John of the Cross: God touching us

Wednesday, December 14, 2022
    Feast of John of the Cross, Mystic, Poet, Teacher, 1591
Meditation:
    But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
    —John 14:26 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Sometimes, when the soul least thinks of it, and when it least desires it, God touches it divinely causing certain recollections of Himself.
    ... St. John of the Cross (1542-1591), The Ascent of Mount Carmel, London: Thomas Baker, 1906, p. 208 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, re-enter my thoughts.
