No further Word

God could answer as follows: If I have already told you all things in My Word, My Son, and if I have no other word, what answer or revelation can I now make that would surpass this? Fasten your eyes on Him alone because in Him I have spoken and revealed all and in Him you will discover even more than you ask for and desire. You are making an appeal for locutions and revelations that are incomplete, but if you turn your eyes to Him you will find them complete. For He is my entire locution and response, vision and revelation, which I have already spoken, answered, manifested, and revealed to you by giving Him to you as a brother, companion, master, ransom, and reward. . . . If you desire me to answer with a word of comfort, behold My Son subject to Me and to others out of love for Me, and afflicted, and you will see how much He answers you. If you desire Me to declare some secret truths or events to you, fix your eyes only on Him and you will discern hidden in Him the most secret mysteries, and wisdom, and wonders of God. –St John of the Cross “Ascent of Mount Carmel”
