    St. John of the Cross

    St. John was born near Avila, Spain, in 1542. At the age of twenty-two he entered the Carmelite Order and took the name of John of the Cross. He was ordained Priest in 1567, and led a most holy, austere, prayerful life.

    Inflamed with a desire to live a simple life, he considered entering the Carthusian Order. Instead, he was led by St. Teresa of Avila to join the newly created Order of Barefooted Carmelites. John was soon joined by some others, all of whom renewed their profession in Advent, 1568. Their sanctity spread throughout the village of Durville and soon over all of Spain.

    Devotion to the Holy Cross

    St. John’s intense love of the cross appeared in all his actions, and it was by meditating continually on the suf ferings of Christ that it increased daily in his soul. He not only passed through many spiritual and interior trials, but underwent much persecution and even imprisonment for nine months at Toledo.

    St. Teresa, when made Prioress of the convent at Avila where she had made her profession, appointed St. John spiritual director of the house in 1576. He gave her his powerful help in reforming the Order. Once St. John heard Christ say to him: “John, what recompense dost thou ask of thy labors?” He answer “Lord, I ask no other recompense than to suffer and be contemned for Thy love”. The love of God so powerfully possessed his soul, and its fire was so violent, that his words were sufficient to kindle a flame in others.

    Great Author

    His wonderful works on Mystical Theology, “The Ascent of Mount Carmel”, “The Dark Knight”, “The Spiritual Canti cle”, “The Living Flame”, make him the master and guide of all who are favored with the gift of supernatural prayer. He lays down in his works two fundamental rules of perfection: (1) that a person endeavor to perform all his actions in union with those of Jesus Christ, desiring to imitate Him and to put on His spirit; (2) to mortify his senses in all things, denying them whatever does not seem most to contribute to the glory of God.

    St. John often begged God not to let him pass a day without suffering and to permit him to die where he would be unknown to all. God answered his prayer, for the reform of Carmel caused him great suffering, and even banishment. For three months prior to his death, he endured excruciating pains and fever from an ulcerated leg.

    He calmly breathed forth his soul on December 14, 1591, as he pressed the crucifix on his breast and said, “Lord, into Thy hands I commend my soul”. St. John was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726. and was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XI on November 24, 1926.
