Poetry Wednesday--Saint John of the Cross

Todays' poem is by St. John of the Cross, from The Dark Night Click on the link(s) to read the entire work online.

Lost to myself and yet remaining,
Inclined so only the Beloved I spy.
All has ceased, all rests,
Even my cares, even I.
—Saint John of the Cross, from Dark Night

It is amazing how beautiful a piece can be that talks about the Dark Night of the Soul.

Dymphna's favorite quotes


"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
