St. John of the Cross-Sayings of Light and Love

_______________________________________________
Saying #42

Reflect that the most delicate flower loses its fragrance and withers fastest; therefore guard yourself against seeking to walk in a spirit of delight, for you will not be constant. Choose rather for yourself a robust spirit, detached from everything, and you will discover abundant peace and sweetness, for delicious and durable fruit is gathered in a cold and dry climate.

Peace be with you!
Rosemarie, OCDS
