Spiritual Sunday #11: Dark Night of the Soul a la St. John of the Cross

For more Spiritual Sunday posts, I recommend that you wander over to the website of Charlotte and Ginger, who host the Spiritual Sunday meme.

Because I do not blog on Sundays -- keeping it as the sabbath -- I use older posts (forgotten perhaps but hopefully still good enough) from one or another of my blogs that seem appropriate for this meme. Yes, I know I could post on Saturday instead, but typically I can pulled in too many other directions to post on Saturdays, or I have a post that has been written in advance and posts automatically on that day. In any event, it seems to work to bring out the older posts that many have not read before or ones from other blogs I maintain that readers of 100th Lamb may not know about. Recently I posted an experience with which others may be able to relate on my blog, Modern Mysticism. That post is about living through what St. John of the Cross might call a dark night of the soul. I am glad to be out of that period for that night was three weeks long! See: Darkness II.

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday!
