Dark Night of the Soul | A Pastor's Thoughts

If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.

——John of the Cross

John of the cross is the medieval mystic who gave us “Dark Night of the Soul.” In his work he challenges us to the work of being a Christian, and the strength that comes for the journey. He tells us that the strength comes from complete union with God. This union has a price, and it is separation from the world. In that dark night of separation John finds the peace of God.
