76 Unic, 7 | they should have such a good opinion of me, as I knew
77 Unic, 7 | of me to compromise the good name of so many of the sisters
78 Unic, 7 | was wicked and they were good: just as though all the
79 Unic, 7 | things that I did had been good! In truth, though I often
80 Unic, 7 | which the sisters, who were good, might enjoy without becoming
81 Unic, 7 | may lead them into what is good! Otherwise they will do
82 Unic, 7 | proclaim that what they do is good; and believe it to be so,
83 Unic, 7 | others whom I knew to be good. I did not realize that
84 Unic, 7 | these friendships were not good for me, and to warn me and
85 Unic, 7 | so I should not injure my good name95 but rather enhance
86 Unic, 7 | clearly that it was not good. But no one caused me as
87 Unic, 7 | however, its effects were good. I was so fond of my father
88 Unic, 7 | occasions of sin. When that dear good man came to visit me, it
89 Unic, 7 | when we are in sufficiently good health to do so. And even
90 Unic, 7 | when my conscience had been good. But my father, holding
91 Unic, 7 | disposition, for he was very good. I do not know why I have
92 Unic, 7 | Dominican father, who was a very good man and had a great fear
93 Unic, 7 | possibly do me anything but good. So I began to take them
94 Unic, 7 | me which they considered good. This happened because He
95 Unic, 7 | these are not altogether good, I do not know why anyone
96 Unic, 7 | please God to hide their good desires, while inciting
97 Unic, 7 | progress. People think it a good thing to follow the pleasures
98 Unic, 8 | time on a thing which is so good.~~
99 Unic, 8 | remember little about these good days, so there can have
100 Unic, 8 | written of by many saints and good men. Glory be to God for
101 Unic, 8 | to be with them! Oh, how good a Friend art Thou, my Lord!
102 Unic, 8 | that Thou mayest make them good. They should allow Thee
103 Unic, 8 | to desire to be in such good company (for Thou knowest,
104 Unic, 8 | thinking of things that were good. Again and again I would
105 Unic, 8 | If, then, prayer is so good, and so necessary, for those
106 Unic, 8 | confessors saw that I had good desires and was spending
107 Unic, 8 | I heard anyone preach a good, earnest sermon, I would
108 Unic, 8 | that the preaching was not good. If it were good, it was
109 Unic, 8 | was not good. If it were good, it was a very special refreshment
110 Unic, 9 | feel sure that this did me good, for from that time onward
111 Unic, 9 | people whom I know. It is a good thing for those who follow
112 Unic, 9 | determined to do all that is good. Those tears of mine, as
113 Unic, 10 | itself to me is, I think, a good one. These joys which come
114 Unic, 10 | His jewels. Unless we make good use of His treasures, and
115 Unic, 10 | unaware that he is rich make good use of his riches and spend
116 Unic, 10 | who think there is some good in me. I am speaking the
117 Unic, 10 | for the approval of any good thing that I may say, if
118 Unic, 10 | learning, nor have I led a good life, nor do I get my information
119 Unic, 10 | own. If, then, I say any good thing, it will be because
120 Unic, 10 | has been pleased, for some good purpose, that I should say
121 Unic, 10 | lifetime, of course, nothing good that I may have done ought
122 Unic, 10 | bring discredit on this good, to which no one would give
123 Unic, 11 | O Lord of my soul and my Good! Why, when a soul has resolved
124 Unic, 11 | him: God treats him like a good captain, and gives him soldiers
125 Unic, 11 | uproots the weeds and will set good plants in their stead. Let
126 Unic, 11 | now, by God's help, like good gardeners, to make these
127 Unic, 11 | we cannot think a single good thought. This is what is
128 Unic, 11 | the flowers. And God is so good that when, for reasons known
129 Unic, 11 | should be dry, we, like good gardeners, do all that in
130 Unic, 11 | that is, to think a single good thought, for working with
131 Unic, 11 | be lost. He is serving a good Master, Whose eyes are upon
132 Unic, 11 | I believe it is for our good that His Majesty is pleased
133 Unic, 11 | which is not for the greater good of the soul that Thou knowest
134 Unic, 11 | it is all for our greater good; let His Majesty guide us
135 Unic, 11 | Majesty must know that it is good for them. But I do mean
136 Unic, 12 | last chapter I digressed a good deal about other things,
137 Unic, 12 | sensing God,112 which is very good and suitable for persons
138 Unic, 12 | precious companionship, makes good use of it and really learns
139 Unic, 12 | I spent a good many years doing a great
140 Unic, 12 | importance, I have said a good deal about it. I confess
141 Unic, 13 | we should not cramp our good desires, but should believe
142 Unic, 13 | takes a flight it can make good progress, though, like a
143 Unic, 13 | imitate. For it would not be a good thing for a person who was
144 Unic, 13 | which seems to me quite good for people who are in the
145 Unic, 13 | persuade me to think it a good one. For I have tried it;
146 Unic, 13 | than to lose both in so good a cause. As my own health
147 Unic, 13 | if a person is to do any good in this respect he must
148 Unic, 13 | foolishness. And they had good reason on their side; for,
149 Unic, 13 | that time they had rather a good opinion of me.~
150 Unic, 13 | which we have, and which are good, in order to give such authority
151 Unic, 13 | because they trusted in their good intentions!~
152 Unic, 13 | look at the virtues and the good qualities which we find
153 Unic, 13 | source of everything that is good.~
154 Unic, 13 | we what kind of food is good for us.~
155 Unic, 13 | spiritual they will do us good and God will show them what
156 Unic, 13 | whose understanding is not good. For myself, I have never
157 Unic, 13 | them have been wicked, the good will shine the more. May
158 Unic, 14 | O my Lord and my Good! I cannot say this without
159 Unic, 14 | ungrateful. Yet even from me some good has been brought forth by
160 Unic, 14 | end, since Thou hast seen good to work such exceeding great
161 Unic, 15 | granted it, and how there is good reason why is should not
162 Unic, 15 | fearfully, as they have good reason to do, for unless
163 Unic, 15 | in a moment. This will be good advice for the learned men
164 Unic, 15 | no difficulty in making good use of their learning both
165 Unic, 15 | His Cross. Anxious, like good knights, to serve their
166 Unic, 15 | they were renouncing the good things of this world was
167 Unic, 15 | humble us for our greater good, and so that we may not
168 Unic, 15 | we ourselves have nothing good is a well-known experience,
169 Unic, 15 | which have done me so much good, I have been taught by certain
170 Unic, 16 | doubt their intention is good, and the work they do is
171 Unic, 16 | and the work they do is good too, but they lead few people
172 Unic, 16 | have written if it seems good to you to do so; in that
173 Unic, 17 | is going there with its Good. If its life is to come
174 Unic, 17 | astonished to see what a good gardener the Lord is making,
175 Unic, 18 | it is rejoicing in some good thing, in which are comprised
176 Unic, 18 | which are comprised all good things at once, but it cannot
177 Unic, 18 | it cannot comprehend this good thing. In this rejoicing
178 Unic, 18 | becoming one. O my Lord, how good Thou art! Blessed be Thou
179 Unic, 18 | exile: even if they are good, this is great bounty and
180 Unic, 18 | a woman, and not even a good one, but wicked.~
181 Unic, 18 | thus, if I say anything good, the teaching comes from
182 Unic, 19 | showedst to me. And then, O my Good, it became clear to me that
183 Unic, 19 | people began to have a good opinion of one of whose
184 Unic, 19 | giving up things that were good and adopting habits that
185 Unic, 19 | Thou, my Lord, hast all good things, or any other truth
186 Unic, 19 | me He has forgiven often. Good reason had the devil for
187 Unic, 19 | difference there is between the good things of Heaven and those
188 Unic, 20 | is so far away from the Good which contains all that
189 Unic, 20 | which contains all that is good within Itself.~
190 Unic, 20 | Blessed be the Lord, Who is so good! Amen.~
191 Unic, 20 | severe pain finds himself in good health again, and even stronger
192 Unic, 20 | allow it to say anything good of itself nor will permit
193 Unic, 20 | in its hands, but all the good that is in it is directed
194 Unic, 21 | world's delusions. Contains good doctrine.~
195 Unic, 21 | that you have gained his good will, and then realize that
196 Unic, 21 | therefore, my God, it is not Thy good pleasure to test me by actions.
197 Unic, 21 | prepare my soul first of all, Good of all good, my Jesus, and
198 Unic, 21 | first of all, Good of all good, my Jesus, and do Thou then
199 Unic, 21 | for it knows how little good is done by the one class
200 Unic, 21 | their positions the more good they can do. But the soul
201 Unic, 21 | of God they would do more good in a day than they are likely
202 Unic, 22 | O Lord of my soul and my Good, Jesus Christ crucified!
203 Unic, 22 | couldst hinder my greatest good? Whence have all good things
204 Unic, 22 | greatest good? Whence have all good things come to me save from
205 Unic, 22 | to whom He was doing such good, disbelieved by the Apostles.
206 Unic, 22 | before Thy judges. With so good a Friend, so good a Captain
207 Unic, 22 | With so good a Friend, so good a Captain at our side, Who
208 Unic, 22 | than to have at our side so good a Friend, Who will not leave
209 Unic, 22 | corporeal must doubtless be good, since it is advised by
210 Unic, 22 | aridity, we have a very good Friend in Christ. We look
211 Unic, 22 | when He sees that it is good for us and when He is pleased
212 Unic, 22 | cannot think one single good thought. We are unprofitable
213 Unic, 22 | he will never make it a good one; whereas, if God is
214 Unic, 22 | is pleased to give him a good one, he has no need to practise
215 Unic, 22 | For the soul sees how much good it is deriving from it and
216 Unic, 22 | pleasant taste left by the good food. Again, the companionship
217 Unic, 22 | Again, the companionship of good people does not afford us
218 Unic, 22 | depends upon His Majesty's good pleasure and upon the person
219 Unic, 22 | well loved He is178 and how good a Friend! Oh, Lord of my
220 Unic, 23 | make me believe it was a good thing, so that he might
221 Unic, 23 | making by giving up what was good when I wanted to be good
222 Unic, 23 | good when I wanted to be good all the time! The devil
223 Unic, 23 | either be something very good about this or something
224 Unic, 23 | and perfection. And with good reason, for many souls have
225 Unic, 23 | all he does to the great good of the souls with whom he
226 Unic, 23 | mine186 and I also had a good deal to do with another
227 Unic, 23 | now that it was all for my good, so that I should get to
228 Unic, 23 | and to write down all my good and bad points and prepare
229 Unic, 23 | points and so little that was good that it caused me the greatest
230 Unic, 23 | I was not working upon a good foundation, nor had I begun
231 Unic, 23 | speaking through him, for the good of my soul, to judge from
232 Unic, 24 | Company. It was the Lord's good pleasure that I should become
233 Unic, 24 | friendly with a widowed lady of good family,195 who was much
234 Unic, 25 | because the exposition is very good and contains much teaching.~
235 Unic, 25 | between locutions coming from good spirits and from evil ones
236 Unic, 25 | only fails to leave behind good effects but leaves bad ones.
237 Unic, 25 | actually says is not evil, but good. I wonder if one kind of
238 Unic, 25 | persecution: they are a good beginning, and the emotions
239 Unic, 25 | distinguishing between a good spirit and an evil one.
240 Unic, 25 | from the devil, all that is good is hidden from the soul,
241 Unic, 25 | produced cannot possibly be good. It may have good desires,
242 Unic, 25 | possibly be good. It may have good desires, but they are not
243 Unic, 25 | who has experience of the good spirit will understand this.~
244 Unic, 25 | work of God. Oh, what a good God! Oh, what a good Lord!
245 Unic, 25 | what a good God! Oh, what a good Lord! What a powerful Lord!
246 Unic, 25 | whom, for their greater good, God allows to be tried
247 Unic, 26 | assured her that it was the good spirit that was speaking
248 Unic, 26 | confessor who has done me most good.207 Though I had a great
249 Unic, 26 | proved to be due to the good spirit, to keep silence
250 Unic, 27 | nothing else: He knew what was good for me and it was for Him
251 Unic, 27 | case any of them might be good. I begged the Saints to
252 Unic, 27 | If the reasons are not good ones, I must be suffering
253 Unic, 27 | It is like a person with good hearing, who is forbidden
254 Unic, 27 | all at the cost of the good Jesus? If we are not helping
255 Unic, 27 | death it has been the Lord's good pleasure that I should have
256 Unic, 28 | mind, and it did me so much good that I remained in prayer
257 Unic, 28 | I have seen a great many good ones. It is ridiculous to
258 Unic, 28 | soul, the Lord would bring good. He did his utmost to lead
259 Unic, 28 | though the opposition of good people to a weak and wicked
260 Unic, 28 | it was all for my great good.~
261 Unic, 29 | exchange them for all the good things and delights of this
262 Unic, 29 | complete fruition of its Good. At other times the impulses
263 Unic, 30 | to say, the opposition of good people -- was one of the
264 Unic, 30 | myself, without deluding good men as well. I felt I was
265 Unic, 30 | and for everything that is good. He seems to stifle the
266 Unic, 30 | light enough to do anything good and thinks of God as of
267 Unic, 30 | possibility of thinking a single good thought or of desiring to
268 Unic, 30 | the outward performance of good works, and I would half
269 Unic, 30 | about God, or about anything good, or to engage in prayer,
270 Unic, 30 | My will, I believe, is good, and well-disposed to all
271 Unic, 30 | and well-disposed to all good things; but this understanding
272 Unic, 30 | people who think of me as good were to see me in this condition
273 Unic, 30 | incapable of enjoying so much good all at once, and added to
274 Unic, 30 | treats me as He does many good people, I have not yet begun
275 Unic, 30 | seem to be doing neither good nor evil, but to be following
276 Unic, 30 | without perhaps doing any good by it.~
277 Unic, 31 | if it be His Majesty's good pleasure, to give me patience --
278 Unic, 31 | with it but it did me no good. Then I sprinkled some in
279 Unic, 31 | It was the Lord's good pleasure that the devils
280 Unic, 31 | importance, and so much good said of me. I have suffered
281 Unic, 31 | conviction that anything good in me was not mine at all
282 Unic, 31 | person thought there was any good in me, His Majesty would
283 Unic, 31 | belief that there was some good in me which was deceiving
284 Unic, 31 | God cares nothing whether good or evil is spoken of it
285 Unic, 31 | the world that seems to me good save its refusal to allow
286 Unic, 31 | its refusal to allow that good people can ever do wrong
287 Unic, 31 | by this. They begin with good desires, and fervour, and
288 Unic, 31 | do so, for the fruit of good example which it bears is
289 Unic, 31 | aware how little I knew. But good example soon prevails: that,
290 Unic, 32 | fervent impulses for the good of souls: for I really believe
291 Unic, 32 | the bliss reserved for the good and the affliction for the
292 Unic, 32 | did them a great deal of good.~
293 Unic, 32(255)| she too would help in the good work.~
294 Unic, 32 | because I had a fairly good idea of the serious disturbances
295 Unic, 33 | for, although he was very good, from that time onward he
296 Unic, 33 | matters about which, for very good reasons, he dared not be
297 Unic, 33(269)| and did a great deal of good with his money. See Letters,
298 Unic, 33 | pleased that he should be good and helpful to this house,
299 Unic, 34 | to her about me for other good purposes which resulted
300 Unic, 34 | believed there was some good in me: knowing myself to
301 Unic, 34 | had been offered by the good people whom I knew. She
302 Unic, 34 | God fearing lady and so good that her most Christian
303 Unic, 34 | did for her when I saw how good she was. But almost everything
304 Unic, 34 | servants, though hers were good, one can really place very
305 Unic, 34 | three times, but finally my good angel got the better of
306 Unic, 34 | he had and what a deal of good he could do with them if
307 Unic, 34 | up to His service, for, good as I thought him, I was
308 Unic, 34 | this favour. Think what a good person he is for us to have
309 Unic, 34(283)| that the joint witness of a good conscience and her interior
310 Unic, 34 | reveal. For he is a very good scholar, and when he has
311 Unic, 34 | His Majesty, having seen good to call to Himself some
312 Unic, 34 | done me a great deal of good. The Lord has almost completely
313 Unic, 34 | him valiant in all that is good, and has done other things
314 Unic, 34 | All this good, I believe, has come to
315 Unic, 34 | might will grant that much good may come through him to
316 Unic, 34 | soul's profit. She was very good and did as I said. Some
317 Unic, 35 | me this, I thought it a good idea, though I was afraid
318 Unic, 35 | wanted a cross, there was a good one all ready for me and
319 Unic, 35 | that would do the least good to my soul or see any way
320 Unic, 35 | I begged the lady to be good enough to let me leave,
321 Unic, 35 | Others He has changed from good to better. To the young
322 Unic, 36 | trials, and here were some good ones, and the greater was
323 Unic, 36 | if I could do so with a good conscience, to make a vow
324 Unic, 36 | This did a great deal of good: to judge by their fury,
325 Unic, 36 | great zeal for what was good, and so, without offending
326 Unic, 36 | lover of everything that is good, and, though he did not
327 Unic, 36 | that they fought us with a good conscience. Eventually they
328 Unic, 36 | learned men. This caused me a good deal of uneasiness, for
329 Unic, 36(323)| literally, "the matter was in good train"; but, in actual fact,
330 Unic, 36(325)| Despite his good will, the Provincial found
331 Unic, 36 | believe, have been endured to good purpose. The rule is rather
