Saint John of the Cross Quote

O you souls who wish to go on with so much safety and consolation, if you knew how pleasing to God is suffering, and how much it helps in acquiring other good things, you would never seek consolation in anything; but you would rather look upon it as a great happiness to bear the Cross of the Lord.

Saint John of the Cross Quote

In giving us His Son, His only Word, He spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word -- and He has no more to say...because what He spoke before to the prophets in parts, He has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son.

-- Saint John of the Cross
