The Ascent of Mount Carmel is a spiritual classic written by St. John of the Cross, a Spanish mystic and Carmelite friar, in the 16th century. This book is a guide to the spiritual journey towards union with God, and it is divided into three parts. In the first part, St. John of the Cross describes the purification of the soul, which is necessary for spiritual growth. He explains how the soul must detach itself from worldly things and surrender to God's will in order to reach a state of spiritual purity. The second part of the book is focused on the dark night of the soul, a period of spiritual desolation that many believers experience on their path to union with God. St. John of the Cross offers guidance on how to navigate this difficult period and emerge with a deeper understanding of God's love and grace. The third and final part of the book is about the ascent to divine union, which is the ultimate goal of the spiritual journey. St. John of the Cross explains how the soul can achieve this union through contemplation and love for God.
