Count on St. John of the Cross for Just the Right Words
Count on St. John of the Cross for Just the Right Words
from The Ascent of Mount Carmel III:38.3 St. John of the CrossHow many festivals, my God, do the children of men celebrate in Your honor in which the devil has a greater role than You! And the devil, like a merchant is pleased with these gatherings because he does more business on those days. How many times will You say of them: This people honors Me with their lips alone, but their heart is far from Me, because they serve me without cause [Mt 15:8-9]
Indeed!
