13 Unic, 4 | contracted with Thee, I do not know how to proceed any farther
14 Unic, 4 | actions of mine, I do not know what my intention could
15 Unic, 4 | applied to me. I do not know how I managed to endure
16 Unic, 4 | had done me) but I did not know how to practise prayer,
17 Unic, 5 | I got to know more about this priest by
18 Unic, 6 | state that only the Lord can know what intolerable sufferings
19 Unic, 6 | a torment that I do not know with what I can compare
20 Unic, 6 | for him always. I do not know how anyone can think of
21 Unic, 6 | once more forsake me; for I know well how little my strength
22 Unic, 6 | this about myself. I do not know why we wish to live, when

24 Unic, 7 | did me great harm not to know that it was possible to

27 Unic, 7 | and gradually, as I got to know him, I began to tell him
28 Unic, 7 | the one or the other. I know quite well that by that

30 Unic, 7 | altogether good, I do not know why anyone who is beginning
31 Unic, 7 | I do not know if the things I am saving
32 Unic, 8 | my life at such length. I know well that nobody will derive
33 Unic, 8 | a conflict that I do not know how I managed to endure
34 Unic, 8 | I say courage, because I know nothing in the world that
35 Unic, 8 | treacherously with the King and to know that He is aware of it and
36 Unic, 8 | serving God and have come to know the vanity inherent in the
37 Unic, 8 | of it. I can say what I know by experience -- namely,
38 Unic, 8 | converse, with Him Who we know loves us. If love is to
39 Unic, 8 | necessary: on the Lord's side we know these cannot fail, but our
40 Unic, 8 | mental prayer: I do not know what they are afraid of.

44 Unic, 9 | talking to someone, and know that he is with him, because
45 Unic, 9 | loved Him, but I did not know, as I should have done,
46 Unic, 10 | fortitude to resist it: I know God will do this if we walk

50 Unic, 11 | have a bad memory, I do not know where it occurred or what
51 Unic, 11 | watered, so that we may know what we have to do, what
52 Unic, 11 | granting me a favour. I know how grievous such trials
53 Unic, 11 | us them He wishes us to know by experience how miserable
54 Unic, 11 | and I say this because I know it by experience -- that
55 Unic, 11 | that case His Majesty must know that it is good for them.
56 Unic, 11 | experience of this and I know that what I say is true,
57 Unic, 12 | cannot be understood I do not know how to explain it. In the
58 Unic, 13 | have experienced this, so I know it -- and I also know that
59 Unic, 13 | I know it -- and I also know that we can desire no better

62 Unic, 13 | soul has found. I do not know whether I have succeeded
63 Unic, 13 | but Your Reverence will know. May the Lord grant me always
64 Unic, 14 | point to say this, as we know that God always understands
65 Unic, 14 | everything at once, yet not to know what it has found: I do

67 Unic, 14 | there are many who do not know this) and how it is now
68 Unic, 14 | seen by persons who will know if I am wrong, I am going
69 Unic, 14 | without worrying about it. I know I have no need to worry
70 Unic, 14 | not understand them, or know what it ought to do. If
71 Unic, 14 | great blessing for it to know what it has to do in order
72 Unic, 14 | which it is possible to know things on earth: it is always
73 Unic, 14 | they are useless; for we know that no efforts of ours
74 Unic, 15 | beyond it, and I do not know who is to blame for this.
75 Unic, 15 | to this state to learn to know themselves, and to hold
76 Unic, 15 | for, as I have said, I know many souls who attain thus
77 Unic, 15 | who attain thus far; and I know, too, that those who go
78 Unic, 15 | They will know, by the improvement which
79 Unic, 16 | and a fruition of God. I know no other terms in which
80 Unic, 16 | the soul, at such a time, know what to do: it knows not
81 Unic, 16 | Who thus possesses it. I know a person who, though no
82 Unic, 16 | forsake open sin? Do you know what I think? That it is
83 Unic, 16 | is. Does Your Reverence know what our great care ought
84 Unic, 17 | that Your Reverence may know that it can happen and recognize
85 Unic, 17 | masters of themselves and they know very well that the better
86 Unic, 17 | so much that he does not know where to look next: as he
87 Unic, 17 | who observe it. I do not know what remedy there is for
88 Unic, 18 | the nature of it, I do not know how to explain. It is described
89 Unic, 18 | attained to raptures will, I know, understand it well. If
90 Unic, 18 | speak of it are those who know it, for it cannot be understood,
91 Unic, 18 | was ignorant: I did not know that God was in all things,
92 Unic, 19 | pleased that others should know Thou wert giving them, to
93 Unic, 19 | sufficiently as it is. I hardly know what I have said. It cannot
94 Unic, 19 | people as ignorant as I am to know it. Even if a soul should
95 Unic, 20 | for I should certainly know nothing of it if His Majesty
96 Unic, 20 | prepared for it. I do not know if the comparison is an
97 Unic, 20 | being carried away, you know not whither. For, though
98 Unic, 20 | feet so powerful that I know nothing to which I can compare
99 Unic, 20 | it is a comfort to me to know that others, especially
100 Unic, 20 | out here that I did not know the meaning of this verse
101 Unic, 20 | true of me -- indeed, I know it is not -- but I think
102 Unic, 20 | such great happiness that I know of nothing with which it
103 Unic, 20 | I do not know if I am correct in what
104 Unic, 20 | suffering brings. I do not know how this can be, but so
105 Unic, 20 | faculties is able to perceive or know what is taking place. We
106 Unic, 20 | such great length is that I know that there are persons now,
107 Unic, 20 | later. Perhaps I do not know what I am saying; but, if
108 Unic, 20 | described by Saint Vincent.159 I know, for I have observed it
109 Unic, 20 | due to itself, nor does it know who has given it so great
110 Unic, 20 | and rightly so, since they know nothing of the force by
111 Unic, 21 | by my own life. I do not know what I should do afterwards,
112 Unic, 21 | everything, and well dost Thou know that, provided I remain
113 Unic, 21 | give them to kings; for I know that, if they had them,
114 Unic, 21 | to Thy desire. Well do I know, my Lord, of how little
115 Unic, 21 | by which I was enabled to know and love God the better,
116 Unic, 22 | the Illuminative. I do not know why they call it Illuminative
117 Unic, 22 | learned and spiritual men, who know what they are saying, and
118 Unic, 22 | nothing at all; I did not even know what I was doing. When I

120 Unic, 22 | whom Your Reverence will know better than I.~
121 Unic, 22 | has been striving hard to know; it loves what it has not
122 Unic, 22 | even managed to help me to know myself by revealing to me
123 Unic, 22 | Lord's will that we should know this and be like the little
124 Unic, 22 | in the virtues? I want to know the reason of this, for
125 Unic, 22 | ignorant of it. What I do know is that there is a great
126 Unic, 22 | really spiritual. For if they know only one path, or have gone
127 Unic, 23 | that practise prayer to know how they must conduct themselves
128 Unic, 23 | the people.184 I got to know him through a saintly gentleman
129 Unic, 23 | so that I should get to know and consult people as holy
130 Unic, 23 | improved after I got to know him), and when, in order
131 Unic, 23 | not meant for everyone to know, and it looked as though
132 Unic, 23 | and fear that I did not know what to do: I could only
133 Unic, 23 | work hard at it. How did I know, he asked me, that the Lord
134 Unic, 24 | and fearful; and I did not know what would become of me.
135 Unic, 24 | relatives or friends. Unless I know that a person loves God
136 Unic, 25 | conversing with itself (I do not know if that is possible, but
137 Unic, 25 | learning and authority who we know will not lie to us. Indeed,
138 Unic, 25 | possibility of its failing to know quite well if it is making
139 Unic, 25 | said to it, though I do not know how it can do so. Either
140 Unic, 25 | has experience of it will know that all I have said is
141 Unic, 25 | powerful, as I see He is, and know He is, and if the devils
142 Unic, 25 | course we might, for we know he cannot move a finger
143 Unic, 27 | told him that I did not know how, but that I could not
144 Unic, 27 | imaginary vision, how can I know and affirm that He is at
145 Unic, 27 | to address and we seem to know that He is hearing us by
146 Unic, 27 | knowing how it got there. We know quite well that it is there,
147 Unic, 27 | there, although we do not know what it is or who put it
148 Unic, 27 | In this experience, I do know Who put it there, but not
149 Unic, 27 | men! How far will it go? I know by experience that all I
150 Unic, 27 | God heard me and I came to know Him that it makes me very
151 Unic, 27 | of the few there are who know thee!~
152 Unic, 27 | something about this, for I know it is all true.~
153 Unic, 27 | life, as though you did not know this already and had not
154 Unic, 28 | Those who know better than I say that the
155 Unic, 28 | do it, and I do not even know how I should try, for, even
156 Unic, 28 | in fact, did I want to know, so I never asked anyone
157 Unic, 28 | obscure of which I do not know the explanation. At certain
158 Unic, 28 | after Communion, for we know that He is there, since
159 Unic, 28 | before long they all got to know about it, though I had spoken
160 Unic, 28 | helped me so much, I do not know what would have become of
161 Unic, 29 | love of God that I did not know who was inspiring me with
162 Unic, 29 | so that the soul does not know either what is the matter
163 Unic, 29 | pain is so great that I know of no physical torture which
164 Unic, 30 | devil's work that he sees I know his tricks and so he troubles
165 Unic, 30 | dissatisfaction -- with what, I do not know -- so that there is nothing
166 Unic, 30 | myself to do these, and I know well how little a soul can
167 Unic, 30 | none the less I feel that I know Him.~
168 Unic, 30 | often have, but sometimes I know quite well that my poor
169 Unic, 30 | with regard to which I know well the Lord has helped
170 Unic, 30 | I do not know if I am doing right to say
171 Unic, 31 | extremely useful for people to know if they are walking on the
172 Unic, 31 | twice running and I did not know what to do. But there was
173 Unic, 31 | as Your Reverence will know, but fall and rise again.~
174 Unic, 31 | done. Later, when I did not know my part very well, I made
175 Unic, 31 | there, until -- I do not know how -- they came to hear
176 Unic, 31 | point of desiring them to know of these things -- not out
177 Unic, 31 | thus it is, my Lord, and I know not how my heart can bear
178 Unic, 32 | suffering them. I do not know how it was, but I realized
179 Unic, 32 | which after all, as we know, has a limit and will end
180 Unic, 32 | suffering has no limit: I do not know how we can look on so calmly
181 Unic, 32 | exhausted her. I did not know what to do, for up to a
182 Unic, 33 | Lord's command -- I did not know what to do and so was silent.
183 Unic, 33 | very carefully, to let me know if there was anything in
184 Unic, 33 | although, as I say, I do not know how this happened. If I
185 Unic, 33 | but at the time I did not know this, nor did I even know
186 Unic, 33 | know this, nor did I even know who that prelate would be.
187 Unic, 34 | the desire came to me to know about the state of his soul,
188 Unic, 34 | Lord gives this light, to know how much we are gaining
189 Unic, 34 | them to other people, who know that I am not lying. God
190 Unic, 35 | arguments that I did not know what to do; for, now that
191 Unic, 35 | another day that I do not know how they would have been
192 Unic, 35 | see, Lord, and I do not know how the road that leads
193 Unic, 36 | so sorely that I did not know what to do with myself.
194 Unic, 36 | understand the truth and know that this was simply an
195 Unic, 36 | more delightful. I do not know if this has anything to
196 Unic, 36 | keep it astonishes all who know my infirmities. Blessed
197 Unic, 36 | should be sorry for her and know how to comfort her. When
198 Unic, 36 | done to anyone who did not know all the reasons. The Provincial
199 Unic, 36 | escape severe trials. I know that all the observances
200 Unic, 37 | them, and, when they got to know me better, they learned
201 Unic, 37 | and so much occupied (I know not with what, or how: it
202 Unic, 37 | foolish, so that I do not know what I am saying, and I
203 Unic, 37 | I came here333 I did not know how I was going to live;
204 Unic, 37 | Really, I repeat, I did not know how I was going to live:
205 Unic, 38 | seem to be so, I did not know what to do, for I was very
206 Unic, 38 | so great that I do not know if it can be understood
207 Unic, 38 | awaiting us there and to know where we are going to live.
208 Unic, 38 | comforts me, are those who I know live in Heaven: they, it
209 Unic, 38 | the remembrance), I do not know how one could live. Blessed
210 Unic, 38 | proficients and perfect may know if the Holy Spirit is with
211 Unic, 38 | occasions, and I did not know what was the matter with
212 Unic, 38 | and stupid that I did not know what to do or how I could
213 Unic, 38 | this is a thing which I know actually happened. He found
214 Unic, 38 | to approach Him; I only know that it is bestowed on me
215 Unic, 38 | performed in Thy service. Ah, I know not what I am saying, for
216 Unic, 38 | me so much that I do not know how I was able to communicate,
217 Unic, 38(343)| ndez (see n. 258), whom we know to have been Prior of Avila
218 Unic, 38 | from going there. I do not know why I was allowed to learn
219 Unic, 39 | malady, which, as I do not know its exact nature, I shall
220 Unic, 39 | about this that I did not know what means I could employ
221 Unic, 39 | praying, which I do not know how to explain. When I pray
222 Unic, 39 | reveals Himself, and so we know His Majesty is hearing us
223 Unic, 39 | attribute to myself, for I know there is nothing good in
224 Unic, 39 | the sake of Him Who they know loves them. They give up
225 Unic, 39 | makes the truth which they know through faith of avail to
226 Unic, 39 | doing right and I did not know how to stand up for myself
227 Unic, 39 | They told me -- I do not know who -- that all I could
228 Unic, 39 | and communicated. I do not know how I did so. I thought
229 Unic, 39 | to me in teaching me to know more of the greatness of
230 Unic, 40 | world is due to a failure to know the truths of Scripture
231 Unic, 40 | greatest help to me. I do not know how this happened, for I
232 Unic, 40 | able to describe. This, I know, was a vision which, whenever
233 Unic, 40 | weakening of the imagination. I know this happens to some people.
234 Unic, 40 | remember this, I do not know how to bear it and at that
235 Unic, 40 | ashamed that I did not seem to know where to hide myself. Oh,
236 Unic, 40(363)| naming this Order; but I know that she is speaking of
237 Unic, 40 | helping many souls, and I know quite well how much the
238 Unic, 40 | call that to mind. I do not know if it is for that reason
239 Unic, 40 | virtuous and learned men and I know they will recognize whence
