When God feels silent, you are not doing it wrong. You are not failing. You are undergoing a metaphysical surgery known as the Dark Night of the Soul. Midnight Carmelite helps you navigate the void using the philosophy and mystical theology of St. John of the Cross. No platitudes. No "trying harder." Just the map you need to navigate the ascent.
