John of the Cross wrote these poems and meditations for a widow whom he had befriended. He wished to make the truth and beauty of union with God accessible to her. Using the symbol of fire as the piercing presence of the Lord, he explores how the burning of the Spirit makes us holy as it makes us whole, for 'Those who would give light must endure the burning.' Edited by Elizabeth Ruth Obbard. 72 pages, softcover from New City Press.
