  3  Pref,   2     |          that one has to pause for quite a long time before pressing

  8  Unic,   2     |      servants we had, whom I found quite ready to encourage me in
  9  Unic,   4(80) |       Castellanos de la Canada was quite near Becedas, so that by
 10  Unic,   5     |       honour and his good name was quite well known, yet no one dared
 11  Unic,   5     |           gave me up, saying that, quite apart from everything else,
 12  Unic,   6     |           suffered at first. I was quite resigned to the will of
 13  Unic,   6     |       their backs to me and yet be quite safe; and so, too, they
 14  Unic,   6     |        these conversations, I feel quite sure I could never have
 15  Unic,   7     |         that the practice is never quite free from danger, if only
 16  Unic,   7(96) |                             Hardly quite so long, as] it seems certain
 17  Unic,   7     |           and I have been free for quite eight years from the paralysis
 18  Unic,   7     |          Orders in existence. I am quite sure that a fortnight before
 19  Unic,   7     |           one or the other. I know quite well that by that time it
 20  Unic,   7     |          that time, I mean -- were quite steadfast.~
 21  Unic,   8     |         creature as I -- and it is quite clear that it was in this
 22  Unic,   8     |         wanted to live, for I knew quite well that I was not living
 23  Unic,   9     |            progress, because I had quite lost trust in myself and
 24  Unic,   9     |            with him, because he is quite sure he is there -- I mean,
 25  Unic,   9     |       means. I think I had not yet quite prepared myself to want
 26  Unic,   9     |            presumed to ask. I knew quite well that it was lawful
 27  Unic,  10     |           asking you, I am writing quite freely. In any other case,
 28  Unic,  10     |            burn it at once -- I am quite willing for you to do that.
 29  Unic,  11     |                               I am quite clear that there is nothing
 30  Unic,  11     | self-importance wounded107 than we quite forget that we have surrendered
 31  Unic,  11     |  recompense them highly; for it is quite certain that a single one
 32  Unic,  13     |        necessary until one becomes quite perfect in virtue; and there
 33  Unic,  13     |     possible in God:113 I realized quite well that in myself I could
 34  Unic,  13     |        procedure which seems to me quite good for people who are
 35  Unic,  13     |        fearful about them. That is quite enough for him: he tries
 36  Unic,  13     |           I have had experience of quite a number.118 Anyone, I repeat,
 37  Unic,  15     |            person I am, seem to be quite different.~
 38  Unic,  15(127)|         context, I think, makes it quite clear that "will" is meant,
 39  Unic,  15     |        without pay, since they are quite sure of their final reward,
 40  Unic,  15     |         produces a confusion which quite overwhelms us. The bestowal
 41  Unic,  15     |            degree of success; for, quite apart from the experiences
 42  Unic,  16     |         consider our reputation as quite unimportant. Provided we
 43  Unic,  17     |        kind of prayer, I think, is quite definitely a union of the
 44  Unic,  17     |       happens to you: I myself was quite distracted by it), that,
 45  Unic,  17     |           no need to eat; he feels quite well fed and would not look
 46  Unic,  17     |      should grant this favour; but quite another to understand what
 47  Unic,  17     |            pieces in this way, and quite helpless?" This makes me
 48  Unic,  18     |           this Divine union. It is quite clear what union is -- two
 49  Unic,  18     |          the spirit. It has become quite clear to me that this is
 50  Unic,  19     |          rate for a year: I am not quite sure about the six months.
 51  Unic,  19     |           I think I have digressed quite sufficiently as it is. I
 52  Unic,  19     |          waiting until I should be quite free from sins. Oh how far
 53  Unic,  19     |            to battle: it will have quite enough to do to defend itself.
 54  Unic,  20     |           soul seeks a way to live quite contrarily to the will of
 55  Unic,  20     |           purgatory. I had already quite clearly realized that it
 56  Unic,  20     |          person who was previously quite ill and troubled with severe
 57  Unic,  20     |        covetous of money -- it was quite bad enough that I should

 59  Unic,  21     |           from a long way off, and quite clearly, those who are detached
 60  Unic,  21     |                             I knew quite well that none of this was
 61  Unic,  22     |          Christ (for this happened quite recently: by "recently"
 62  Unic,  22     |          must walk along this road quite freely. If His Majesty is
 63  Unic,  22     |           reason of this, for I am quite ignorant of it. What I do
 64  Unic,  23     |          Majesty began to grant me quite frequently the Prayer of
 65  Unic,  23     |        growth in virtue, for I was quite unable to take myself in
 66  Unic,  23     |            terribly bad; for I was quite sure that my experiences
 67  Unic,  23     |           and mortification, still quite a beginner. Really, if I
 68  Unic,  23     |        years been troubled by some quite trivial imperfections, which
 69  Unic,  23     |            experiences; it is only quite recently that God has granted
 70  Unic,  23     |            which seemed to make me quite a different person. What
 71  Unic,  24     |           for some days; she lived quite near. I was delighted at
 72  Unic,  25     |         this favour, it has become quite a common experience even
 73  Unic,  25     |      granted him or not -- that is quite possible -- though, once
 74  Unic,  25     | possibility of its failing to know quite well if it is making up
 75  Unic,  25     |                      I consider it quite certain that the devil will
 76  Unic,  25     |            says this to me, it may quite well be true, just as what
 77  Unic,  25     |         might be deceiving me, and quite upset and worn out, with
 78  Unic,  25     |            His will." I felt I was quite sure about this and so could
 79  Unic,  25     |         these devils, for I became quite calm and had no more fear
 80  Unic,  25     |           are we thinking of? I am quite sure I am more afraid of
 81  Unic,  26     |           This, it may be said, is quite true, but what soul is upright
 82  Unic,  26     |            the other, I would feel quite exhausted. But I needed
 83  Unic,  26     |       obeyed that rule I should be quite safe, whereas otherwise
 84  Unic,  27     |         anything. I thought He was quite close to me and I saw that
 85  Unic,  27     |           had been before, and was quite happy and free from fear.
 86  Unic,  27     |             and that the thing was quite clear to me. I did nothing,
 87  Unic,  27     |        soul that to doubt it seems quite impossible. The Lord is
 88  Unic,  27     |          how it got there. We know quite well that it is there, although
 89  Unic,  27     |         one got used to it, it was quite possible. A companion of
 90  Unic,  27     |           and so, even when he was quite young, was his mortification:
 91  Unic,  28     |           since then it has become quite clear to me how silly I
 92  Unic,  28     |        brightness of our sun seems quite dim and we should never
 93  Unic,  28     |          for comparisons are never quite satisfactory: it is the
 94  Unic,  28     |        from our own understanding, quite apart from the fact that
 95  Unic,  28     |    virtuous and strong; for it was quite clear to me that these experiences
 96  Unic,  28     |      little service here; for I am quite sure that those who condemned
 97  Unic,  29     |            on like this and it was quite usual for God to grant me
 98  Unic,  29     |          will is that we shall see quite clearly that they are produced,
 99  Unic,  29     |            the devil. So, as I was quite unable to resist it, they
100  Unic,  29     |            about it and said I was quite right to obey, but He would
101  Unic,  29     |          what it desires. It knows quite well that it desires God
102  Unic,  29     |           certain penances, but is quite unable to feel them, while
103  Unic,  29     |          these medicines: they are quite inadequate for so sublime
104  Unic,  30     |           already knew that it was quite possible for physical distress
105  Unic,  30     |           but to praise God and be quite certain that it was the
106  Unic,  30     |           the devil's wiles, I see quite clearly that this is folly.
107  Unic,  30     |           even if it is night, and quite dark, he knows by the instinct
108  Unic,  30     |          all the other virtues, is quite numbed and asleep. It is
109  Unic,  30     |          might be doing so. I knew quite well that I would not deceive
110  Unic,  30     |       definite thought, other than quite a fleeting one, about God,
111  Unic,  30     |         have, but sometimes I know quite well that my poor bodily
112  Unic,  30     |         with equanimity, but it is quite unconscious of any motions
113  Unic,  30     |          loved it ever since I was quite a child -- though I did
114  Unic,  31     |           the bodily suffering are quite intolerable, my custom is
115  Unic,  31     |        consolation. In fact, it is quite usual for me to be conscious
116  Unic,  31     |               On another occasion, quite recently, the same thing
117  Unic,  31     |            letter was, but he knew quite well.~
118  Unic,  31     |       several times and lasted for quite a number of days: it seemed
119  Unic,  31     |        humility, but I can now see quite well that it was a temptation.
120  Unic,  31     |     sometimes, in fact, I would be quite concerned about her. In
121  Unic,  31     |      others. Your Reverence can be quite sure that we are not all
122  Unic,  32     |     pestilential spot, where I was quite powerless to hope for comfort,
123  Unic,  32     |         how it was, but I realized quite clearly that it was a great
124  Unic,  32     |          this affliction, which is quite another matter. In fact,
125  Unic,  32     |           tolerated and considered quite legitimate in the world;
126  Unic,  32     |    disturbing but pleasant: I knew quite well that it was of God
127  Unic,  32     |           nuns,255 for it would be quite possible to find a way of
128  Unic,  32     |           such persecution that it quite exhausted her. I did not
129  Unic,  33     |           and so I could serve God quite well where I was; that I
130  Unic,  33     |         there were very few. I saw quite well that in many respects
131  Unic,  33     |          remained in my own house, quite content and happy. I could
132  Unic,  33     |          work would be done, I was quite sure that it would be done
133  Unic,  33(263)|   Incarnation still exists. It was quite common in those days for
134  Unic,  33     |          such an extent that I was quite upset by them and plunged
135  Unic,  33     |            fear about this. I knew quite well that in matters of
136  Unic,  33     |      burdening myself, since I was quite alone and there was so very
137  Unic,  33     |           of which I had to suffer quite alone; my companion did
138  Unic,  33     |      trouble to get this principle quite definitely and authoritatively
139  Unic,  33     |          possible: their beauty is quite unlike anything that we
140  Unic,  33     |        light was not dazzling, but quite soft. The glorious Saint
141  Unic,  33     |        seen. Our Lady looked to me quite like a child. When they
142  Unic,  33     |    multitude of angels. I remained quite alone, but so greatly comforted
143  Unic,  33     |       moving, and unable to speak, quite beside myself. I was left
144  Unic,  34     |            depression: then I felt quite happy again, and, dissolving
145  Unic,  34     |   distressed. But in the end I was quite persuaded that I must do
146  Unic,  35     |          the Lord, and so she knew quite well what I did not, despite
147  Unic,  36     |        happy, therefore that I was quite carried away by the intensity
148  Unic,  36     |                In some ways I knew quite well that they were condemning
149  Unic,  36     |           more plainly, and he was quite satisfied, and promised
150  Unic,  36     |         the town. Once, when I was quite worn out, the Lord said
151  Unic,  36     |            from that moment I felt quite sure they would prosper.~
152  Unic,  36     |       works so smoothly. For it is quite evidently easy to endure
153  Unic,  36     |    observance; for it can be borne quite easily by people who are
154  Unic,  37     |             so they would treat me quite unpleasantly. This happened
155  Unic,  37     |                               Only quite recently it chanced that
156  Unic,  38     |         with her heavenly visions! Quite a Saint Jerome!" Because
157  Unic,  38     |        brightness of the sun seems quite dull if compared with the
158  Unic,  38     | exceedingly strong that it made me quite helpless. It was different,
159  Unic,  38     |          time into rapture and was quite unable to prevent himself
160  Unic,  38     |          me some favour. For it is quite usual for the Lord to grant
161  Unic,  38     |           first vision. This I was quite well able to understand,
162  Unic,  39     |                               I am quite sure that no one will be
163  Unic,  39     |     convent are a number of girls, quite young in years.352 God touches
164  Unic,  39     |            mortal peril, and I was quite alone there, without anyone
165  Unic,  40     |       could not see who, but I was quite clear that it was the Truth
166  Unic,  40     |           within himself.361 It is quite clear that this is the best
167  Unic,  40     |           understanding -- will be quite bewildered, and almost in
168  Unic,  40     |             They had lovely faces, quite lit up with zeal; many were
169  Unic,  40     |            said to me: When he has quite clearly and truly realized
170  Unic,  40     |     helping many souls, and I know quite well how much the Lord Himself
