SAN JUAN DE LA CRUZ SPARKLER

blog The Chestertonian SOCIETY OF SPAIN is pleased to present a simple homage to Saint John of the Cross, Patron of the English language poet, Doctor of the Church, written by the wife of the administrator of these pages. She has written a wonderful dissertation dedicated to the saint of Fontiveros (Ávila), "san Juanillo" as she calls it. In his dissertation extract a fragment that we are sure you will like. Read it, it's worth:

should not imagine San Juan de la Cruz as a man dedicated to burning the adventure of the word. Nor should foreshadow the image a bibliophile monk engaged in constant reading of works of profound scholarship. San Juan was a simple man of simple tastes, a lover of life was a gift from God. And as a lover of life that was, loved every word you hear or read, as he loved the slopes and mountains, lonely valleys or islands of strange fantasy.

Examined
in love, an area in which there was never an expert so remarkable, he would not take the mystical way of silence but his heart led him to overflowing with his brothers share the grace of that God made him worthy.

not much different from other Renaissance men of letters should be the formation of San Juan. His university period he marked the path of philosophy and theology.

The Bible managed to find the same inspiration he found transforming Petrarca before him , while it was the table that saved shipwrecked on a thousand occasions of heresy. It was his point of sanity in the frenzy and serene north when his speech was transformed into impassable maze.

Enjoyed with the sweetness of Petrarchan verse, with the sonorous voice of Garcilaso Nemoroso or with the secret wisdom of Fray Luis . And he listened, and made them his "songs of ordinary people like him, because the simplicity of his words found a purity of expression of the heart.

John live in these realities literary alike. And they all converge toward the center. For John there is nothing empty of meaning, all transformed the permeability of his soul and found all Clear path to transcendence.

Although their training was not far from those of men of his time, his personal voice and his way of building a product makes it unusual, timeless and isolated. St. John is a romantic light in a world of Petrarchan lasts. Perhaps like no other found an amazing vein that connected with the deepest and highest of his heart.

never afraid to get out of the molds, the molds never served to any purpose. He did not drink sources as their contemporaries, but found them a sweet snack for your imagination. Never imitated anyone but Christ . Nothing stopped him because his love was not in this world and the way to go was still long. It only took what they needed from what he learned during his life, though some echoes are always present in his writings and distils perfume tasty Song he loved most.

San Juan was an alchemist of words, their signifiers and their meanings, and tradition and ancient wisdom. In his lab poetic Images lived equally recovered from their ecstatic experiences of meditation, nature, recreated and re-creating his steps leading from the verses of the Song , teaching Plato and the ancient and Renaissance Neoplatonism, the words inflamed the daily conversation with Ana Teresa or

All that knew, as anyone in the speech serene transform your heart. In San Juan, Plato Plato does not sound, it sounds like John, Garcilaso seems creationism, the verses are couplets farm orchard or cave, and Bible seeps welcome new text rewriting.

I hope you have enjoyed this text written by my wife, with much love and wisdom. I thank her for allowing me to publish some of your dissertation and you, for reading and commenting. All the best. May God bless and until next time.
