A LOVE STORY - THE DARK NIGHT - Loreena McKennitt - Salvador Dali - John of the Cross.

A LOVE STORY

In what was called, the belly of the beast, John of the Cross wisely more silent than the prophet Jonah, dealt not with men but with God alone, waiting patiently for a divine answer that would end the dark night of his soul.

In the end; The Religion that would Police him could not disturb the ecstasy of one who had been carried so far into the light that he was no longer troubled at the thought of being rejected even by those who would hold themselves up to the world as being Holy!

No one can become a saint without solving the problem of suffering. No one who has ever written anything, outside the pages of Scripture, and no one has given us such a solution to the problem as St. John of the Cross.

In the end they consciously did everything they could to remove St. John of the Cross from a position in which he would be able to defend what he knew to be true.

While sanctity alone is perhaps the living solution of the problem of suffering. Still suffering continues to be suffering; But it can cease to be an obstacle in our life, and to our mission or our happiness, in which we can find refuge positively and concretely in faith, hope and love.

John of the Cross does not reveal when or how his answer came, but when John of the Cross made his miraculous escape during the octave of the Assumption, in 1578, he carried in his pocket the manuscript of a poem which critics have declared to be far superior to any other in the Spanish language, if not the world. The writings of John of the Cross during his dark night of the soul.
