Stanza 36 and Commentary on It in The Spiritual Canticle by St. John of the Cross
My commentary on Note 6
The wisdom of God and the wisdom contained in His creatures: often I see one, but not the other. I go to the mountain of God, but not the hill of God where He speaks through his creatures. He may be speaking through people I meet, circumstances I encounter, but I am not listening. Maybe it’s the same for you reading this.
Lord, help me, help us, to open our eyes so that we might hear you clearly in the people and circumstances of our lives. Amen.
