurance of darkness
is the preparation for great light!”
“Strive to preserve your heart in peace;
let no event of this world, disturb it.”
“Happiness is not a destination,
it is a method of travel.”
St John of the Cross (1542-1591)
