Quenching one's thirst...

 

"That eternal Spring is hidden             yet I know well where it flows...             I know that there can be             nothing else so beautiful             and that the heavens and the earth drink there...               I know well that its bottom cannot be found             and that no one can penetrate its depths...             Its clarity is never muddied,             and I know that every light has come from it...             Well do I know how vast , how mighty is the flow             of the stream born in this Fount...               This eternal Spring is hidden             in this living Bread to give us life...             It is here calling to creatures             and from its water they quench their thirst...             This living Fount that I long for             I see in this Bread of Life..."       St John of the Cross Doctor (mystical theology) of the Church 1542 — 1591 ~ Spain Carmelite friar and priest Co-founder Discalced Carmelites w/St Teresa of Ávila FEAST DAY - Dec 14         "Where there is no love, put love -- and you will find love." ~ St John of the Cross     Ste John of the Cross, ora pro nobis!
