The Lord has always revealed to mortals the treasures of his wisdom and spirit, but now that the face of evil bears itself more and more, so does the Lord bear his treasures more.

    Dear Catholic Spiritual Direction,

    Thank you for this quote by St. John of the Cross. Could you tell me what translation this is? I am wondering about the use of “mortals”, as it appears to be the use of inclusive language.

    Thank you very much.
