 | | John of the Cross answers this question within the first stanza of the Living Flame: "Since this flame is a flame of divine life, it wounds the soul with the tenderness of God's life, and it wounds and stirs it so deeply as to make it dissolve in love" (F, 1, 7). |
 | | According to St. John of the Cross, this is so totally an in carnated love and hence life in God that all the elements of human nature are brought into harmony, body and soul, sense and spirit. |
