The Ascent of Mount Carmel | St. John's Sketch of the Mount

November 19, 2017 in Christianity, St. John of the Cross
 

This is St. John's "Sketch of Mount Carmel" which he includes in his work.  The most interesting part of this sketch for me is the phrase along both sides:
 

"Now that I no longer desire them (or least desire them), I have them all without desire."


As we will see, in St. John's experience, by giving up all, he gets all.
