Dark Night of the Soul by Jean de la Croix
A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ
The book explores the profound spiritual journey of the soul as it undergoes a period of deep inner turmoil and purification, often referred to as the "dark night." This transformative experience, marked by feelings of desolation and abandonment, ultimately leads to a closer union with the divine. Through this intense process, the soul is stripped of its attachments and ego, emerging with a deeper, more authentic relationship with God. The work provides both a poetic and theological framework for understanding this challenging yet essential phase of spiritual development.
