8 Unic, 1 | tried to be alone when I said my prayers, and there were
9 Unic, 1 | given me, and which were said to be many, instead of giving
10 Unic, 2 | good. My mother, as I have said, was very good herself,
11 Unic, 2 | nothing could have been said about it with any certainty.
12 Unic, 3 | a thing when I had once said I would do it. He was so
13 Unic, 4 | by experience, as I have said, in many very serious matters;
14 Unic, 4 | other kinds of illness and said they could also cure mine
15 Unic, 4 | of mine, which, as I have said, was on the road, and he
16 Unic, 4 | offending God as the book said one should be, I passed
17 Unic, 5 | that I was discontented and said so. I was fond of everything
18 Unic, 5 | in the place where, as I said, I was staying with my sister
19 Unic, 5 | gravest offenses. As I have said, I would not at that time
20 Unic, 5 | Nervous pains, as the doctors said, are intolerable, and, as
21 Unic, 6 | nothing but bones. As I have said, I remained in this condition
22 Unic, 6 | I should not like to be said of me. I was extremely particular
23 Unic, 6 | I began by having Masses said for me, and prayers which
24 Unic, 6 | Who would have said that I should fall so soon,
25 Unic, 7 | that I set them, as I have said, I was the cause of a great
26 Unic, 7 | very virtuous, as I have said he was, he took so well
27 Unic, 7 | began to pray, as I have said, I had this desire that
28 Unic, 7 | caused him great anguish. I said to him that, as he used
29 Unic, 7 | I do not know why I have said this, unless it be to blame
30 Unic, 8 | this is, as I have already said, to make evident God's mercy
31 Unic, 8 | and pleasures by those who said that these were lawful.~
32 Unic, 10 | used sometimes, as I have said, to experience in an elementary
33 Unic, 10 | that what I have thus far said concerning my wicked life
34 Unic, 11 | which something is here said. This is most profitable
35 Unic, 11 | the well: this, as I have said, is a very laborious proceeding,
36 Unic, 11 | evil guest, the body. I said we must observe discretion,
37 Unic, 12 | For this reason, as I have said, we must not be troubled
38 Unic, 12 | this myself, for, as I have said, I had no ability for it,
39 Unic, 12 | and if what I have already said cannot be understood I do
40 Unic, 12 | great importance, I have said a good deal about it. I
41 Unic, 13 | circumstances in which, as I have said, it is permissible for us
42 Unic, 13 | but I strove, as I have said, to practise prayer and
43 Unic, 13 | realize it. When, as I have said, I tried to get others to
44 Unic, 13 | derived any profit from what I said to them;116 whereas, now
45 Unic, 13 | explain myself, as I have said, except at the cost of many
46 Unic, 13 | I have said this because some people
47 Unic, 13 | practise prayer. I have already said that a spiritual director
48 Unic, 14 | which there is, as I have said, between this particular
49 Unic, 15 | possess it. I have already said that, in this first state
50 Unic, 15 | saying, because, as I have said, I am judging from my own
51 Unic, 15 | for this, for, as I have said, I know many souls who attain
52 Unic, 15 | Otherwise, as I have just said, let them fear and tremble
53 Unic, 15 | make any noise, as I have said, in its search for these
54 Unic, 15 | the latter case, as I have said, we try of our own accord
55 Unic, 15 | For, as I have already said -- and I should not like
56 Unic, 15 | way of perfection when He said: "Take up thy cross and
57 Unic, 16 | so that He may almost be said to be the gardener Himself,
58 Unic, 17 | reasonable amount has been said concerning this mode of
59 Unic, 17 | developed in it, as I have said. It seems that the Lord
60 Unic, 17 | in due time, as I have said, you will rejoice greatly
61 Unic, 18 | dead to the world. As I said, it retains sufficient sense
62 Unic, 18 | inwardly. Previously, as I have said, they were permitted to
63 Unic, 18 | receiving them, as I have said, a person has no power to
64 Unic, 18 | pass many times that I have said these things and others
65 Unic, 18 | that time, when the Lord said these words to me: "It dies
66 Unic, 18 | such a way that, as I have said, it is impossible to believe
67 Unic, 19 | wicked, that, as I have said, for a year and a half I
68 Unic, 19 | they were justified. They said that I wanted to become
69 Unic, 19 | faithful handmaidens, as I have said, should not be given the
70 Unic, 19 | hardly know what I have said. It cannot be otherwise,
71 Unic, 19 | was he who, as I think I said, made me communicate once
72 Unic, 19 | lost. But when, as I have said, the soul falls, let it
73 Unic, 19 | false humility, as I have said, and as I should like to
74 Unic, 20 | worries and after all (I said) His Majesty could grant
75 Unic, 20 | producing the latter, as I have said, we can take no part, though
76 Unic, 20 | literally, as the Royal Prophet said, when he was in the same
77 Unic, 20 | from Heaven is, as I have said, a knowledge of God so wonderful,
78 Unic, 20 | certainly does (as I have said, I have several times found
79 Unic, 20 | His hand, and, as I have said, is in no way acquired by
80 Unic, 20 | nor perceive; but, as I said in describing the preceding
81 Unic, 20 | happens to me is that, as I said of the preceding state of
82 Unic, 20 | them; if, as I have already said, they are occasionally open,
83 Unic, 21 | cries to his; and, as I have said on other occasions, it begs
84 Unic, 21 | sometimes His will, as I have said, to manifest His greatness
85 Unic, 21 | the contrary, as I have said, it will help them and be
86 Unic, 22 | to them: for this was not said to the Mother of God, though
87 Unic, 22 | Humanity, in Whom, His Majesty said, He is well pleased. Very,
88 Unic, 22 | it, as I believe I have said already. This little mote
89 Unic, 22 | to do as I have already said: we must not show ourselves
90 Unic, 22 | out of itself, as I have said.~
91 Unic, 22 | contemplation, as I have said, it realizes its unworthiness,
92 Unic, 22 | soul. Others, as I have said, will take another and a
93 Unic, 22 | but merely that, as I have said elsewhere, we must not worry
94 Unic, 22 | the best places, as I have said elsewhere. God cares for
95 Unic, 22 | they will lose, as I have said. So experience and discretion
96 Unic, 23 | offend God, for, as I have said, my lack of fortitude, of
97 Unic, 23 | degrees. He himself, he said, had for many years been
98 Unic, 23 | When he said this to me, fearful as I
99 Unic, 23 | matters. I ought not, they said, to depart in the very least
100 Unic, 23 | greatly encouraged me. He said that I was very evidently
101 Unic, 24 | been right to do so, he said, until now; but he suggested
102 Unic, 24 | potency in experience. He said that it would be a mistake
103 Unic, 24 | delighted that the Father had said I was being led by God and
104 Unic, 25 | beforehand and all that they have said has come true -- not a single
105 Unic, 25 | clearly perceived, as will be said later.~
106 Unic, 25 | I am speaking, as I have said, my understanding is composing
107 Unic, 25 | the truth of what I have said, human locutions produce
108 Unic, 25 | consuming. Further, as I have said, they are things of which
109 Unic, 25 | failed to believe what was said to me, and wondered if I
110 Unic, 25 | memory of its having been said. Only if a long time has
111 Unic, 25 | understanding what is being said to it, though I do not know
112 Unic, 25 | will know that all I have said is literally true. I praise
113 Unic, 25 | to hear them, as I have said, I am compelled to. It seems
114 Unic, 25 | myself, and so, as I have said, it has cost me a great
115 Unic, 25 | be true, just as what He said to the Saints is true",
116 Unic, 25 | extremely fearful, as I have said, and my heart trouble made
117 Unic, 25 | in humility. These men, I said, were all leading incomparably
118 Unic, 25 | effort to believe what they said, realizing how wicked my
119 Unic, 25 | must be right in what they said about me.~
120 Unic, 25 | guard against me. Others said that it was clearly a deception
121 Unic, 25 | on, now, all of you," I said: "I am a servant of the
122 Unic, 26 | us to fear if, as I have said, we walk truthfully in His
123 Unic, 26 | For this reason, as I have said, I should desire always
124 Unic, 26 | despair.206 This, it may be said, is quite true, but what
125 Unic, 26 | this reason, it will be said, that we are afraid. Certainly
126 Unic, 26 | peace of mind. But the Lord said to me: Why dost thou fear?
127 Unic, 26 | my life, for, as I have said, His Majesty supplies both
128 Unic, 26 | in Latin. Then the Lord said to me: "Be not distressed,
129 Unic, 26 | understand why this had been said to me, for I had not then
130 Unic, 26 | to make clear what I have said. I truly believe that anyone
131 Unic, 26 | fact that it is I who have said it will be enough to clear
132 Unic, 27 | the things that were being said to me and the fears with
133 Unic, 27 | locutions which, as I have said, the Lord was giving me
134 Unic, 27 | without using words, as I have said. This is so celestial a
135 Unic, 27 | that it understands what is said to it, for the soul now
136 Unic, 27 | there is to say. I have only said what is necessary to explain
137 Unic, 27 | bear such perfection. It is said that people's health is
138 Unic, 27 | are many ways, as I have said on other occasions, of trampling
139 Unic, 27 | so surprised at this and said that, when one got used
140 Unic, 27(220)| at the things that were said to me: We shall go into
141 Unic, 27 | expired, he appeared to me and said that he was going to rest.
142 Unic, 28 | meant to deceive him. I said I had told him the truth,
143 Unic, 28 | about it, though, as I have said, I have for many years been
144 Unic, 28 | type of vision which, as I said, reveals God without presenting
145 Unic, 28 | my experiences, as I have said, this happened to me three
146 Unic, 28 | because, as I have already said, they far transcend what
147 Unic, 28 | repeated to one another what I said, so that before long they
148 Unic, 28 | I once said to the people who were talking
149 Unic, 28 | even if I wanted to. And, I said, I could show them these
150 Unic, 28 | confessor, who, as I have said, was a very holy Father
151 Unic, 28 | God or depart from what he said to me, and if I were careful
152 Unic, 28 | me. Some of the things I said to them I expressed carelessly
153 Unic, 28 | me light. Well, as I have said, I spoke without thinking
154 Unic, 29 | things which His Majesty said to her to reassure her and
155 Unic, 29 | was not to be afraid, they said, and God would protect me
156 Unic, 29 | have to do; and, as I have said, I could not possibly wish
157 Unic, 29 | not to worry about it and said I was quite right to obey,
158 Unic, 29 | satisfaction. As I have said, the soul would gladly be
159 Unic, 30 | mentioned earlier when I said something about his penitential
160 Unic, 30 | something has already been said.~
161 Unic, 30 | believe that what most people said was of the devil was really
162 Unic, 30 | this holy man was here, she said nothing to me but obtained
163 Unic, 30 | the soul, for, as I have said, I had thought that only
164 Unic, 30 | exception of the Faith, he said, there could be nothing
165 Unic, 30 | great happiness from what I said to him, was helpful and
166 Unic, 30 | saintly man did as he had said he would: he spoke to them
167 Unic, 30 | astonished at it themselves but said that they had been unable

169 Unic, 30 | time to this (and, as I said, I have so little time)
170 Unic, 31 | tortures did not cease, I said: "If you wouldn't laugh
171 Unic, 31 | a certain person who, he said, would be able to distribute
172 Unic, 31 | about it. He wrote to me and said that he was now so much
173 Unic, 31 | granting me favours. He said that, when he found himself
174 Unic, 31 | May what I have said help the true servant of

176 Unic, 31 | importance, and so much good said of me. I have suffered a
177 Unic, 31 | course was necessary, I said nothing about these things
178 Unic, 31 | mere straws; and, as I have said, I throw them on the fire.
179 Unic, 32 | felt there. What I have said is in no way an exaggeration.~
180 Unic, 32 | some of them, as I have said, caused by the devil --

182 Unic, 32(255)| penitential life. St. Teresa then said they ought to restore the
183 Unic, 32(255)| told of the conversation, said that she too would help
184 Unic, 32(258)| This was not, as is often said, P. Angel de Salazar, but
185 Unic, 32 | ridiculous. Of me, they said that I was all right in
186 Unic, 32 | to sanction the plan. He said that the revenue was not
187 Unic, 32 | for that reason that they said the whole thing had come
188 Unic, 32 | of the reasons for it. I said nothing to him about any
189 Unic, 32 | to act upon whatever he said. I told him we were; but
190 Unic, 32 | we were; but although I said this, and I think I would
191 Unic, 32 | to trust God. Anyone, he said, who offered further opposition
192 Unic, 32 | servant of God to whom, as I said, I had spoken first of all,
193 Unic, 33 | strictly enclosed. The nuns said that I was insulting them;
194 Unic, 33 | for founding another. Some said I ought to be thrown into
195 Unic, 33 | scandal it had occasioned. He said other things, too, all of
196 Unic, 33 | not to distress myself and said that I had not offended
197 Unic, 33 | me. Some of the things I said made them afraid, but this
198 Unic, 33 | had communicated, the Lord said to me: "I have already told
199 Unic, 33 | Elevation nor hear Mass being said, and later this caused me
200 Unic, 33 | that that was true, she said, she would give me this
201 Unic, 33 | the Queen of the Angels said about obedience the point
202 Unic, 34 | achievement, for, as I have said, her distress was causing
203 Unic, 34 | what the trials were. I said that they were not such
204 Unic, 34 | most dislike, as I have said, is having to take messages
205 Unic, 34 | experience, and thus, as I have said, many are mistaken if they

207 Unic, 34 | mine, and with whom, as I said before, I was permitted
208 Unic, 34 | was very good and did as I said. Some four or five years
209 Unic, 35 | led only to confusion, and said other things in praise of
210 Unic, 35 | everything easy. It is well said, with regard to this, that "
211 Unic, 36 | aid. If, as I have already said, I had not arrived at this
212 Unic, 36 | brother-in-law, who, as I have said, had bought it in order
213 Unic, 36 | as hopeless. Indeed, he said, might it not be the devil
214 Unic, 36 | scandalizing the people, they said, and setting up new ideas.
215 Unic, 36 | obtain their opinions. Some said nothing; others were condemnatory.
216 Unic, 36 | objected to its poverty: he said that there was no reason
217 Unic, 36 | should have been if they had said nothing at all, but I was
218 Unic, 36 | quite worn out, the Lord said to me: "Knowest thou not
219 Unic, 36 | altogether. I went to God and said: "Lord, this house is not
220 Unic, 36 | conscience. Eventually they said they would allow the matter
221 Unic, 36 | to give it up again. He said various other things as
222 Unic, 36 | two or three times, and said that, if I were firm about
223 Unic, 36 | As I think I have already said something about this, I
224 Unic, 36 | with some severity. All he said was that I was on no account
225 Unic, 36 | was delighted at what I said; he told me afterwards how
226 Unic, 36 | abandoned the law suit and said they now realized the work
227 Unic, 37 | bestowed on me than I have said already; even these are
228 Unic, 37 | for, as I have often said, the Lord may be pleased
229 Unic, 37 | severe trials which I have said I sometimes experience.
230 Unic, 37 | How is it, my God," I have said to Him, "that it is not
231 Unic, 37 | a real affront; if, as I said, we have been careless,
232 Unic, 37 | that some saint may have said that they ought to be courts
233 Unic, 38 | not going to leave me, He said to me: "See, daughter, what
234 Unic, 38 | with my heart (as I have said, I have suffered with this
235 Unic, 38 | but, as I have already said, there are greater and lesser

237 Unic, 38 | for the departed was being said for her in choir; a nun
238 Unic, 38 | while the Hours were being said before she was buried, I
239 Unic, 38 | soul and body, as I have said I sometimes used to, and
240 Unic, 38 | hearing a Mass which was being said for him by another Father
241 Unic, 38 | matters, for, as I have said, it is unnecessary for me
242 Unic, 39 | sorely grieved at it. Then He said to me that surely, if He
243 Unic, 39 | understanding of what it said, should have such an effect
244 Unic, 39 | earth, as the Lord once said to me, there is so much
245 Unic, 39 | turn out as the Lord had said. Eventually I found that
246 Unic, 39 | many days, for, as I have said, I have had, and still have,
247 Unic, 39 | my power. This the Lord said to me compassionately and
248 Unic, 39 | for, as I believe I have said on other occasions and as
249 Unic, 39 | between angels, as I have said, and the glory which I felt
250 Unic, 39 | Majesty so pleases, as I have said on other occasions, that
251 Unic, 39 | begin to serve Him anew, He said to me: "The comparison thou
252 Unic, 40 | writing has been, as she has said, to convey this instruction
253 Unic, 40 | in hell; for, as I have said, I never forget the vision
254 Unic, 40 | for I saw nothing. Someone said to me -- I could not see
255 Unic, 40 | faithful believed it. Then He said to me: "Ah, daughter, how
256 Unic, 40 | occasion referred to, the Lord said one special thing which
257 Unic, 40 | lasting effect, and, as I have said on other occasions, is much
258 Unic, 40 | and this period, as I have said, is short -- the soul will
259 Unic, 40 | it is better, as I have said on other occasions, to discuss
260 Unic, 40 | that I am saying now I have said already, but I do not remember
261 Unic, 40 | the times to come," they said, "this Order will flourish;
262 Unic, 40 | after Communion the Lord said to me: When he has quite
263 Unic, 40 | them, for from what I have said can be gathered what progress
264 Unic, 40 | not to worry -- and He said this very lovingly -- for
265 Unic, 40 | comforted me a great deal and said I was to do these things
266 Unic, 40 | want to die365: as I have said is frequently the case,
267 Unic, 40 | comes and praise Him Who said it through me. May His Majesty
