Sentence

Collect

O God, the judge of all,
who gave your servant John of the Cross
a warmth of nature, a strength of purpose,
   and a mystical faith
that sustained him even in the darkness:
shed your light on all who love you
and grant them union of body and soul
in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.           [CCP*]
