10  Unic,  16     |        allow me to be. You are my confessor, my father,135 and it is
11  Unic,  20     |       certain of the fact, and my confessor tells me that all is well.
12  Unic,  23(184)|        some time was St. Teresa's confessor and helped her a great deal
13  Unic,  23     |       thought of having him as my confessor and director. When he had
14  Unic,  23(190)|       danos, who was St. Teresa's confessor for two months and probably
15  Unic,  23(190)|         probably the first Jesuit confessor she ever had. He died at
16  Unic,  24     |         in my habits, although my confessor did not press me to do so
17  Unic,  24     |          the penances Himself. My confessor ordered me to practise certain
18  Unic,  24     |           Company of Jesus.194 My confessor and the gentleman I have
19  Unic,  24     |                About this time my confessor was transferred elsewhere.
20  Unic,  24     |         set about getting another confessor from the Company. It was
21  Unic,  24     |         my confessions to her own confessor and I stayed in her house
22  Unic,  24(196)|           of her. He acted as her confessor from 1559 to 1564, and in
23  Unic,  24     |          there was no need for my confessor to give me any further commands.
24  Unic,  24     |       into practice. So I told my confessor this and gave up everything,
25  Unic,  25     |           servants of God, and my confessor told me that they had all
26  Unic,  25     |          it all. Others warned my confessor to be on his guard against
27  Unic,  25     |   deception of the devil. Only my confessor consistently comforted me,
28  Unic,  26     |      granted us by the Lord, to a confessor who is a man of learning,
29  Unic,  26     |          have often done. I had a confessor who used to mortify me a
30  Unic,  26     |           yet I believe he is the confessor who has done me most good.207
31  Unic,  26     |          than anything done by my confessor. Sometimes, what with the
32  Unic,  26     |                                 A confessor to whom I had gone in my
33  Unic,  26     |           speak about them to the confessor, I would be so distressed
34  Unic,  26     |        very badly advised by that confessor and that when I made my
35  Unic,  26     |         command in prayer and the confessor told me to do something
36  Unic,  26     |     Majesty would then change the confessor's mind so that he came back
37  Unic,  27     |    troubled, I went at once to my confessor, to tell him about it. He
38  Unic,  27     |                                My confessor then asked me who told me
39  Unic,  28     |          of the body, and then my confessor would not tell me I was
40  Unic,  28     |      having spoken about it to my confessor and wondered if I had been
41  Unic,  28     |         anything. Occasionally my confessor used to be astounded at
42  Unic,  28     |           spoken of it only to my confessor and to those with whom he
43  Unic,  28     |           my soul had changed: my confessor himself testified to this,
44  Unic,  28     |                                My confessor, who, as I have said, was
45  Unic,  28     |       more during which he was my confessor,224 I gave him a great deal
46  Unic,  28     |       this reached the ears of my confessor (for they were certainly
47  Unic,  29     |      lacking in humility. With my confessor, however, I did discuss
48  Unic,  29     |          but He would see that my confessor learned the truth. When
49  Unic,  30     |         to speak of it save to my confessor, for to have done so would
50  Unic,  30     |          me any more disquiet. My confessor hardly needed the advice.
51  Unic,  30     |         doubts I might have to my confessor; and, provided I did this,
52  Unic,  30     |  certainly useless to go to one's confessor. I will tell you what often
53  Unic,  30     |      displeasure permissible in a confessor. Their aim must have been
54  Unic,  31     |          in particular my present confessor,243 who saw a written account
55  Unic,  31     |           myself to God. Until my confessor set my fears at rest, I
56  Unic,  31     |         nobody knew me.245 But my confessor never allowed me to go.~
57  Unic,  31     |        always my great desire. My confessor told me not to do this;
58  Unic,  32     |       religious? I was to tell my confessor this257 and to say that
59  Unic,  32     |        otherwise than speak to my confessor about it and give him a
60  Unic,  33     |       sanction the foundation, my confessor at once forbade me to go
61  Unic,  33     | distressed and ashamed -- even my confessor could not really believe
62  Unic,  33     |           that on one occasion my confessor264 wrote me a letter of
63  Unic,  33     |     multitude of persecutions, my confessor, whom I had expected to
64  Unic,  33     |          He told me to do what my confessor ordered me and to keep silence
65  Unic,  33     |         obedience which I owed my confessor, he discussed it with my
66  Unic,  33(267)|          was P. Dionisio V‡zquez, confessor of St. Francis Borgia and

68  Unic,  33     |           the minister who was my confessor, but told him that, as there
69  Unic,  33     |      Rector came to see me and my confessor told me to consult him with
70  Unic,  33     |        reasons and aims before my confessor and this Rector so that
71  Unic,  33     |                                My confessor now gave me leave once more
72  Unic,  34(277)|         later became St. Teresa's confessor.~
73  Unic,  34     |       always mentioned them to my confessor and to that widow who was
74  Unic,  34     |      prepare for death. I told my confessor about this, but he would
75  Unic,  35     |       shared my own -- neither my confessor nor the learned men whom
76  Unic,  35     |         possibly could. I told my confessor302 about it. He ordered
77  Unic,  35     |        let me leave, and, when my confessor saw the state I was in,
78  Unic,  35     |     indebted -- in particular, my confessor, a priest of the Society
79  Unic,  36     |         had not even been given a confessor.~
80  Unic,  38     |          much ashamed to go to my confessor about it -- not, I think,
81  Unic,  38     |        about it, I went to see my confessor, for, however much it troubled
82  Unic,  38     |  Sometimes it has chanced that my confessor has rebuked me, and, when
83  Unic,  38     |          Until I had talked to my confessor about it I was terribly
84  Unic,  38(346)|          as; for some time he was confessor at the Incarnation.~
85  Unic,  39     |           that person's sight. My confessor heard of it at once. It

87  Unic,  39     |           sometimes say now to my confessor, I think more courage is
88  Unic,  40     |     discuss the matter with one's confessor. All that I am saying now
89  Unic,  40     |         relations of penitent and confessor, and the type of confessor
90  Unic,  40     |        confessor, and the type of confessor to be chosen, are very important
