Why the "Dark Night" in St. John of the Cross?

Andrew Gniadek from Luminous Tradition dives deep into the doctrine of St. John of the Cross and the broader Carmelite tradition so that you can grow in hope in God and face all the necessities, trials, and difficulties that life brings and integrate the spiritual life more into your daily living. Realize that you do not need to be a religious, that you are capable of holiness, so that you can experience a greater personal love of God and those nearby and strengthen your union with God in this life right now. Andrew has spent more than a decade as a philosopher until he encountered St. John of the Cross and the Carmelite tradition. After reading everything St. John of the Cross ever wrote, he saw that without a spiritual life built on the personal love of God and those nearby he was not fulfilling his obligation to Christ. Andrew shares his insights into Saint John of the Cross and Carmelite spirituality and uses reason, the law and doctrine of the Gospel, and his own experience, giving special attention to a variety of obstacles and trials along the way. Midnight Carmelite will challenge you both intellectually and spiritually: bringing forth insights from the life and doctrine St. John of the Cross and other Carmelite saints, engaging Scripture in the original Greek, learning philosophy of the human person, meditations on the life of our Blessed Lord, and commentary on Andrew's articles about Carmelite spirituality and philosophy.
