St. John of the Cross Novena - Day 3

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Co-founding the Discalced Carmelites John’s meeting with Teresa of Avila in 1567 sparked a new mission to restore the original Carmelite ideals of poverty and prayer. Together, they co-founded the Discalced Carmelites, emphasizing a return to a more authentic, contemplative lifestyle. This journey marked a pivotal moment in his life, catalyzing his reformative efforts and deepening his commitment to God’s call. O St. John of the Cross, as a co-founder of the Discalced Carmelites, you sought to renew the Carmelite spirit of prayer and simplicity. Guide us in our pursuit of a more authentic and holy life. May we, like you, strive to live in accordance with God’s will, reflecting His love and light in the world. Intercede for our intentions as we seek to renew our spiritual lives. (mention request here…) Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
