"Traditional Catholic Church"

"Doctor of the Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the feast of Holy, Saint John Of The Cross, Confessor. He was born in Spain, in the year 1542. The father of Saint John was discarded by his kindred for marrying a poor orphan, and the Saint, thus born and nurtured in poverty, chose it also for his portion. Unable to learn a trade, be became the servant of the poor in the hospital of Medina, while still pursuing his sacred studies. In 1563, at the age of twenty one, he humbly offered himself as a laybrother to the Carmelite friars, who, however, knowing his talents, had him ordained a priest. He would now have exchanged to the severe Carthusian Order, had not Saint Teresa, with the instinct of a Saint, persuaded him to remain and help her in the reform of his own Order. Thus he became the first prior of the Discalced (barefooted) Carmelites. His reform, though approved by the general, was rejected by the elder friars, who condemned this Saint as a fugitive and apostate, and cast him into prison, whence he only escaped, after nine months of suffering, at the risk of his life. Twice again, before his death, he was shamefully persecuted by his brethren, and publicly disgraced. But his complete abandonment by creatures only deepened his interior peace and devout longing for Heaven. His Holy and mystical writings are as highly esteemed as those of Saint Teresa of Avila. Saint John of the Holy Cross faithfully pasted away in the year 1591.
Reflection: “Live in the world,” said Saint John, “as if God and your soul only were in it, so shall your heart be never made captive by any earthly thing.”
