“I form the light, and create darkness”

/ Pater Edmund Waldstein, O.Cist.

“I form the light, and create darkness” (Isaias 45:7). Today’s Saint, John of the Cross, shows us how necessary both light and darkness are to the spiritual life. Light in order that we might know god and be enflamed with love for Him, darkness that our love might be purified from all attachment to creatures.
