St. John of the Cross, a Carmelite priest from Spain, coined the phrase the “dark night of the soul”.  It is a poignant metaphor used to describe a phase in a person’s spiritual life that is marked by a sense of loneliness and desolation.   St. John’s stories tell of the soul’s journey from a bodily home to its union with God.  In this story, St. John depicts this journey taking place at night, the darkness representing the trials and struggles as a person matures deeply in Christ.  It is the process whereby all the things we had relied upon to give us meaning and satisfaction apart from God begin to lose their ability to do so, and at the same time God begins the work of becoming the source of our meaning, identity and satisfaction.  Read the rest of this entry »
