3 Intr, 0 | house and have numerous things to do.46~
4 Intr, 0 | the prologue, these other things must remain for such as
5 Intr, 0 | admirably written upon these things of the spirit, the which
6 Unic, 1 | not so much as the other things I have described.~
7 Unic, 2 | always, and in every way, see things which are good. My mother,
8 Unic, 2 | hardly at all, and evil things did me a great deal of harm.
9 Unic, 2 | keep our conversation on things that amused them and listen
10 Unic, 2 | was rash enough to do many things which were an offence both
11 Unic, 2 | first, I believe, these things did me harm. The fault,
12 Unic, 2 | secret from Him Who sees all things. O my God, what harm is
13 Unic, 3 | thoughts to desires for eternal things, and to remove some of the
14 Unic, 3 | learned as a child, that all things are nothing, and that the
15 Unic, 4 | now free from all those things, there came to me a new
16 Unic, 4 | reason to be afraid that things will turn out amiss, since
17 Unic, 4 | still clung to it, even in things that were lawful. I used
18 Unic, 5 | periods of unrest about things which in themselves were
19 Unic, 5 | trivial is the value of all things that pass away and how great
20 Unic, 5 | excuse; the fact that the things I did were themselves not
21 Unic, 5 | undeceived me about certain things, and the Fathers of the
22 Unic, 5 | women who try to do such things to them. Let them be sure
23 Unic, 5 | Since we have received good things at the hand of the Lord,
24 Unic, 5 | shall we not suffer evil things?87 This seemed to give me
25 Unic, 5 | had told me that certain things were not mortal sins which
26 Unic, 6 | explained to me that such things are unseemly and superstitious.
27 Unic, 6 | spirituality, for I always wanted things to be done very meticulously
28 Unic, 6 | have to write about many things briefly, much more so than
29 Unic, 6 | Thee, and some of these things Thou hast helped me successfully
30 Unic, 7 | been deriving from virtuous things. I saw very clearly, my
31 Unic, 7 | evil-speaking and doing other things of that kind which gave
32 Unic, 7 | be well thought of in the things wont to be esteemed by the
33 Unic, 7 | in me. For I did no such things as taking liberties for
34 Unic, 7 | me -- for there were many things which I used to ponder deliberately
35 Unic, 7 | as though all the other things that I did had been good!
36 Unic, 7 | invite and incline them to do things which are completely worldly;
37 Unic, 7 | and they see that these things are considered, as one might
38 Unic, 7 | of the devil, and other things of that kind. I always had
39 Unic, 7 | comfort from speaking of the things of God.~
40 Unic, 7 | and to a thousand other things which may happen to us.
41 Unic, 7 | always, remembering how all things come to an end. He told
42 Unic, 7 | following the world. All the things of God gave me great pleasure,
43 Unic, 7 | these two contradictory things, so completely opposed to
44 Unic, 7 | when they observed other things in me which they considered
45 Unic, 7 | because He Who knows all things saw it to be necessary,
46 Unic, 7 | credence when speaking of things that concern His service.
47 Unic, 7 | him, and by doing other things which he is obliged to do
48 Unic, 7 | I do not know if the things I am saving are nonsense:
49 Unic, 7 | trouble so little about things pertaining to the service
50 Unic, 8 | and it was about these things that I used to think whenever
51 Unic, 8 | struck, than in thinking of things that were good. Again and
52 Unic, 8 | could I really believe that things which my confessors did
53 Unic, 9 | when it came to heavenly things, or to any sublime subject,
54 Unic, 9 | little ability for picturing things in my mind that if I did
55 Unic, 9 | to give me either these things or tenderness in devotion:
56 Unic, 9 | to have less to do with things that were hurtful for me:
57 Unic, 10 | ingratitude to God, on the great things that He has done for us,
58 Unic, 10 | progress often lights upon such things as these, though he may
59 Unic, 10 | necessary for doing great things. For we are so miserable
60 Unic, 10 | much attracted by earthly things that only one who realizes
61 Unic, 10 | detaching himself from the things of this; for it is through
62 Unic, 10 | house and have numerous things to do. If the Lord had given
63 Unic, 10 | recently I have discussed these things with men of great learning
64 Unic, 11 | no attachment to earthly things, and if all our cares and
65 Unic, 11 | spiritual consolations; the two things seem to me incompatible.
66 Unic, 11 | Lord pays no heed to these things: to us they may look like
67 Unic, 11 | its power. There are other things which can be done -- exterior
68 Unic, 11 | confessor advises. In all these things it is important to have
69 Unic, 11 | let God be served in all things. Sweet is His yoke, and
70 Unic, 12 | a good deal about other things, because they seemed to
71 Unic, 12 | this nature are all the things which cause a devotion acquired
72 Unic, 12 | of resolution to do great things for God and it can awaken
73 Unic, 12 | with Him, ask Him for the things it has need of, make complaints
74 Unic, 12 | consideration of the high things of Heaven or of God, and
75 Unic, 12 | came to thinking of earthly things God granted me grace to
76 Unic, 12 | much more as to heavenly things! Other persons will profit
77 Unic, 12 | been curious about such things, as it would have been a
78 Unic, 12 | such as I should speak of things that are His -- things of
79 Unic, 12 | of things that are His -- things of such a nature as these
80 Unic, 13 | courage to attempt great things; the soul may not have the
81 Unic, 13 | strength to achieve these things at once but if it takes
82 Unic, 13 | eat, or to attempt other things of that kind. But we must
83 Unic, 13 | spiritual progress, the smallest things will trouble us as much
84 Unic, 13 | as important and weighty things will trouble others, and
85 Unic, 13 | many other virtues; such things will not kill these wretched
86 Unic, 13 | crosses." And so with other things. I saw clearly that in very
87 Unic, 13 | not see how one of these things could be compatible with
88 Unic, 13 | that I sometimes did such things and at that time they had
89 Unic, 13 | which is pictured in all things. This is an admirable procedure,
90 Unic, 13 | right if we neglect such things, for His Majesty knows better
91 Unic, 13 | lacking in all the three things, and that will be no light
92 Unic, 14 | its covetousness for the things of earth. And small merit
93 Unic, 14 | prayers and all kinds of other things, we can acquire but little
94 Unic, 14 | serve to explain many other things about which mistakes may
95 Unic, 14 | the effects which these things produce in the soul and
96 Unic, 14 | which it is possible to know things on earth: it is always well
97 Unic, 14 | caution, for, even if these things come from God, the devil
98 Unic, 15 | who pass beyond it. The things touched herein are very
99 Unic, 15 | already choosing it for great things if it will prepare itself
100 Unic, 15 | were renouncing the good things of this world was because
101 Unic, 15 | pass away: even were such things everlasting, they would
102 Unic, 16 | Lord, for ever; let all things for ever praise Thee. Be
103 Unic, 16 | alone see some of these things in which I am transgressing
104 Unic, 16 | everything. For he who in all things is truly bold in God's service
105 Unic, 17(139)| realistic way of looking at things, whereas the gastadura reading ("
106 Unic, 17 | is beginning to do great things with the fragrance that
107 Unic, 17 | have fruition of, the great things that He is now doing. It
108 Unic, 17 | trampling underfoot all the things of the world, it is a great
109 Unic, 17 | May He be praised for all things, for ever and ever. Amen.~
110 Unic, 18 | contains most noteworthy things.141~
111 Unic, 18 | it makes use of exterior things for the expression of its
112 Unic, 18 | which are comprised all good things at once, but it cannot comprehend
113 Unic, 18 | union is -- two different things becoming one. O my Lord,
114 Unic, 18 | be Thou for ever! Let all things praise Thee, my God, Who
115 Unic, 18 | understanding is not occupied with things of the earth is amazed at
116 Unic, 18 | Lord, to do such great things for a soul and to bestow
117 Unic, 18 | times that I have said these things and others like them. And
118 Unic, 18 | obedience, that canst do all things! God enlightened my understanding,
119 Unic, 18 | know that God was in all things, and, when He seemed to
120 Unic, 19 | on the way to giving up things that were good and adopting
121 Unic, 19 | other people: they revealed things about me that were true
122 Unic, 19 | my Lord, hast all good things, or any other truth of the
123 Unic, 19 | together with certain other things, I will say nothing about
124 Unic, 19 | there is between the good things of Heaven and those of earth,
125 Unic, 19 | ever, Amen, and may all things praise Him.~
126 Unic, 20 | and begins to reveal to it things concerning the Kingdom that
127 Unic, 20 | a new estrangement from things of earth, which makes life
128 Unic, 20 | itself and above all created things, and God causes it to be
129 Unic, 20 | raised above all created things; I think it is far above
130 Unic, 20 | I really think that, if things are to go on like this,
131 Unic, 20 | with respect to outward things, the subject can still hear
132 Unic, 20 | treats as the worthless things that they are. He who is
133 Unic, 20 | on high157 attains many things. The soul has no desire
134 Unic, 20 | this way, then, that these things actually happen, if the
135 Unic, 20 | soars high above all created things, and above itself first
136 Unic, 20 | willy-nilly, shuts its eyes to things of the world, and opens
137 Unic, 21 | it because He knows all things. This is not as it is in
138 Unic, 21 | impossible for them to permit things which they permit now, or
139 Unic, 21 | shall be able to do all things provided Thou withdraw not
140 Unic, 21 | our happiness not fixed on things of earth, how the distress
141 Unic, 21 | dominion over all earthly things, although there may be no
142 Unic, 21 | helping it to despise the things of this life and to gain
143 Unic, 22 | uplift their spirits to lofty things if they are not so uplifted
144 Unic, 22 | spirit above all created things and causing it to rise aloft
145 Unic, 22 | miseries and with all created things. May His Majesty grant me
146 Unic, 22 | good? Whence have all good things come to me save from Thee?
147 Unic, 22 | myself by revealing to me things which I myself could not
148 Unic, 22 | I do not mean that these things should not be sought after,
149 Unic, 22 | for us and we shall get things done in a very short time
150 Unic, 22 | more, if you discuss these things that I have written about
151 Unic, 23 | attached in certain ways to things which, though not wrong
152 Unic, 23 | warned me that these two things were not consistent, that
153 Unic, 23 | me great harm, divulging things which should have been kept
154 Unic, 23 | and perhaps to do other things (it seems now that he was
155 Unic, 24 | to encourage me to suffer things which persons who knew me,
156 Unic, 24 | And they were right: these things were indeed extreme by comparison
157 Unic, 24 | tried to think of other things, the more completely the
158 Unic, 24 | that there were certain things which could not hurt me;
159 Unic, 25 | deceptive. And there are other things in which the Spirit of God
160 Unic, 25 | can the soul understand things that had never come into
161 Unic, 25 | as I have said, they are things of which the memory has
162 Unic, 25 | means we can understand things which it would probably
163 Unic, 25 | ourselves. And at some of the things which they understand, the
164 Unic, 25 | to whom He grants these things), that it feels able to
165 Unic, 25 | and my heart trouble made things worse, with the result that
166 Unic, 25 | we love Thee.200 Let all things praise Thee, Lord of the
167 Unic, 25 | art to Thy friends! All things fail, but Thou, Lord of
168 Unic, 25 | against me, let all created things persecute me, let the devils
169 Unic, 26 | description and explanation of things which befell her and which
170 Unic, 26 | distressed by the numerous things which arose to take away
171 Unic, 26 | to others, or tell me of things which are to happen three
172 Unic, 26 | better to be quiet about such things. This seemed to me by no
173 Unic, 26 | more about some of these things, I will now go on with the
174 Unic, 27 | when I was troubled by the things that were being said to
175 Unic, 27 | fulfil His will in me in all things. I saw that this road was
176 Unic, 27 | language are such spiritual things that I believe no turmoil
177 Unic, 27 | together with other lofty things, is so clearly explained
178 Unic, 27 | eyes which have looked on things as sinfully as have the
179 Unic, 27 | themselves to look on base things and may nothing content
180 Unic, 27 | without being made worse by things like this.215 No scandal
181 Unic, 27 | intelligent. There are many other things which I should like to say
182 Unic, 27(220)| 1]: "I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We
183 Unic, 27 | and he spoke of many other things as well. One of his appearances
184 Unic, 27 | name and not be heard. Many things which I have commended to
185 Unic, 27 | to pay no esteem to the things of this life, as though
186 Unic, 28 | to go to him about these things that I cannot imagine how
187 Unic, 28 | them was whether certain things were sinful or no: as for
188 Unic, 28 | powerful, and can do all things and commands all things,
189 Unic, 28 | things and commands all things, and rules all things, and
190 Unic, 28 | all things, and rules all things, and fills all things with
191 Unic, 28 | all things, and fills all things with His love.~
192 Unic, 28 | for us to see in a moment things of which we have no recollection,
193 Unic, 28 | talk to me. Some of the things I said to them I expressed
194 Unic, 28 | This state of things went on for a long time
195 Unic, 29 | Lord showed her and the things which His Majesty said to
196 Unic, 29 | For two years and a half things went on like this and it
197 Unic, 29 | that people were saying things to them against me. None
198 Unic, 29 | exchange them for all the good things and delights of this world.
199 Unic, 29 | because I saw that that made things worse, as they thought me
200 Unic, 30 | penitential life: among other things, I have been assured that
201 Unic, 30 | well as doing those other things of which something has already
202 Unic, 30 | talking to her about certain things, because for a multitude
203 Unic, 30 | most dubious and suspicious things about myself: indeed, in
204 Unic, 30 | talking to me about these things. For if the Lord brings
205 Unic, 30 | sometimes by making use of things so trifling that at any
206 Unic, 30 | which he presents to it -- things of no importance, which
207 Unic, 30 | still, they would say such things to me, and reprove me with
208 Unic, 30 | me the stupidity of the things I had been saying and doing.
209 Unic, 30 | well-disposed to all good things; but this understanding
210 Unic, 30 | occupies itself with evil things, but only with indifferent
211 Unic, 30 | ones, looking round for things to think about here, there
212 Unic, 30 | them and thinking of the things it will do: it cannot remain
213 Unic, 30 | or doing other trifling things which I am ashamed of. If
214 Unic, 30 | May He be blessed for all things and may the angels glorify
215 Unic, 31 | kingdom and to have all things under its feet. This happened
216 Unic, 31 | afraid of, for only two things could happen -- people would
217 Unic, 31 | said nothing about these things even to my confessors, for
218 Unic, 31 | them give up all external things for God. Then they see in
219 Unic, 31 | contemplation a description of things which we must do in order
220 Unic, 31 | cannot manage to do all these things, they lose courage. I refer
221 Unic, 31 | courage. I refer to such things as not caring if people
222 Unic, 31 | wearisome; and many other things of that kind. These, I think,
223 Unic, 31 | always be talking of the things I should have liked, and
224 Unic, 31 | and who do such wonderful things that everyone is astonished
225 Unic, 31 | set to work and root out things which are of little or no
226 Unic, 31 | could have taught me these things, but I did not ask them
227 Unic, 31 | trouble over such trifling things, to which God attaches importance
228 Unic, 31 | desiring them to know of these things -- not out of humility,
229 Unic, 31 | Creator, if only amid so many things that are evil I had a few
230 Unic, 32 | and despair are the worst things of all.~
231 Unic, 32 | another vision of frightful things, which are the punishment
232 Unic, 32 | refrain from doing certain things which I see tolerated and
233 Unic, 32 | vision, and other great things and secrets which, being
234 Unic, 32 | to go and visit them. So things went on until I was able
235 Unic, 32 | to some of the nuns the things taught me by the people
236 Unic, 32 | by it. He told me certain things which I was to say to my
237 Unic, 32 | in the matter. And while things were in that position, and
238 Unic, 32 | other ways of arranging things for us and would give us
239 Unic, 33 | occasioned. He said other things, too, all of them very distressing.
240 Unic, 33 | which he had acquired of things supernatural. And God brought
241 Unic, 33 | him or had been told great things about him, it would not
242 Unic, 33 | this, as for many other things, the Lord has given him
243 Unic, 33 | not hinder me. Some of the things I said made them afraid,
244 Unic, 33 | occasion, and this time things might be even worse. Getting
245 Unic, 33 | there were so many different things to do that I wonder now
246 Unic, 33 | Thou commandest me to do things which seem impossible? If
247 Unic, 33 | little house, and worked things out, and found that it would
248 Unic, 33 | that house and of other things concerning my wicked life,
249 Unic, 33 | so different from earthly things of the kind that no comparison
250 Unic, 33 | out very well. As to the things which have happened since,
251 Unic, 34 | Lord must have allowed such things to try me to some extent
252 Unic, 34 | feel when I discussed these things with him and with the Rector
253 Unic, 34 | He told me to say certain things to him. I was troubled about
254 Unic, 34 | immersed in Him that, so far as things of earth are concerned,
255 Unic, 34 | advantage. For in spiritual things he has had a great deal
256 Unic, 34 | not mean that these latter things are unimportant but that
257 Unic, 34 | are bound to understand things that cannot possibly be
258 Unic, 34 | astonished at this or think such things are impossible: everything
259 Unic, 34 | good, and has done other things for him as well. He seems,
260 Unic, 34 | number of very wonderful things about him and about the
261 Unic, 34 | Lord has taught certain things which He287 had previously
262 Unic, 34(287)| Teresa could have learned things from the Dominican which
263 Unic, 34 | telling him about certain things concerning prayer. There
264 Unic, 34 | happily and had done other things which tended greatly to
265 Unic, 35 | describes several other things that happened to her.~
266 Unic, 35 | ridiculous and tell me not to do things which would cause suffering
267 Unic, 35 | confusion, and said other things in praise of poverty, and
268 Unic, 35 | afraid of being without these things. The Lord also changed the
269 Unic, 35 | natural reason and make all things possible, thus showing clearly
270 Unic, 35 | he loves Thee and not the things of the world -- will not
271 Unic, 36 | over two years -- all these things fled from my memory as if
272 Unic, 36 | then my soul would be lost. Things of this kind he suggested
273 Unic, 36 | thought carefully about the things of life, we should each
274 Unic, 36 | enclosure, penance and other things of that sort I find extremely
275 Unic, 36 | Bishop's affair, and other things of that kind. This did a
276 Unic, 36 | again. He said various other things as well. That same night
277 Unic, 36 | he told me among other things how great was his fruition,
278 Unic, 36 | who was helping us managed things for us very well. He had
279 Unic, 36 | Rule. Yet many of these things seem to the sisters very
280 Unic, 36(327)| visit it in order to put things straight, which she did
281 Unic, 36 | sent us and what marvellous things He has wrought. There are
282 Unic, 36 | many, contrived to arrange things for the best. That this
283 Unic, 37 | shall speak of some of these things to His glory. May it please
284 Unic, 37 | This and other things, as it chanced, I was saying,
285 Unic, 37 | excuses are made for all such things? It might be thought only
286 Unic, 37 | often changing. If these things could be learned once and
287 Unic, 38 | and mother, and such great things happened in so short a time --
288 Unic, 38 | troubled me to speak of such things, I never dared to keep silence
289 Unic, 38 | esteemed and considered all the things of this life as of little
290 Unic, 38 | nor a single one of those things which I learned from the
291 Unic, 38 | Lord had shown me wonderful things, and it seemed as if He
292 Unic, 38 | that people esteem such things, remembering what the Lord
293 Unic, 38 | to set any store by these things, even if I tried to make
294 Unic, 38 | shows it such excellent things, seems to me very much like
295 Unic, 38 | possession of all these good things in a single instant. We
296 Unic, 38 | truth and have put aside the things of this world death must
297 Unic, 38 | if we think upon heavenly things and try to have our conversation
298 Unic, 38 | cross to carry, for all the things they have are powerless
299 Unic, 38 | and told me a number of things. He was such a man of prayer
300 Unic, 38 | comfort, and He added other things to warn him of what was
301 Unic, 38 | itself, I have seen great things. On several occasions I
302 Unic, 38 | I say, I have seen other things concerning them which give
303 Unic, 38 | had no desires for vain things, I was clearly shown here
304 Unic, 38 | praise Thee, Who measurest things by our weakness, so that,
305 Unic, 38 | occasions when I saw the things that I shall now describe?
306 Unic, 38 | distraught, as I recall these things to my memory. If these feelings
307 Unic, 38 | seeing a great many such things. But from none of the visions
308 Unic, 39 | from my distress. While things were in that position, I
309 Unic, 39 | doing other such notable things, the favours which He has
310 Unic, 39 | when it comes to other things which His Majesty means
311 Unic, 39 | bestowed on me and the numerous things to which, had I looked only
312 Unic, 39 | attached. But He Who sees things in their true light looked
313 Unic, 39 | Speaking of seeing things in their true light, I call
314 Unic, 39 | from me and some of the things I say will come from me
315 Unic, 39 | we often try to interpret things in our own way, as if they
316 Unic, 39 | as if they were worldly things, and distort their true
317 Unic, 39 | any more resolutions to do things for God than a few of no
318 Unic, 39 | attribute importance to things we do for the Lord which,
319 Unic, 39 | I began to think of the things which I had gone through.
320 Unic, 39 | side, had done all the good things, and I had done all the
321 Unic, 39 | and I had done all the bad things, and so I stopped thinking
322 Unic, 39 | and pleasures and other things of that kind, it is clear
323 Unic, 39 | all the time in thought to things that were not perfect, and
324 Unic, 39 | tenderly, as well as other things in which He was very gracious
325 Unic, 39 | it. I felt that all the things that can be desired were
326 Unic, 40 | small thing, but one of the things for which thou art greatly
327 Unic, 40 | desire to speak only of things which are very true and
328 Unic, 40 | yet I grasped these latter things more clearly than others
329 Unic, 40 | great gain and leaves such things as this imprinted upon it!
330 Unic, 40 | abhorred lying, yet in many things I allowed myself to deal
331 Unic, 40 | unable, even in outward things, to return to itself; two
332 Unic, 40 | reached this stage, many things will occur which it will
333 Unic, 40 | experience of all these things, and without experience
334 Unic, 40 | perfect clarity, how all things are seen in God and how
335 Unic, 40 | of time, to see so many things at once in the clear depths
