A discourse on St. Simon Stock and the Brown Scapular devotion.

In Sayings of Light and Love, n. 68, St. John of the Cross says: Take God for a spouse[1] and friend with whom you walk continuously, and you will not sin, and you will know how to love, and necessary things will be done prosperously for you.[2] This particular saying is more important today than ever. Here, St. John of the Cross gives us a key principle for prosperity: we all need to take God as a spouse and friend.
