| Description |
| The Catholic Shop Catholic book store is pleased to bring you "Dark Night of the Soul." This book by St. John of the Cross has been hand selected as a favorite of our staff, and owners Greg & Natia Meehan. Thank you for choosing our Catholic store today. In Dark Night of the Soul, Saint John of the Cross presents for us a portrait - painted from his own experience - of one who advances successfully through the struggles of the spiritual life. The "dark night" that St. John describes is not abandonment by God but special consideration from Him for those who desire to purify and perfect their souls. With a soul purified from earthly attachments, we can advance through the much quoted but oft misunderstood "dark night of the soul" into unity with God. By accepting the desolation and difficulty of this process, the soul cooperates with God and opens itself to receiving and revealing more perfectly God's glory. 192 pp. |
