According to my opinion, I have received all your letters and felt all your sorrows, troubles, and loneliness, which always call to me just with their silence, that the pen cannot express so much. All of this is a pounding and blows on the soul, to love more... (…) To those who truly love God, He Himself takes care of their affairs, so they need not worry about them.
(John of the Cross, letter to Mrs. Juana de Pedraza, January 28, 1589)
