This poem by the Spanish writer John of the Cross was created during his imprisonment in Carmelite Monastery of Toledo. During this time, he suffered the lack of writing and created and held the most significant part of the poem in his mind. He later wrote down the poem at the request of his friend, who gave it in publishing. The poem is an allegorical story of the soul's travel to find God. The poem represents a human's soul as a wife and Christ as a husband. It represents the wife's suffering and her desire to find the beloved one until they finally unite in the solitude of the divine garden.
Revised edition of an abridged and annotated version of this classic religious work, first published in 1980. Prepared by a Carmelite priest who has published a number of simplified versions of religious classics. Presents the text of the poem and a lengthy and richly detailed explanation of the work.

A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ by St. John of the Cross Pdf
Claiming to be a literary interpretation, this poem of forty stanza's is loosely based on the Biblical book of Song of Songs. This story follows a bride that has been separated from her bridegroom and her search for him. If it is not obvious enough from the reading of the poem itself and St. John of the Cross's extensive explanation afterwards, the poem is a literary interpretation of Song of Songs, but also of the soul's search for Jesus Christ.

A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom of Christ by John of the Cross, Saint,St John Of the Cross,Brother Hermenegild Tosf Pdf
THE present volume of the works of St. John of the Cross contains the explanation of the 'Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ.' The two earlier works, the, 'Ascent of Mount Carmel' and the 'Dark Night of the Soul' dealt with the cleansing of the soul, the unremittant war against even the smallest imperfections standing in the way of union with God; imperfections which must be removed, partly by strict self-discipline, partly by the direct intervention of God, Who, searching 'the reins and hearts' by means of heavy interior and exterior trials, purges away whatever is displeasing to Him. Although some stanzas refer to this preliminary state, the chief object of the 'Spiritual Canticle' is to picture under the Biblical simile of Espousals and Matrimony the blessedness of a soul that has arrived at union with God. The Canticle was composed during the long imprisonment St. John underwent at Toledo from the beginning of December 1577 till the middle of August of the following year. Being one of the principal supporters of the Reform of St. Teresa, he was also one of the victims of the war waged against her work by the Superiors of the old branch of the Order. St. John's prison was a narrow, stifling cell, with no window, but only a small loophole through which a ray of light entered for a short time of the day, just long enough to enable him to say his office, but affording little facility for reading or writing. However, St. John stood in no need of books. Having for many years meditated on every word of Holy Scripture, the Word of God was deeply written in his heart, supplying abundant food for conversation with God during the whole period of his imprisonment. From time to time he poured forth his soul in poetry; afterwards he communicated his verses to friends. One of these poetical works, the fruit of his imprisonment, was the 'Spiritual Canticle, ' which, as the reader will notice, is an abridged paraphrase of the Canticle of Canticles, the Song of Solomon, wherein under the image of passionate love are described the mystical sufferings and longings of a soul enamoured with God

In A Spiritual Canticle of the Soul and the Bridegroom Christ, St. John states: "I do not purpose here to set forth all that greatness and fullness the spirit of love, which is fruitful, embodies in it. Yes, rather it would be foolishness to think that the language of love and the mystical intelligence - and that is what these stanzas are - can be at all explained in words of any kind, for the Spirit of our Lord who helps our weakness."
