Saint of the day for December 14th
(Hune 24, 1542 - Tihema 14, 1591)

Tuhinga o St. John of the Cross

He tangata tapu a John na te mea ko tana koiora he kaha ki te whakatutuki i tona ingoa: "of the Cross". Ko te haurangi o te ripeka i tino kitea i roto i te roanga o te waa. "Ki te hiahia tetahi ki te whai i ahau, me whakakahore ia e ia ano, amo i tona ripeka ka aru i ahau." (Mareko 8: 34b) te aamu o te ora o Hoani. Ko te muna ngaro - i roto i te mate ki te ora - ko te kaha ki te tohu i a Hoani hei kaiwhakatikatika, hei kaitito-matakite, hei tohunga-tohunga hoki.

I whakatohungahia he tohunga Karamere i te 1567 i te 25 o ona tau, i tutaki a John ki a Teresa o Avila, a, peera i a ia, i oati ia ki te Ture tuatahi o nga Karamere. I te mea ko ia te hoa o Teresa me te tika, i uru a Giovanni ki te mahi whakahou me te kite i te utu mo te whakahoutanga: te kaha haere o te whakahee, te pohehe, te whakatoi, te mauherehere. I mohio ia ki te ripeka, kia kite i te matenga o Ihu, i a ia e noho ana i ia marama, ia marama, i roto i tona whare pouri, puhoi me te kuiti me tona Atua anake.

Heoi, te taupatupatu! I tenei tau kua mate o te whare herehere, ka ara mai a Giovanni, ka whakaputa i nga whiti. I te pouri o te whare herehere, ka haere mai te wairua o Hoani ki te Maama. He maha nga matakite, he maha nga kaitito; He tuuturu a John hei mahi-poeta, e whakaputa ana i tana whare herehere-whiti i te koa o te hononga purotu me te Atua i roto i te waiata wairua.

Engari na te mamae e arahi ana ki te koakoa, pera hoki a John i eke ai ki te maunga. Karamere, i huaina e ia i roto i tana mahi rangatira prose. I a ia ko te tangata-Karaitiana-Karamere, i kite ia i tenei ekenga ki roto i a ia ano; rite kaiwhakahaere wairua, i ite ia i roto i etahi; hei tohunga-hinengaro-tangata, naana i tuhi, i wetewete i roto i ana tuhinga tuhi. He tino mahi ana takawaenga ki te whakanui i te utu mo te akonga, ko te huarahi o te kotahitanga me te Atua: te pakari o te ako, te whakarere, te horoi. I tuhia e Hoani te taupatupatu o te rongopai i roto i te huarahi korekore me te kaha: ko te ripeka ka aranga ki te aranga, te mamae o te pouri, te pouri ki te marama, te whakarere ki te pupuri, te whakakahore i a koe ano ki te kotahitanga me te Atua. , me ngaro i a koe. Ko John "no te Cross" pono. I mate ia i te 49: he wa poto engari he oranga katoa.
