Memorial of Saint John of the Cross, priest and doctor of the Church
St. John of the Cross was a Spanish Carmelite priest and one of
our greatest spiritual poets. Learn more about him and his writings
from American Catholic.
Pray these words from a Canticle by Saint John of the Cross: "We must dig deeply in Christ. He is like a rich mine with many
pockets containing treasures: however deep we dig we will never find
their end or their limit. Indeed, in every pocket new seams of fresh
riches are discovered on all sides."Through the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,and the intercession of Saint John, may we treasure the gifts of life which God have given us!"
Reflect on Mary and Joseph's difficult journey to Bethlehem.
