The author wrote part of the works during his imprisonment. In those times, the author experienced bad health and spiritual condition, which inspired him for an inner spiritual search. The result of this search was the poem The Dark Night of the Soul, telling about the soul's journey to unity with God, which goes through three stages: purgation, illumination, and unity. Ascent of Mount Carmel is a treatise to the poem mentioned above, which gives practical advice on the ascetic life. Finally, the Spiritual Canticle is a metaphoric poem about the soul searching the unity with Christ, presented as a story of a wife seeking her beloved husband.

Download or read book Saint John of the Cross written by Cristobal Serran-Pagan y Fuentes and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK is to show that many SanJuanist commentators err in portraying St. John of the Cross as a world-negating contemplative by calling him the doctor of the dark night of the soul. This misinterpretation is informed by their failure to understand John's historical context, especially the problem of conversos (Jewish and Muslim converts to Catholicism) in sixteenth-century Spain. It is time to study St. John of the Cross as a whole person and in his historical context of sixteenth-century Spain, and thus bring together his multifaceted dimensions. Attention needs to be given to his active role in the Carmelite tradition as a religious reformer, an administrator, and a prophet; to his intellectual capacity as a mystical theologian and teacher; and to his religious devotion as a poet, friar, hermit, spiritual director, confessor, and priest. The book begins with a brief history of contemplation and action in the Christian mystical tradition and it then reviews the biography and writings of this Carmelite saint. It also examines John's writings through the eyes of Raimundo Panikkar's tripartite model of action, wisdom, and devotion. Finally, it concludes with an assessment of the SanJuanist legacy for today's world. CRISTÓBAL SERRÁN-PAGÁN y FUENTES is a native of Spain, like San Juan de la Cruz, and he has spent the last three decades in the United States doing research on Thomas Merton and St. John of the Cross. He received his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Boston University. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Valdosta State University in the State of Georgia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from the introduction by Fr Steuart, The Mystical Doctrine of St John of the Cross consists wholly of passages from St John's own writings. It sets out in continous and convenient form all the essential points in his teachings. St John of the Cross was born near Avila in 1542 and dies at Ubeda in 1591. A Carmelite friar he was an enthusiastic supporter of St Teresa's campaign to restore the original and strict rule. His untiring work to spread the reform led to imprisonment, during which he wrote his first poem. He was canonized in 1726 and declared a Doctor of the Church in 1926.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ascent Of Mount Carmel is part of four works by St. John dealing with the "Dark Night of the Soul," when the individual Soul undergoes earthly and spiritual privations in search of union with God. The Ascent Of Mount Carmel is regarded as one of the greatest works of mysticism in Christianity. The book is divided into three sections and is presented as a commentary on four poetic stanzas by John on the subject of the Dark Night. He shows how the Soul sets out to leave all worldly ties and appetites behind to achieve "nothing less than transformation in God." Dark Night of the Soul is a theological commentary on the poem explaining the meaning of St. John of the Cross' poem of the same name. The book describes its meaning by stanza. Dark Night of the Soul narrates the journey of the soul from bodily home to union with God. In A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ, St. John states: "I do not purpose here to set forth all that greatness and fullness the spirit of love, which is fruitful, embodies in it. Yes, rather it would be foolishness to think that the language of love and the mystical intelligence - and that is what these stanzas are - can be at all explained in words of any kind, for the Spirit of our Lord who helps our weakness." The Poetry of St. John of the Cross includes 25 of his most inspirational poems including What is Grace, By the Waters of Babylon, My Soul is a Candle, Within the Trinity and more. John of the Cross was a major figure of the Counter-Reformation, a Spanish mystic, Catholic saint, Carmelite friar and priest. He is considered, along with Saint Teresa of Avila, as a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. His poetry and his studies on the growth of the soul are considered the summit of mystical.
