Juan de Yepes
Mar 8, 2021
John of the Cross,
scholarly saint,
spent 9 months in jail
for no good reason.
Tortured, deprived.
Somehow, he escaped.
Found refuge
among the nuns.
That first night back
he was asked:
what would be good
for you right now?
“Tomorrow is feast of our lady.
The greatest joy for me would be
to say mass.”
