Here are some quotes from St. John of the Cross on his Feast Day:

On aging: “In the twilight of life, God will not judge us on our earthly possessions and human successes, but on how well we have loved.”
― Saint John of the Cross

On one’s journey: “If a man wishes to be sure of the road he’s traveling on, then he must close his eyes and travel in the dark.”
― St. John of the Cross

On relationships: “Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you, for in this way love is begotten in a heart that has no love.”
― John of the Cross
