The Dark Night of the Soul - Book 1 - Chapter 10
The Dark Night of the Soul
by Saint John of the Cross
Book 1 - Chapter 10
read by Maria Lectrix
After the soul has grown in love for God and gotten rid of attachments to things (as described in The Ascent of Mount Carmel in more extended form), it still can't get all the way to union with God, unless God does it Himself. That's what The Dark Night of the Soul is all about.
Saint John of the Cross was a Carmelite monk. He was a friend of Saint Teresa of Avila, although they seldom met face to face; and like her, he was dedicated to bringing back the more rigorous old Carmelite rule for those who wished to follow it. His difficulties were even greater than hers, however, as at one point he was actually captured and imprisoned by some of his Carmelite brothers who didn't like his ideas. Also like her, he was a mystic and writer. His poems are classics of Spanish literature.
