TODAY IS ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS'S FEAST DAY.HE AND THERESA OF AVILA ( THE OTHER SPANISH MYSTIC OF THE 16TH CENTURY) HAVE IMPACTED MY LIFE IN UNBELIEVABLE WAYS.


EVERY TIME I THINK OF JOHN,I REMEMBER THIS DESCRIPTION OF HIM...THAT HE WOULD STAY UP FAR INTO THE NIGHT WITH HIS ELBOWS PROPPED UP ON THE WINDOWSILL...MARVELLING AT THE HEAVENS...GOD'S CREATION.


IF YOU HAVE NEVER READ DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL AND THE ASCENT OF MOUNT CARMEL,THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM...GUARANTEED TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE ALSO.


FATHER THOMAS DUBAY ALSO HAS A 13 PART AUDIO PROGRAMME ON JOHN,WHICH IS EXCELLENT.EWTN OFFERS IT AS A DOWNLOAD TO MP3 PLAYERS.
