Sum of Perfection Translation by Wally Swist

from St. John of the Cross

To ignore the created and inferior,
to always remember the creator,
to give full attention to the interior,
and to be open to love the Beloved Lover.

*****

Suma de Perfección by Saint John of the Cross

Olvido de lo criado,
memoria del Criador,
atencion a lo interior
y estarse amando al Amado.
