Even as a Protestant I am deeply appreciative of St. John of the Cross. His writings, quite literally, saved my life.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner...

I took his name at my confirmation, so obviously he is a very special saint to me. St. John of the Cross, please pray for us! Thank you Bishop Barron!

St. John of The Cross I love you so much😭
THANK YOU my Dear Heavenly Friend. The Church sleeps on you but you are for sure a most Powerful Intercessor in The Presence of The Eternal Father - especially when it comes to the only things that matter - Heavenly things. I am indebted to you. THANK YOU for choosing to be my Friend!

Dr. of Magnanimity, I hope to visit your Earthly House in Spain as soon as God allows it. I wish there was one close by so I could start making arrangements to visit. I will keep searching though.

Thank you so much St. John of The Cross, I love you.

im a muslim sufi and for long time on the spiritual path for god . And St.John of the Cross is playing a very important role for me no matter if i am a muslim or not . As he is describing myself -what i feel -what i think about the relationship between me and the almighty god . He is/was truly a gift for the humanity.

St John of the Cross pray for me. What an incredible Saint! He was the perfect model of humility! What an inspiration! He was all business. I have so much love and respect for him. He wouldn’t want the glory he would want God to have it all. That’s what I love the most about him.

That was excellent. I also recommend for beginners on St. John of the Cross to get Ralph Martin at Renewal Ministries his cd series Transformation in Christ: The Wisdom of St. John of the Cross. He also has great ones on St. Teresa of Avila and Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite saints.

The blessing and true freedom he had was through trials and tribulations that set him totally free from self. If I could have 1 percent of what he had I would consider myself successful. 🙏🙏😇😇❤️❤️

I also recommend the book by the Carmelite friar, I a i n Matthew, " The Impact of God". Breaks down St. John of the Cross writings in an easy to understand everyday way and how you can apply it to your everyday life
