“If it is true that the soul does nothing, I will show you here: precisely by doing nothing, it does much.”
John of the Cross
To the card
Addressed to spiritual directors: the soul in this particular contemplative state should not be pushed into discursive activity of its own. God’s working, not general idleness in everyday life, explains the paradox.
