An intimate place, where God waits for His beloved ... you
St. John of the Cross is one of Christianity's great spiritual teachers. Poet and theologian, he devoted his life to the glory of God through mental prayer. He left us with masterpieces of literature that also give us practical guidance on the way to union with God, which is the soul's vocation on earth and happy destiny in eternity. With his assistance, we learn to pray more deeply and progress more surely toward our ultimate goal: abundant life in Christ.
