I say "with works" because there 136 Unic, 21 | in mine -- and I cannot say more than that, for I had 137 Unic, 21 | trampled beneath its feet.

As we might say in conversation: "A little 145 Unic, 23 | pleasant and gracious, not to say upright and holy, that it 146 Unic, 23 | for this cleric who, as I say, was such a servant of God 147 Unic, 23 | not yet fledged, as they say, is to begin to make progress 148 Unic, 23 | will benefit many souls, I say this here, for my whole 149 Unic, 23 | experienced many such, as I shall say later: it may seem unimportant 150 Unic, 23 | least from whatever he might say, because if I had no one 151 Unic, 23 | of Jesus, although, as I say, I have followed them imperfectly. 152 Unic, 25 | at the first word, as I say, it is completely changed. 153 Unic, 25 | received this favour, and to say it has understood something 154 Unic, 25 | himself might equally well say that he heard it with his 155 Unic, 25 | tortures me, as I shall say later, it is of such a nature 156 Unic, 25 | I mean what I say when I describe them as 157 Unic, 25 | find itself stopping to say "If God says this to me, 158 Unic, 25 | tempting it.

He would say what He pleased to me and 160 Unic, 25 | to be still, and I would say to myself: "Who is this, 161 Unic, 25 | see the devils, as I shall say later, I have hardly ever 162 Unic, 25 | the devil, the devil we say, when we might be saying " 163 Unic, 26 | most evident, which, as I say, cannot be hidden.~ 164 Unic, 26 | learned, but if we do what I say we cannot run into danger 165 Unic, 26 | spirit, to keep silence and say nothing about them to anyone, 166 Unic, 26 | the help of God, I shall say more about some of these 167 Unic, 27 | explain it better. For, if I say that I do not see Him with 168 Unic, 27 | a suitable comparison to say that it is as if a person 169 Unic, 27 | the effects which, as I say, He produces in the soul, 170 Unic, 27 | unless I am commanded to say more I propose to refer 171 Unic, 27 | that what it is possible to say is the smallest part of 172 Unic, 27 | equal the least of these, to say nothing of the blessings 173 Unic, 27 | fraction of what there is to say. I have only said what is 174 Unic, 27 | into practice what they say about the little esteem 175 Unic, 27 | forty-seven years! I will say something about this, for 176 Unic, 27 | things which I should like to say about him but I am afraid 177 Unic, 27 | to me, for everything I say tells against myself. May 178 Unic, 28 | attempt here. I will only say that, if there were nothing 179 Unic, 28 | Those who know better than I say that the type of vision 180 Unic, 28 | The last-named type, they say, is the lowest and the most 181 Unic, 28 | not think one thing and say another for the whole world. 182 Unic, 28 | I should like now to say something of the way in 183 Unic, 28 | to be spoon-fed, as they say, if it is to retain anything. 184 Unic, 28 | clear from what I shall now say. If, in a vision, the representation 185 Unic, 28 | believing anything I might say to him, and they gave him 186 Unic, 28 | which I obeyed him. He would say that, if I did this, the 187 Unic, 28 | I endured everything. I say this so that it may be realized 188 Unic, 29 | of my necessities, as I say, and those of others -- 189 Unic, 29 | unable to do so, began to say that it was clear I was 190 Unic, 29 | teaching me what I was to say to my critics; and this 191 Unic, 29 | love; it must not, as they say, be driven at the point 192 Unic, 30 | suffering -- that is to say, the opposition of good 193 Unic, 30 | But, on the whole, as I say, I was greatly comforted. 194 Unic, 30 | experiences of Him. To go and say its prayers, or to be alone, 195 Unic, 30 | consulting still, they would say such things to me, and reprove 196 Unic, 30 | want to see it free, so I say to the Lord: "When, my God, 197 Unic, 30 | following the crowd, as they say, without experiencing either 198 Unic, 30 | know if I am doing right to say so much about trifles. As 199 Unic, 31 | attentively. It is, let us say, as if someone very hot 200 Unic, 31 | but of this benefit I will say nothing lest I should write 201 Unic, 31 | hardly let him breathe, as we say: the more highly they think 202 Unic, 31 | subject to them. And so, as I say, he needs great courage. 203 Unic, 31 | experience here, I will say something to Your Reverence 204 Unic, 31 | will cling to us, if, as I say, God has not given us the 205 Unic, 31 | let him believe what I say and put this attachment 206 Unic, 31 | comes to the soul. Some will say: "I have nothing to forgo: 207 Unic, 32 | possible to endure, the doctors say, such as the shrinking of 208 Unic, 32 | with what I felt then, to say nothing of the knowledge 209 Unic, 32 | forcibly describe it. To say that it is as if the soul 210 Unic, 32 | Since that time, as I say, everything has seemed light 211 Unic, 32 | confessor this257 and to say that it was He Who was giving 212 Unic, 32 | certain things which I was to say to my companion, and to 213 Unic, 32 | and, whatever people might say to her, nothing would persuade 214 Unic, 32 | own part, although, as I say, the abandonment of the 215 Unic, 32 | consider what he should say to us, to think over the 216 Unic, 33 | to me in great concern to say that these were bad times 217 Unic, 33 | Dominican Father, who, as I say, was a very learned man, 218 Unic, 33 | rely on anything he might say to me. I told him, as clearly 219 Unic, 33 | anything. And I too could say the same thing; for previously 220 Unic, 33 | with mine, although, as I say, I do not know how this 221 Unic, 33 | Sometimes in my distress I would say: "My Lord, how is it that 222 Unic, 33 | earth looks, as one might say, like a smudge of soot.~ 223 Unic, 34 | sorely afraid that they would say something about it to the 224 Unic, 34 | and that I ought not to say anything about them. He 225 Unic, 34 | begged of Him. He told me to say certain things to him. I 226 Unic, 34 | as I had no idea how to say them, and the thing I most 227 Unic, 34 | religious, until, as one might say, he hardly knows himself. 228 Unic, 34 | not think it suitable to say more about this just now, 229 Unic, 35 | ever agree with me, but say I was being ridiculous and 230 Unic, 35 | Him. For my own part, as I say, I was never afraid of being 231 Unic, 35 | become Superior, and, as I say, I could not persuade myself 232 Unic, 35 | contrary feelings: that is to say, I was rejoicing and being 233 Unic, 35 | As I say, I could not understand 234 Unic, 36 | had understood the Lord to say I should have to bear.~ 235 Unic, 36 | their whole weight, as we say, into smashing us. It was 236 Unic, 36 | something about this, I will say no more here than that on 237 Unic, 36 | with me so that we might say the Office and instruct 238 Unic, 36 | When we had started to say the Office, the people began 239 Unic, 37 | It is painful to me to say more of the favours which 240 Unic, 37 | degree of fruition. I can say, then, that if I were asked 241 Unic, 37 | making mistakes, and, as I say, these are never overlooked 242 Unic, 37 | observances. But no; they say that convents should be 243 Unic, 38 | he might laugh at me and say: "What a Saint Paul she 244 Unic, 38 | which reason it is better to say no more about it.~ 245 Unic, 38 | where I used often to say my prayers, and began to 246 Unic, 38 | in their hands, and, as I say, I have seen other things 247 Unic, 38 | my Glory, I am going to say that in some measure these 248 Unic, 38 | me, my Lord, I might well say that I had done something 249 Unic, 38 | I will say no more of these matters, 250 Unic, 39 | type of prayer, we might say, is like vocal prayer; the 251 Unic, 39 | far, how very far! I could say it a thousand times -- am 252 Unic, 39 | places where I distinctly say "I was told this" or "The 253 Unic, 39 | and some of the things I say will come from me altogether. 254 Unic, 39 | my deserving it.
