St John of the Cross completed this treatise
on the necessary purifications endured in
the spiritual life, in 1578. In this work,
St John provides numerous insights into the
spiritual darknesses experienced by many
as they advance on the spiritual journey.
His words provide insight and hope to hearts
who might otherwise face discouragement and
confusion on the road.
"The Path of Privation" provides
a means of meditating on the essential teachings
of "The Ascent of Mount Carmel".
