Stanza 31 and Commentary on It in The Spiritual Canticle by St. John of the Cross
My commentary on Section 10
Faith resides in the intellect and love in the will.
This sentiment expressed by St. John of the Cross stuck me today.
We will to love God. It takes an effort on our part, just as waking up in the morning, I make an effort to “do” devotions, to turn my mind to God. Likewise, we believe in our mind those unseen things that we will see them someday.

Ahhh, I hope I have the will to search for God and just not have the will to resist last FM
