 1  Intr,   0|          thou undanted daughter of desires! ~By all thy dowr of Lights
 2  Unic,   1|       saints, began to awaken good desires in me when I was, I suppose,
 3  Unic,   1|           way of accomplishing our desires. But even now it gives me
 4  Unic,   1|         keep sincerely to the good desires which I had begun.~
 5  Unic,   2|       mother began to cool my good desires and lead me to other kinds
 6  Unic,   3|     companionship helped to awaken desires in her and the way in which
 7  Unic,   3|          bring back my thoughts to desires for eternal things, and
 8  Unic,   4|       reward me for any of my good desires. However wretched and imperfect
 9  Unic,   5|            to obtain their earthly desires, women can get more from
10  Unic,   6|            hand, and I find I have desires and resolutions -- tested
11  Unic,   7|          not my great sins but the desires which I so often had to
12  Unic,   7|           the strength to turn the desires into actions.~
13  Unic,   7|          though my resolutions and desires -- at that time, I mean --
14  Unic,   7|     friendship which such a person desires to have with His Majesty
15  Unic,   7|      please God to hide their good desires, while inciting others,
16  Unic,   8|     confessors saw that I had good desires and was spending my time
17  Unic,  11|        make no effort to carry our desires into effect or to raise
18  Unic,  11|         this determination that He desires in us. The other afflictions
19  Unic,  11|          it from accomplishing its desires and make it suffer in all
20  Unic,  11|       misery, it cannot do what it desires because of its evil guest,
21  Unic,  12|        just such words as suit its desires and needs. This is an excellent
22  Unic,  13|          should not cramp our good desires, but should believe that,
23  Unic,  13|            this and to carry their desires continually into effect,
24  Unic,  13|           as they did. His Majesty desires and loves courageous souls
25  Unic,  13|            makes us have ambitious desires and want to imitate the
26  Unic,  13|           regard to this matter of desires, my own were always ambitious,
27  Unic,  13|          to a state in which these desires were carried into effect;
28  Unic,  14|             God, of His greatness, desires the soul to realize that
29  Unic,  14|           Emperor and Lord of ours desires us now to realize that He
30  Unic,  15|         and fixes its thoughts and desires upon Him, as it has already
31  Unic,  16|           rejoicing which the Lord desires a soul to experience while
32  Unic,  16|             if she is to live, she desires no repose in this life nor
33  Unic,  16|           nature, for it no longer desires to live to itself, but only
34  Unic,  16|          but it well knows that it desires nothing else but Thee.~
35  Unic,  16|            it is so humble that he desires to be addressed thus).134
36  Unic,  17|            greater joys in God and desires to satisfy its desire, to
37  Unic,  18|            the fact, even if it so desires (when actually experiencing
38  Unic,  19| resolutions and promises, that its desires become full of vigour, that
39  Unic,  19|       however sincere may be their desires and resolutions. This is
40  Unic,  20|            with our seeing that He desires to show us this favour,
41  Unic,  20|         not in Heaven, and when it desires no earthly comfort, and
42  Unic,  20|            no knowledge of what it desires. By "no knowledge", I mean
43  Unic,  20|        increased that it no longer desires solitude, as it did before,
44  Unic,  20|    conscious of its worth, that it desires it more than all the favours
45  Unic,  20|          he fear perils; rather he desires them, for through them,
46  Unic,  20|     himself, he wants nothing, and desires only that everything should
47  Unic,  20|            those whom it loves and desires to see set free from the
48  Unic,  21|           state, it has not merely desires to serve God: His Majesty
49  Unic,  21|            strength to carry these desires into effect. No way in which
50  Unic,  21|            peters out in words and desires, and even here I have no
51  Unic,  21|          finding people with these desires -- I mean desires coupled
52  Unic,  21|            these desires -- I mean desires coupled with works. I say "
53  Unic,  25|          be good. It may have good desires, but they are not strong
54  Unic,  25|           aridity? Who gives these desires? Who gives this courage?
55  Unic,  29|          matter with it or what it desires. It knows quite well that
56  Unic,  29|           knows quite well that it desires God and that the arrow seems
57  Unic,  30|             When he saw that I had desires which he himself had already
58  Unic,  30|         had bestowed very resolute desires upon me -- and when he found,
59  Unic,  30|           its improvement, for the desires begin at once to be aroused
60  Unic,  31|         this. They begin with good desires, and fervour, and determination
61  Unic,  32|  establishing a convent. I had had desires of this kind myself, so
62  Unic,  34|      regards not the words but the desires and the good-will with which
63  Unic,  34|          Majesty was fulfilling my desires and had heard my prayer
64  Unic,  35|         had already given me great desires for poverty. For my own
65  Unic,  35|        others were not given these desires by the Lord, they would
66  Unic,  36|           to serve the Lord and my desires to suffer for Him. I realized
67  Unic,  38|            a mockery. What my soul desires is what I have seen with
68  Unic,  38|           far away from it all, it desires death. In short, this is
69  Unic,  38|          and annihilate all life's desires; for, although -- glory
70  Unic,  38|       glory be to God! -- I had no desires for vain things, I was clearly
71  Unic,  38|            the soul to lift up its desires in purity of truth. It impresses
72  Unic,  39|            believe He increases my desires to serve Him and revives
73  Unic,  39|           wish to follow their own desires; and it never occurs to
74  Unic,  39|            another, with its fresh desires and its great fortitude.
75  Unic,  40|           become the aim of all my desires. He has given me a life
