To reach satisfaction in all
desire its possession in nothing,
To come to the knowledge of all
desire the knowledge of nothing.
To come to possess all
desire the possession of nothing.
To arrive at being all
desire to be nothing.

John of the Cross

Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.

John of the Cross
