Contemplative Striving - Spiritual Canticle Stanza 3:1-3

Jesus gives us clear directives in the Gospels to strive. He tells us to "strive for the narrow gate" and to "take up your cross and follow me." In this video Dan reflects on writings of St. John of the Cross and what it means to authentically draw near to God.

Unless they go and search for God, with intensity and love, they will not find him no matter how much they cry out to him" -St. John of the Cross
