And the seraph pierces and in an instant cauterizes this soul, which, like a red-hot coal, or better a flame, is already enkindled. The soul is converted into an immense fire of Love. Few persons have reached these heights.” #StJohnOfTheCross

One evening in #Avila #StJohnOfTheCross came out of the #monastery #church after hearing #confessions...
Suddenly, a man seized him and beat him so severely with a cudgel that he fell to the ground...
As John recounted this #adventure, he further stated that at no other time in his entire life had he experienced such #sweet #consolation: he had been treated like the #Savior himself and had tasted the sweetness of the #cross

"Faith is that admirable means of advancing to God, our goal. And God, we said, is also for the soul naturally a part, or the third cause, of this night. Faith, the means, is comparable to midnight.
"The third part, that period before dawn, approximates the light of day. The darkness is not like that of midnight, since in this third period of the night we approach the illumination of day. And this daylight we compare to God."
