Monday, June 30 : Saint John of the Cross
The more you detach yourself from earthly things, the closer you will draw to those of heaven and the greater the wealth you will find in God. Whoever knows how to die in all things will find life in all things. Detach yourself from evil, do good, seek peace (Ps 34[33],15). Someone who complains or murmurs is neither perfect nor even a good christian. He is humble who conceals himself within his own nothingness and abandons himself to God. He is gentle who knows how to bear with his neighbor and with his own self. If you would be perfect, sell your will and give it to the poor in spirit, then turn to Christ to obtain from him gentleness and humility and follow him to Calvary and to the tomb.
