John is a witness to the God who longs to encounter each one of us with the passion of a lover. Viewed by some as one of the greatest Spanish poets, by others as a forbidding advocate of renunciation, John was declared Doctor of the Church for his unique contribution to Catholic spiritual practice. Yet the essence of the real Fray Juan de la Cruz is not easy to pin down. In this book the author, a Carmelite of Mary Immaculate, lays bare the heart of John’s message: God can only encounter us in his fullness if we are empty of everything that is not God.
