Step into one of the most profound spiritual journeys ever penned—a timeless masterpiece born from suffering, solitude, and divine longing. Written while imprisoned in the 16th century, Dark Night of the Soul is Saint John of the Cross’s poetic and theological reflection on the soul’s passage through spiritual desolation toward union with God.

In this deeply contemplative work, Saint John guides readers through the mysterious “dark night”—a period of inner emptiness and abandonment that paradoxically leads to spiritual illumination. With poetic grace and mystical insight, he reveals how divine love purifies the soul, stripping away worldly attachments to awaken a deeper, more radiant connection with the Divine.
