Living Spring / Eternal Life 

From Paul of the Cross Letters "...Drink, my son, at the lasting spring of eternal life. Drink from the chalice of Jesus. It may seem a bit bitter to the palate, but how sweet to the stomach of the soul!" ~Paul of the Cross to Francis Appiani (Appiani's 4th letter on August 14, 1736 in Vol. 1 on Page 140 for Paul's Letter 111)

& "...This winter of agony will pass and spring will come with a holy peace that goes beyond all understanding..." ~Paul of the Cross to Francis Appiani (Appiani's 3rd letter on June 26, 1736 in Vol. 1 on Page 131 for Paul's Letter 105)

From John of the Cross "This living spring which I long for, I see in this bread of life, Although it is night." ~John of the Cross from "Song of the Soul that Rejoices in Knowing God Through Faith"
