98 Unic, 11 | A nice way of seeking the love of God
99 Unic, 11 | that people who act in this way should have many spiritual
100 Unic, 11 | follow Christ must take the way which He took, unless they
101 Unic, 11 | sometimes drawn it in this way: it is less laborious than
102 Unic, 11 | with no labour of ours, a way incomparably better than
103 Unic, 11 | seemed possible to me in this way to explain something about
104 Unic, 11 | grant me to speak in such a way as to be of some profit
105 Unic, 11 | pleased to lead us in this way so that we may have a clear
106 Unic, 11 | Let Thy will be in every way fulfilled in me, and may
107 Unic, 11 | walk resolutely in this way of mental prayer and can
108 Unic, 11 | of favours: this is the way in which God is leading
109 Unic, 11 | themselves and go on their way. Let them believe that they
110 Unic, 11 | instead of going on their way with freedom of spirit,
111 Unic, 12 | needs. This is an excellent way of making progress, and
112 Unic, 12 | persons will profit in this way, especially if they are
113 Unic, 12 | without reasoning in any way, it can understand more
114 Unic, 12 | everything in a moment, in a way that amazes me. I can truthfully
115 Unic, 12 | speak about it in such a way that people were astounded.
116 Unic, 13 | their benefit in such a way as to disorganize the soul
117 Unic, 13 | put temptation in others' way. This I found out for myself --
118 Unic, 13 | than ourselves. In this way we shall begin to profit,
119 Unic, 13 | better. Those who walk in the way of prayer have the greater
120 Unic, 14 | now speak of the second way of drawing it which is ordained
121 Unic, 14 | to which it could in no way attain by its own exertions.
122 Unic, 14 | alone is occupied, in such a way that, without knowing how,
123 Unic, 14 | it, as He led me, by the way of fear, and there is no
124 Unic, 14 | song, though in a different way; for my debt to God is much
125 Unic, 15 | soul does not grow in the way the body does, though we
126 Unic, 15 | walk from the first in the way of the Cross. For the Lord
127 Unic, 15 | Lord Himself showed us this way of perfection when He said: "
128 Unic, 15 | the light given us in this way by the Lord. This produces
129 Unic, 16 | fashion to talk in this way: even preachers nowadays
130 Unic, 17 | grows and ripens in such a way that, if the Lord wills,
131 Unic, 17(139)| with St. Teresa's realistic way of looking at things, whereas
132 Unic, 17 | business. It works in this way. A person may have so far
133 Unic, 17 | fear and to walk in the way of the Lord with the greater
134 Unic, 17 | grants me this favour in this way). God constrains the will,
135 Unic, 17 | being torn to pieces in this way, and quite helpless?" This
136 Unic, 17 | which has bound us in this way so that we cannot do as
137 Unic, 17 | often tormented in this way. Here we have a picture
138 Unic, 18 | describe in an excellent way140 the great dignity conferred
139 Unic, 18 | free or able to act in any way, either outwardly or inwardly.
140 Unic, 18 | The way in which this that we call
141 Unic, 18 | great favours, there is no way of doing it, though sometimes
142 Unic, 18 | While seeking God in this way, the soul becomes conscious
143 Unic, 18 | are suspended in such a way that, as I have said, it
144 Unic, 19 | contrary, I was well on the way to giving up things that
145 Unic, 19 | having been tempted in this way for some time, I was reciting
146 Unic, 19 | but, as I had not lost my way, I continued upon it, first
147 Unic, 19 | the same. To lose one's way seems to be the same thing
148 Unic, 19 | occasions of sin in any way whatsoever. This should
149 Unic, 19 | abandoning prayer, in the way he tricked me, by inspiring
150 Unic, 20 | near to Him in a practical way, the Lord gathers up the
151 Unic, 20 | heard that it is in this way that the clouds or the sun
152 Unic, 20 | exact one, but that is the way it actually happens.~
153 Unic, 20 | is manifested in such a way that the hair stands on
154 Unic, 20 | unexpectedly arises, in a way which I cannot explain.

159 Unic, 20 | itself, the soul seeks a way to live quite contrarily

161 Unic, 20 | as I have said, is in no way acquired by me) for any
162 Unic, 20 | dimly, as though from a long way off. I do not say that he
163 Unic, 20 | It is in this way, then, that these things
164 Unic, 20 | that this state is in no way due to itself, nor does
165 Unic, 21 | who can speak of it in a way very different from mine.

167 Unic, 21 | are walking and the blind way in which we act.~

169 Unic, 21 | Thy handmaiden may in some way serve Thee. There have been
170 Unic, 21 | them began to walk in the way of perfection. Yet this
171 Unic, 21 | distinguish from a long way off, and quite clearly,
172 Unic, 21 | work in the soul in such a way that there remains little
173 Unic, 21 | them nor will it in any way move them; on the contrary,
174 Unic, 22 | supernatural, it can get some way towards it by raising the
175 Unic, 22 | my soul was in a very bad way until the Lord gave it light:
176 Unic, 22 | possible that in such a way I should gain more! How
177 Unic, 22 | Reverence must seek no other way: that way alone is safe.
178 Unic, 22 | seek no other way: that way alone is safe. It is through
179 Unic, 22 | come. He will show us the way; we must look at His life --
180 Unic, 22 | thinking of Him in this way, it becomes very easy to
181 Unic, 22 | this, for it is in this way that God has led my soul.
182 Unic, 22 | people, according to the way in which they allow His
183 Unic, 22 | make progress in the same way -- by quieting the understanding
184 Unic, 22 | instead of gaining in this way, they will lose, as I have
185 Unic, 23 | on for some time in this way, until, after experiencing
186 Unic, 23 | some days to live in this way, but found that my soul
187 Unic, 23 | cousins. It was in this way that I arranged for this
188 Unic, 23 | without prayer. Whichever way I looked, then, I was beset
189 Unic, 23 | soul, to judge from the way that his words impressed
190 Unic, 23 | determination not to depart in any way from what he commanded me
191 Unic, 24 | more, for he led me by the way of love for God, which brought
192 Unic, 24 | of the holiness of their way of life brought my soul
193 Unic, 25 | which may occur here and the way to recognize them. This
194 Unic, 25 | But when God talks in this way to the soul, there is no
195 Unic, 25 | thought there was any other way of hearing or understanding
196 Unic, 25 | delight -- and not the other way round. Not a fig205 shall
197 Unic, 26 | of reproof to me in this way, and He does so still when
198 Unic, 26 | are to read and do, in a way that is unforgettable! Who
199 Unic, 27 | XXVII - Treats of another way in which the Lord teaches
200 Unic, 27 | me by another and a surer way, since, as they told me,
201 Unic, 27 | desire to be led by another way, yet, when I saw how much
202 Unic, 27 | either lead me by another way or make plain the truth:
203 Unic, 27 | is the same with another way in which God teaches the
204 Unic, 27 | Consider carefully this way in which God causes the
205 Unic, 27 | present to me, comes in this way; for the reasons I have
206 Unic, 27 | since He has dealt in such a way with me and brought me to
207 Unic, 27 | ever? That is not the right way. We are going astray, far
208 Unic, 27 | to Him in every possible way, according to their power
209 Unic, 27 | although when I speak in this way I may succeed only in tiring
210 Unic, 28 | to say something of the way in which the Lord reveals
211 Unic, 28 | soul in a most supernatural way by sending it into a rapture
212 Unic, 28 | and, as they come in this way, the eyes of the soul see
213 Unic, 28 | Humanity. And in the other way which has been described
214 Unic, 28 | Lord Himself to me in this way, by making a false likeness
215 Unic, 28 | imagination. There is no way in which this could be so:
216 Unic, 28 | case, there is no other way in which it would be possible
217 Unic, 28 | could possibly be in any way responsible for this will
218 Unic, 28 | leading these persons by that way, they were afraid and thought
219 Unic, 28 | were talking to me in this way that if they were to tell
220 Unic, 28 | fearful, I obeyed him in every way, though imperfectly. For
221 Unic, 28 | account when he was in no way blameworthy.~
222 Unic, 28 | nothing when described in this way, it was one of the worst
223 Unic, 29 | are discussing there is no way of doing this: we have to
224 Unic, 29 | or adding to it, or any way in which we can obtain it,
225 Unic, 29 | that. It reminded me of the way the Jews had insulted Him,
226 Unic, 29 | test my visions in this way, and to resist them, the
227 Unic, 29 | reassured me in another way, by teaching me what I was
228 Unic, 29 | to see God and I knew no way of seeking that life save
229 Unic, 29 | suffice to describe the way in which God wounds the
230 Unic, 29 | this angel in the following way. He was not tall, but short,
231 Unic, 30 | and kind to me in every way and ever afterwards took
232 Unic, 30 | should tempt you in this way, you may have some light,
233 Unic, 30 | however, been tempted in this way -- once, I remember, on
234 Unic, 30 | should be borne, but in a way which is most imperfect.~
235 Unic, 30 | fragment seeming to go its own way." This is an experience
236 Unic, 30 | me to serve God in some way, but I am useless except
237 Unic, 30 | If I did anything in the way of penance, it was all so
238 Unic, 31 | He told me in a horrible way that I had indeed escaped
239 Unic, 31 | keep on suffering in this way until the very end of the
240 Unic, 31 | disquiet: I could find no way of regaining my tranquillity.
241 Unic, 31 | being offended in such a way. I promised him that I would
242 Unic, 31(244)| St. Teresa's inconsequent way of writing. An idea comes
243 Unic, 31 | own Order and was a long way away; it is the distance
244 Unic, 31 | manage, indirectly or in any way that I could, to make him
245 Unic, 31 | God allows to walk in this way in the sight of the whole
246 Unic, 31 | can ever do wrong and the way it perfects them by speaking
247 Unic, 31 | necessary for following the way of perfection, if one is
248 Unic, 31 | something to Your Reverence by way of counsel. Do not think,
249 Unic, 32 | there. Begins to tell of the way and means whereby the convent
250 Unic, 32 | What I have said is in no way an exaggeration.~
251 Unic, 32 | comparison with this; so, in a way, I think we complain without
252 Unic, 32 | having been envious in such a way as grievously to offend
253 Unic, 32 | I desired to find some way and means of doing penance
254 Unic, 32 | quite possible to find a way of establishing a convent.
255 Unic, 32 | She began to think out a way to find the money for such
256 Unic, 32 | put before me, in such a way that I saw that they were
257 Unic, 32 | humanly speaking, there was no way of putting it into practice,
258 Unic, 32 | plan and sought some other way. But the Lord showed me
259 Unic, 32 | Lord showed me no other way than this. Later, this servant
260 Unic, 32 | that were prompting us, the way we were setting to work
261 Unic, 32 | always helped us in this way, as I shall show later.~
262 Unic, 33 | accomplished in another way. As the Provincial would
263 Unic, 33 | suggested that I had in some way been acting against his
264 Unic, 33 | and strengthened me, in a way that need not here be described,
265 Unic, 33 | wrote to Rome and sought a way out.~
266 Unic, 33 | soul would be in a very bad way if there were anything about
267 Unic, 33 | all about my visions, my way of prayer and the great
268 Unic, 33 | In one way, I was very sorry when he
269 Unic, 33 | was being led in the right way. When he came back, his
270 Unic, 33 | being constrained in this way; I did not, however, depart
271 Unic, 33 | contact with him has in every way been of great benefit to
272 Unic, 33 | wherewithal, so there was no way of buying it, and I could
273 Unic, 33 | everything happened in such a way that I could never doubt
274 Unic, 34 | to the Lord in that silly way in which I often speak to
275 Unic, 34 | And after praying in that way, I remember saying these
276 Unic, 34 | that I could talk in this way with such a person, but
277 Unic, 34 | at all. Toiling in this way, in fact, is their profession.
278 Unic, 34 | time, when I was a long way from here,288 I saw him
279 Unic, 34 | too, would die in the same way and that I must go to see
280 Unic, 34 | to me in amazement at the way in which it had all been
281 Unic, 35 | happening to come this way, went some leagues out of
282 Unic, 35 | Rule and realized that its way was that of greater perfection,
283 Unic, 35 | good to my soul or see any way in which it possibly could.
284 Unic, 35 | that this was clearly the way of greatest perfection;
285 Unic, 35 | will disappear. In the same way, although I wanted to feel
286 Unic, 35 | afraid to set out upon the way of perfection. May the Lord,
287 Unic, 35 | press ever forward on the way of God. Our eyes must be
288 Unic, 36 | leaving that city I went on my way very happily, resolved to
289 Unic, 36 | saintly old man and the way he urged first one person
290 Unic, 36(309)| fell ill at Avila on his way back: Do-a Juana was, of
291 Unic, 36 | learned men, lest in any way whatever I should act against
292 Unic, 36 | have trials, this was the way to win merit; and if I was
293 Unic, 36 | matter and helped in every way he could. He suffered many
294 Unic, 36(325)| certain obstacles in the way of his granting this permission,
295 Unic, 36 | the best. That this is the way which suits us will be evident
296 Unic, 37 | afraid that I might in some way become attached to them
297 Unic, 37 | by itself, but finds no way of kindling the fire of
298 Unic, 38 | pictured to it, but there is no way in which it may do so, nor
299 Unic, 38 | when I try to discover a way of doing so, I find it impossible;
300 Unic, 38 | I was meditating in this way a strong impulse seized
301 Unic, 38 | at least, there was no way of telling that it was in
302 Unic, 38 | although not in the same way as in the first vision.
303 Unic, 38 | dignities. This is a wonderful way of teaching the soul to
304 Unic, 38 | revealed him to me in that way, I could not help feeling
305 Unic, 38 | him -- for he died a long way from here. It was one which
306 Unic, 39 | embedded in it, in such a way that in drawing out the
307 Unic, 39 | not granted in a better way than I could have planned;
308 Unic, 39 | This showed me clearly the way in which, as I firmly believe,
309 Unic, 39 | interpret things in our own way, as if they were worldly
310 Unic, 39 | will be deceived in this way for long if he has a gift
311 Unic, 39 | been accomplished in this way and thinking over the trials

313 Unic, 39 | in almost exactly that way, whereupon I realized that

315 Unic, 39 | this, but learned it in a way I cannot explain) was the
316 Unic, 39 | but begins to walk in the way of the Lord with a new purity.
317 Unic, 40 | As I meditated in this way, my soul began to be more
318 Unic, 40 | I saw nothing, but, in a way which I cannot explain,
319 Unic, 40 | His Majesty and Power in a way which it is impossible to
320 Unic, 40 | greatness. This is an obscure way of putting the clear truth
321 Unic, 40 | clear that this is the best way: we need not go to Heaven,
322 Unic, 40 | so subtle and delicate a way that the understanding cannot
323 Unic, 40 | Once He told me, by way of consolation, not to worry --
324 Unic, 40 | would comfort me in such a way that it is nothing to me
