Dark night of the Soul...
My friend Jeanine used this saying quite often. I thought I would share with you a little more about the Saint whose words have been so comforting to so many; including myself.
St. John of the Cross
Feastday: December 14
Born in Spain in 1542, John learned the importance of self-sacrificing love from his parents. His father gave up wealth, status, and comfort when he married a weaver's daughter and was disowned by his noble family. After his father died, his mother kept the destitute family together as they wandered homeless in search of work. These were the examples of sacrifice that John followed with his own great love -- God.
