Carmelite homily for Saturday, December 14, 2019 – Lectionary 693
Today we celebrate the feast of a great one – Saint John of the Cross – Carmelite, mystic, spiritual writer, Doctor of the Church. There’s so much to say. But his best known quotation may say it all. He writes, “At the evening of life you will be examined in love.” I think of all his teachings writings, everything, his poetry, his commentaries, everything can be summarized by that one line. And hopefully our lives can be summarized by that one line. Because it’s a true line: “At the evening of life you will be examined in love.” Happy Feast of Saint John of the Cross.
