This book shows an expedient way of achieving a union with God by empting one's self and allowing God to do the rest. No wander why St. John of the Cross become a doctor of the Church. The reading is excellent. The Ascent of Mount Carmel 5 hiitsme 2006-08-25 14:30:22 2006-08-25 14:30:22 I have always wondered why I have had such trouble reading thru this classic spiritual work. It is because as with any truly spiritual work that opens real spiritual truths it is always best read aloud especially within a group of like-minded believers. (where two or three are gathered in my Name...there I AM). Thank you maria for this wonderful gift, please brothers and sisters take and eat of this spiritual bread you will be blessed as travellers on the Way have for 100's of years.
