description: St. John of the Cross, great mystic of the Christian tradition, knew suffering first-hand: his personal "dark night" included exile, imprisonment, starvation, abuse. Yet, sustained by tremendous faith and steeped in an enormous love for God and humanity, he surrendered to the Divine and was drawn through his experiences to a profound compassion for and solidarity with others.
