I understand that a mystic is someone with an advanced spiritual life but it doesn’t seem like a term you’d just go ahead and describe someone who leads a life of prayer. May someone explain this to me?
 
Oh also, I think I read somewhere that St. John of the Cross has been classified as a mystic, so if you’re interested read some his writings such as “Dark Night of the Soul”, “A Spiritual Canticle” and “Ascent of Mount Carmel”
