In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents for us a portrait painted from his own experience of one who advances successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life. The dark night that St. John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls.

With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance through the much quoted but oft misunderstood dark night of the soul into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens herself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God's glory.

    Classics Made Simple - Dark Night of the Soul

    Posted by Nancy Y. on Sep 13th 2022

    This little booklet was a good review of the message of St. John of the Cross. I especially liked St. A. Liguori;s advice on how to get maximum benefit of Dark Night of the Soul, of which I will follow on next reading - as it is one to return to over and over. Nancy Y.
