St John of the Cross.

"O God, who gave the Priest Saint John an outstanding dedication to perfect self-denial and love of the Cross, grant that, by imitating him closely at all times, we may come to contemplate eternally your glory. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen." – Collect for the feast of St John of the Cross. This statue of the Carmelite mystic and saint, a Doctor of the Church, is in the Carmelite church in Ghent, Belgium.
