The Icon of Saint John of the Cross: The Spiritual Canticle in 25 Miniatures Trans: Dr. Francis Chit
Description:
Saint John of the cross, the doctor of the Church is also known as the mystic of mystics. The Spiritual Canticle, the masterpiece of his writings is depicted in this book
through iconographic art. It’s the first time that the spiritual teachings of the Father of
Carmelites are presented in this artistic form.
The saint himself describes the Spiritual canticle which flowed from the crucible of
the sufferings of his personal life in these words: “Who can describe the understanding
He gives to the loving souls in whom He dwells? And who can express the experience He
imparts to them? Certainly, no one can! Not even they who receive these communications”
(prologue 1). However, the commentary given in this book through the icons should be
greatly helpful to anyone who desiring a deep spirituality raises his or her soul to the
experimental love of the Divine
