About this episode

The episode discusses the theme of complete submission to God's will as exemplified by St. John of the Cross and Jesus.

St. John of the Cross wrote the poem, The Dark Night of the Soul , while earnestly seeking to yield his will completely to God's will. He wanted nothing of himself to keep God from doing in him what he wanted. Jesus also submitted to the Father's will.
