St John of the CrossOne of the sayings of Saint John of the Cross is this:

Seek in reading and you will find in meditation, knock in prayer and it will be opened to you in contemplation.

Since contemplation, for Saint John, is nothing other than a flame of love thrown into our soul and transforming it by burning without destroying, this is the story of going step to step to love.
