New episode of Spanish Loops!

Today, we get into the life of Saint John of the Cross, born Juan de Yepes y Álvarez in 1542 in Fontiveros, Spain. From a humble beginning, John faced hardship early on, losing his father at a young age.

Despite these challenges, he pursued a religious life, joining the Carmelite Order in 1563. John met Saint Teresa of Ávila in 1567, and together they sought to reform the Carmelite Order, which led to severe opposition. He suffered imprisonment and harsh treatment but remained steadfast in his faith.

Saint John of the Cross is renowned for his profound mystical poetry and spiritual writings, such as "Dark Night of the Soul" and "The Ascent of Mount Carmel." His works explore the soul's journey towards God, emphasizing sacrifice and divine union. Canonized in 1726, his legacy as a mystic and poet endures, still inspiring countless seekers of spiritual depth.
