	Saint John of the Cross
		John of the Cross is more renowned for his writings than for his life, which, apart from the sufferings inflicted on him by his cantankerous brethren in religion, and apart from his holiness and extraordinary sweetness of nature, is unremarkable.
		The fundamental contribution of John of the Cross to the doctrine of the spiritual life is, first, his exact treatment of the earliest stages of infused ('mystical') contemplation and, second, his clear, coherent exposition of the whole course of the interior life.
		John died at Ubeda on December 14th, 1591, was canonized in 1726 and was made a doctor of the church in 1926.
