24 Unic, 7 | and now I am amazed that a person could have gone on for so

38 Unic, 13 | that he is not the kind of person to teach us to be like toads,
39 Unic, 13 | not be a good thing for a person who was weak and ill to
40 Unic, 13 | to teach others. For if a person is to do any good in this
41 Unic, 13 | from making progress. One person who spoke to me about this
42 Unic, 13 | to consult some learned person, if he can, and the more
43 Unic, 13 | and the more learned this person, the better. Those who walk
44 Unic, 13 | believe myself that, if a person who practises prayer consults

51 Unic, 16 | not say I am that kind of person, but I wish I were.~
52 Unic, 17 | we were speaking to one person while someone else was speaking
53 Unic, 17 | It works in this way. A person may have so far satisfied
54 Unic, 17 | matter with some spiritual person, who has himself reached

56 Unic, 18 | as well it may be: for a person like myself to speak of
57 Unic, 18 | they can hardly see. If a person in this state attempts to
58 Unic, 19 | Him. I only wish I were a person of great authority so that
59 Unic, 19 | think it will be if such a person gives up prayer and does
60 Unic, 20 | anything could comfort a person in this condition, it would
61 Unic, 20 | complaint. It is like a person who has a rope around his
62 Unic, 20 | very little, then, that a person in this condition can do,
63 Unic, 20 | wide awake: they are like a person who has been asleep for
64 Unic, 20 | away by the soul. Often a person who was previously quite
65 Unic, 20 | learn, especially if the person in question is a woman.
66 Unic, 21 | despite my being the sort of person I am, I keep experiencing
67 Unic, 22 | good pleasure and upon the person on whom He wishes to bestow
68 Unic, 22 | love Him -- whether this person does, or that person --
69 Unic, 22 | this person does, or that person -- and reveals Himself to
70 Unic, 23 | a talk with a spiritual person, to ask him what that kind
71 Unic, 23 | marvel that, though he was a person with a particular gift for
72 Unic, 23 | by trials. I was like a person who has fallen into a river:
73 Unic, 23 | make me quite a different person. What a great thing it is
74 Unic, 24 | friends. Unless I know that a person loves God or practises prayer,
75 Unic, 24 | make His servant another person. So there was no need for
76 Unic, 25 | Sometimes, I think, a person who has commended some matter
77 Unic, 25 | for it is just as if a person were making up a speech
78 Unic, 25 | notice of them than of a person whom it knows to be mad.
79 Unic, 25 | listen as we should to a person of great holiness, learning
80 Unic, 25 | extraordinary if any experienced person were deceived.~
81 Unic, 25 | for instruction from this person and from that, and acts
82 Unic, 25 | or read, but was like a person stunned by all this tribulation
83 Unic, 25 | to be calm and no single person would have sufficed to do
84 Unic, 25 | time I found I was another person and I should not have been
85 Unic, 25 | When he sees that such a person's understanding is darkened,
86 Unic, 27 | to say that it is as if a person were in the dark, so that
87 Unic, 27 | great deal, because the person in the dark can detect the
88 Unic, 27 | in pitch darkness, and a person whom I had never seen, but
89 Unic, 27 | distracted. It is like a person with good hearing, who is
90 Unic, 27 | and may explain to such a person the method and the road
91 Unic, 27 | this to me, and to another person from whom he concealed little218 --
92 Unic, 28 | than so base and wicked a person could bear: knowing this,
93 Unic, 28 | the other than a living person is like his portrait: however
94 Unic, 28 | they were to tell me that a person whom I knew well and had
95 Unic, 28 | eyes. But, I added, if that person left some jewels with me,
96 Unic, 28 | immediately made me a different person.~
97 Unic, 28 | and considered myself a person of learning. All this reached
98 Unic, 30 | exist together in the same person but it bewildered me to
99 Unic, 30 | of God; and, as she is a person of very great intelligence
100 Unic, 30 | reasons she was a suitable person for such confidences. She
101 Unic, 30 | all himself, for such a person alone could understand me
102 Unic, 30 | me and there was no such person in this city, but he would
103 Unic, 30 | distress to me. For, when a person is in this condition, the
104 Unic, 30(239)| characteristic change of person is reproduced exactly from
105 Unic, 30 | own part, I am the sort of person who would be satisfied if
106 Unic, 31 | A person came to me who for two and
107 Unic, 31 | and I wrote to a certain person who, he said, would be able
108 Unic, 31 | special prayer, that when a person thought there was any good
109 Unic, 31 | present is sure to come to a person when the Lord is pleased
110 Unic, 31 | yet in that particular person the fault may be a virtue,
111 Unic, 31 | careless about this. If any person wishing to make progress
112 Unic, 31 | it is that this sort of person will not realize that he
113 Unic, 32 | One day it happened that a person to whom I was talking,254
114 Unic, 32 | companion, who was to be the person to effect this, had no resources
115 Unic, 32 | to the whole place and a person whom God keeps there for
116 Unic, 33 | began to contrive that one person after another should hear
117 Unic, 33 | had he to me, nor was he a person about whom I had ever previously
118 Unic, 34 | Majesty aroused a great person to serve Him in real earnest
119 Unic, 34 | as she was an important person and knew that I lived in
120 Unic, 34 | occasions and who was a person of great importance.279
121 Unic, 34 | like this -- I never see a person whom I like very much without
122 Unic, 34 | favour. Think what a good person he is for us to have as
123 Unic, 34 | Majesty should allow such a person as myself to speak to Him
124 Unic, 34 | must surely do for this person what I begged of Him. He
125 Unic, 34 | take messages to a third person, especially if I am not
126 Unic, 34 | often the Lord grants to one person less contemplation in twenty
127 Unic, 34 | spiritual, he may not direct a person of spirituality. But in
128 Unic, 34 | in this way with such a person, but the Lord must have
129 Unic, 34 | reputation had been started by a person whom he had helped a great
130 Unic, 35 | that it were possible for a person in my state of life to go
131 Unic, 35 | happen to discover that some person wants it whom I love better
132 Unic, 35 | shall be affording that person pleasure. And as the pleasure
133 Unic, 35 | as I am such a grateful person by temperament, I could
134 Unic, 36 | the way he urged first one person and then another to come
135 Unic, 36 | What with one person and what with another, I
136 Unic, 36(314)| seems therefore to be the person referred to.~
137 Unic, 36 | everything, as he was the person who helped us most. I told
138 Unic, 36 | then came forward another person, a zealous and devoted servant
139 Unic, 36 | anything else, nor does such a person understand them. We observe
140 Unic, 37 | began to realize that a person liked me, and I took to
141 Unic, 37 | have only to look at Thy person to see at once that Thou
142 Unic, 37 | recognized as such in his own person; for, however much he may
143 Unic, 38 | being an extremely kind person, she had some very valuable
144 Unic, 38 | going to live. For if a person has to go and settle in
145 Unic, 38 | word of this kind makes a person more keenly aware of his
146 Unic, 38 | a place where a certain person had died after leading for
147 Unic, 38 | devil to dishonour that person's soul, though he was not
148 Unic, 38 | kindnesses.343 He had been a person of many virtues. When I
149 Unic, 39 | Lord to give sight to a person to whom I was under a certain
150 Unic, 39 | before the Lord restored that person's sight. My confessor heard
151 Unic, 39 | another occasion there was a person348 very ill with a most
152 Unic, 39 | because I learned that a person to whom I was under great
153 Unic, 39 | greatest distress, for he was a person whom I dearly loved and
154 Unic, 39 | other kind. I am like a person whose tongue is tied: desire
155 Unic, 39 | the other case I am like a person speaking clearly and alertly
156 Unic, 39 | Who can give more to one person in six months than to another
157 Unic, 39 | him true humility: such a person will judge these spirits
158 Unic, 39 | rewarded; but any spiritual person who thinks that the mere
159 Unic, 39 | Lord always sent me some person coming from Him who would
160 Unic, 40 | Yet, if it seeks such a person unsuccessfully, the Lord
161 Unic, 40 | doing so than is a sensible person of either grieving or glorying
