50 Unic, 8 | If, then, you do not yet love Him, you will realize how
51 Unic, 8 | to be wholly consumed in love for Thee! How true it is
52 Unic, 8 | remember the times when we love Thee, my Lord, and, when
53 Unic, 8 | all, I beg them, for the love of Our Lord, and for the
54 Unic, 8 | Lord, and for the great love wherewith He is continually
55 Unic, 9 | because it is moved by love. But those who arrive thus

58 Unic, 9 | But when I thought of His love for me, I would take heart

62 Unic, 10 | there be added a little love, the soul is comforted,
63 Unic, 10 | shall not be aroused to love Him. And it is a most certain
64 Unic, 10 | very evident truth that we love a person most when we have
65 Unic, 10 | invites and constrains us to love, and all this is the blessing
66 Unic, 10 | have some earnest of the love which God bears him and
67 Unic, 10 | But I beseech him, for the love of the Lord, that what I
68 Unic, 10 | recognized. This I beg for the love of God. The authority of
69 Unic, 10 | this, will do what, for love of the Lord, I am asking
70 Unic, 10 | beseech Your Reverence, for love of the Lord, to beg Him
71 Unic, 11 | reason why we do not learn to love God perfectly in a short
72 Unic, 11 | beginning to be the servants of love -- for this, I think, is
73 Unic, 11 | when a soul has resolved to love Thee and by forsaking everything
74 Unic, 11 | better employ itself in the love of God, hast Thou been pleased
75 Unic, 11 | possession of this perfect love? But I am wrong: I should
76 Unic, 11 | possession of this true love of God, it brings all blessings
77 Unic, 11 | nice way of seeking the love of God is this! We expect
78 Unic, 11 | gift so precious as Thy love be given to people who serve
79 Unic, 11 | firm foundation.110 Yes, love for God does not consist
80 Unic, 11 | longing to think of Him and to love Him. It is this determination
81 Unic, 11 | the body a service for the love of God, so that on many
82 Unic, 12 | glory we hope for, and the love which the Lord bore us,
83 Unic, 12 | and it can awaken its own love. It can make other acts
84 Unic, 12 | become enkindled with great love for His sacred Humanity
85 Unic, 12 | it and really learns to love this Lord to Whom we owe
86 Unic, 13 | confidence in God, and so much love for ourselves, that anxieties
87 Unic, 13 | in the creatures, and the love that He showed us, which
88 Unic, 13 | bore them and with what love He suffered them. But we
89 Unic, 14 | Jesus and Lord, how much Thy love now means to us! It binds
90 Unic, 14 | to us! It binds our own love so straitly that at that
91 Unic, 14 | leaves us no freedom to love anything but Thee.~
92 Unic, 14 | and such signal marks of love that it cannot doubt them
93 Unic, 15 | prevent this little spark of love for God from being quenched.~
94 Unic, 15 | And so, for love of the Lord, I beg the souls
95 Unic, 15 | is a little spark of true love for the Lord which He begins
96 Unic, 15 | understand the nature of this love with its attendant joy.
97 Unic, 15 | flames of that most ardent love of God with which His Majesty
98 Unic, 15 | let it utter any words of love which come to its mind,
99 Unic, 15 | in order to quicken its love, arouse within itself certain
100 Unic, 15 | it make certain acts of love, too, concerning what it
101 Unic, 15 | In souls like these love is already highly developed
102 Unic, 15 | highly developed and it is love which works in them. But
103 Unic, 15 | beginning to develop within us a love of God entirely devoid of
104 Unic, 16 | follies because of this love, and to be inebriated with
105 Unic, 16 | also become mad through Thy love or I myself may have no
106 Unic, 16 | let us all be mad, for the love of Him Who was called mad
107 Unic, 16 | wish we five,136 who now love each other in Christ, could
108 Unic, 16 | aside and catching fire with love for God; and so their flame
109 Unic, 18 | him to enter? Let not Thy love, eternal King, be so great
110 Unic, 18 | wont to come with heavenly love; but, as I understand it,
111 Unic, 18(142)| encounter": Living Flame of Love, Stanza I): cf. St. John
112 Unic, 19 | there for it to do but to love Him? It can neither see
113 Unic, 19 | to the same fate. For the love of God, let all who practise
114 Unic, 19 | is evident (and for the love of the Lord let it be carefully
115 Unic, 19 | those of earth, and what love the Lord is showing it,
116 Unic, 19 | it, there is born of this love a confidence and security
117 Unic, 19 | it look to it -- for the love of the Lord, let it look
118 Unic, 20 | overpowered by152 the deepest love, newly enkindled, for One
119 Unic, 20 | as we see, has so deep a love for so loathsome a worm
120 Unic, 20 | nothing save its God; but its love is not centred upon any
121 Unic, 21 | lose life or honour for the love of God. How great a blessing
122 Unic, 21 | have done heroic deeds for love of Thee. I myself am fit
123 Unic, 21 | in whom this fire of the love of God burned so vehemently?
124 Unic, 21 | some time. And the more love and humility grow in the
125 Unic, 21 | to their positions to the love of God they would do more
126 Unic, 21 | was enabled to know and love God the better, to realize
127 Unic, 22 | consolation in trials for the love of Him Who suffered trials
128 Unic, 22 | should remember with what love He has bestowed all these
129 Unic, 22 | us, and how great is the love which God has revealed to
130 Unic, 22 | us such a pledge of the love which He bears us; for love
131 Unic, 22 | love which He bears us; for love begets love. And though
132 Unic, 22 | bears us; for love begets love. And though we may be only
133 Unic, 22 | mind and awaken our own love, for, if once the Lord grants
134 Unic, 22 | favour of implanting this love in our hearts, everything
135 Unic, 22 | His Majesty give us this love, since He knows how much
136 Unic, 22 | it, for the sake of the love which He bore us and through
137 Unic, 22 | who the people are that love Him -- whether this person
138 Unic, 23 | devil. So great was the love which I began to bear him
139 Unic, 23 | considered with great charity and love what would be best for me.
140 Unic, 23 | never allows people who love Him to be deluded by the
141 Unic, 24 | he led me by the way of love for God, which brought me,
142 Unic, 24 | I had not done it out of love, but freedom. I remained
143 Unic, 24 | began to conceive a new love for the most sacred Humanity.
144 Unic, 24 | with people who I believe love God and try to serve Him,
145 Unic, 25 | and if they are words of love fill us with a love that
146 Unic, 25 | words of love fill us with a love that is all consuming. Further,
147 Unic, 25 | thousand deaths. With this love for the Faith, which God
148 Unic, 25 | Thou cease to will if we love Thee.200 Let all things
149 Unic, 25 | dost allow to those who love Thee. O my Lord, how delicately
150 Unic, 25 | that we had never stayed to love anyone save Thee! Thou seemest,
151 Unic, 25 | severe tests to those who love Thee, but only that in the
152 Unic, 25 | greater extremity of Thy love.~
153 Unic, 25(200)| translated "wilt", "will" and "love" is querer: the play upon
154 Unic, 25 | strengthens our faith and how our love increases!~
155 Unic, 26 | truly loves Him; for the love of those who reach this
156 Unic, 26 | be far away, and so its love is a thing most evident,
157 Unic, 26 | Though I had a great love for him, I was several times
158 Unic, 26 | the Lord showed me so much love and taught me by so many
159 Unic, 27 | feelings and effects of great love and faith of which we become
160 Unic, 27 | it altogether and make it love nothing save Him Who, without
161 Unic, 27 | with such friendship and love as is impossible to describe.
162 Unic, 27 | necessary to express the mutual love of these two friends. Just
163 Unic, 27 | reasonable intelligence, who love each other dearly, seem
164 Unic, 27 | can be excluded from His love since He has dealt in such
165 Unic, 27 | reason he told me was his love for me, for the Lord was
166 Unic, 27 | pleased to give him this love so that he might stand up
167 Unic, 27 | and violent impulses of love for God, of which I was
168 Unic, 28 | it sees God revealing His love to it, the soul can find
169 Unic, 28 | me that a new and living love of God is beginning to work
170 Unic, 28 | fills all things with His love.~
171 Unic, 28 | them of pure and chaste love and it very soon becomes
172 Unic, 28 | as pledges of her great love, and if, never having had
173 Unic, 29 | me about them. I found my love for Him growing exceedingly:
174 Unic, 29 | for this made me grow in love. I would address my complaints
175 Unic, 29 | grew within me so strong a love of God that I did not know
176 Unic, 29 | save through death. This love came to me in vehement impulses,
177 Unic, 29 | from me, and out of Thy love didst oppress me with a
178 Unic, 29 | move it to a gentle kind of love; it must not, as they say,
179 Unic, 29 | the point of the fist. Its love must find an outlet in interior
180 Unic, 29 | it to hate itself for the love of this Lord so that it
181 Unic, 29 | It sees clearly that this love has come to it through no
182 Unic, 29 | from the exceeding great love which the Lord bears it,
183 Unic, 29 | of what it feels for the love of God; but its initial
184 Unic, 29 | completely afire with a great love for God. The pain was so
185 Unic, 29 | sweet are the colloquies of love which pass between the soul
186 Unic, 30 | off. So lukewarm does its love become that, if it hears
187 Unic, 30 | imperfection except in desire and love, with regard to which I
188 Unic, 30 | service. I do really believe I love Him, but my actions and
189 Unic, 30 | the violent impulses of love, which I have already mentioned,
190 Unic, 30 | which attain to this state. Love is continually bubbling
191 Unic, 30 | with the soul: such is the love it has that it can find
192 Unic, 30 | like others to drink of its love, since it has itself no
193 Unic, 30 | This love is also like a great fire,
194 Unic, 30 | abundance of this fire of His love, that they should lack bodily
195 Unic, 31 | believe me, then: for the love of the Lord let them believe
196 Unic, 32 | has become that Thou didst love me, much more than I love
197 Unic, 32 | love me, much more than I love myself! How often, Lord,
198 Unic, 32 | into mortal sin. For the love of God, let us keep free
199 Unic, 33 | where I was; that I had no love for my own convent; and
200 Unic, 33 | the growth in my soul of love for God and of many other
201 Unic, 33 | increasingly strong impulses of the love of God which I have described,
202 Unic, 33 | impulse to melt away in love for God, and with other
203 Unic, 34 | on account of the great love which my lady had for me.
204 Unic, 34 | what I am saying; for it is love that speaks, and my soul
205 Unic, 34 | separates it from God. For the love which it knows His Majesty
206 Unic, 34 | I was in grace, since my love for God was so strong and
207 Unic, 34 | locutory, and so great was the love that my soul and spirit
208 Unic, 34 | do when ablaze with Thy love! What great value we ought
209 Unic, 34 | life! Anyone who has this love should follow after such
210 Unic, 35 | to go about begging for love of God and have no house
211 Unic, 35 | resolved to live only on the love of God.~
212 Unic, 35 | some person wants it whom I love better than myself, and
213 Unic, 35 | clearly that we have only to love Thee truly, and truly to
214 Unic, 36 | receiving me with great love, placing a crown on my head
215 Unic, 36 | to enkindle them in the love of their Spouse. So none
216 Unic, 36 | Your Reverence, for the love of God, if you think it
217 Unic, 37 | converse with Him that my love for Him and trust in Him
218 Unic, 37 | behold Thy humility and the love that Thou bestowest on such
219 Unic, 37 | kindling the fire of the love of God. It is only by His
220 Unic, 37 | life, which I endure for love of Thee, willing to live
221 Unic, 37 | and all this I endure for love of Thee. Well knowest Thou,
222 Unic, 37 | with Thy mercy? How can Thy love for me endure it? Verily,
223 Unic, 37 | hidest Thyself from me, the love that Thou bearest me is
224 Unic, 37 | deserved. But sometimes love makes me foolish, so that
225 Unic, 38 | be attached: to those who love God in truth and have put
226 Unic, 38 | progress in the highest love of God and of a very great
227 Unic, 38 | grieved and afflicted by the love shining in that face of
228 Unic, 39 | serve Him and revives my love for Him. What astonishes
229 Unic, 39 | their resolutions and their love, and the Lord will give
230 Unic, 39 | them a little light and love -- I mean, during some short
231 Unic, 39 | without great potency of love. I prefer this to prayer
232 Unic, 39 | do, since Thou hast such love for me.~
233 Unic, 39 | thousand ducats? For the love of God, let us leave all
234 Unic, 39 | as a sign of His great love: "Now thou art Mine and
235 Unic, 39 | these words and signs of love cause me the very greatest
236 Unic, 39 | high, and from the true love of God, for, however much
237 Unic, 39 | bade me, too, consider the love for Him which was increasing
238 Unic, 40 | daughter, how few are they who love Me in truth! If people loved
239 Unic, 40 | Knowest thou what it is to love Me in truth? It is to realize
240 Unic, 40 | other loves depend upon this love and all other greatnesses
241 Unic, 40 | to thank him and not to love him. What would have become
242 Unic, 40 | was to do these things for love of Him and to put up with
