14  Unic,  11|                             I am not saying this so much for beginners (
15  Unic,  13|              hand they would hear me saying so much about the blessedness
16  Unic,  13|       Returning, then, to what I was saying, we begin to meditate upon
17  Unic,  13|              not make the mistake of saying that learned men who do
18  Unic,  13|              Returning to what I was saying -- the meditation upon Christ
19  Unic,  14|              that it is not I who am saying this; for I am not putting
20  Unic,  15|            if I understand what I am saying, because, as I have said,
21  Unic,  15|            knowledge that what it is saying is the truth; and let it
22  Unic,  15|          Returning now to what I was saying, the great foundation which
23  Unic,  15|              I should grow weary, by saying that this prayer is the
24  Unic,  18|       learning to express. What I am saying is the whole truth; and
25  Unic,  19|          Thou didst answer me, Lord, saying "Serve thou Me, and meddle
26  Unic,  19|              the thread of what I am saying and of what I still have
27  Unic,  20|       entirely spiritual one, and in saying that I do not think I am
28  Unic,  20|              I do not know what I am saying; but, if my words are at
29  Unic,  22|               who know what they are saying, and God leads souls along
30  Unic,  22|              will conclude, then, by saying that, whenever we think
31  Unic,  23|              not hear my confession, saying that he was very much occupied,
32  Unic,  23|      religious like myself. I am not saying this without a reason; I
33  Unic,  23|       exactly this that I was always saying -- that when I was experiencing
34  Unic,  25|             to what someone else was saying to him. The understanding
35  Unic,  25| understanding is composing what I am saying, whereas, if I am being
36  Unic,  25|        explain it. And I will end by saying that, if all locutions came
37  Unic,  25|          wishes to deceive people by saying that he has heard from God
38  Unic,  25|      necessarily believes what it is saying, but the devil is certainly
39  Unic,  25|             we say, when we might be saying "God! God!" and making the
40  Unic,  27|           attending to what they are saying. But in this experience
41  Unic,  27|             experience that all I am saying now is true and that what
42  Unic,  27|               Reflect that what I am saying is barely a fraction of
43  Unic,  27|           But what a lot I have been saying in order to incite Your
44  Unic,  28|                             I am not saying this as a comparison, for
45  Unic,  28|          without thinking what I was saying and my words seemed to these
46  Unic,  29|             I heard that people were saying things to them against me.
47  Unic,  30|        anyone in this condition from saying or doing anything which
48  Unic,  30|             of the things I had been saying and doing. At other times,
49  Unic,  31|              not hear what they were saying, however: so deeply immersed
50  Unic,  31|            his life, and yet went on saying Mass. And, though he confessed
51  Unic,  31|              well, I made a point of saying so. At first, this hurt
52  Unic,  34|            without knowing what I am saying; for it is love that speaks,
53  Unic,  34|              in that way, I remember saying these words: "Lord, Thou
54  Unic,  34|          lost is himself lost": that saying is appropriate here. And
55  Unic,  34|       Returning, then, to what I was saying: As I looked at that soul
56  Unic,  35|             see at once about going, saying that this was clearly the
57  Unic,  36|           and the prayers I had been saying almost continuously for
58  Unic,  36|             speaking the truth -- in saying that I was more wicked than
59  Unic,  36|              light of what they were saying. Finally, I was commanded
60  Unic,  36|          distressed by all they were saying about me than I should have
61  Unic,  36|           believe what they had been saying about me made me rather
62  Unic,  36|              he had written to me321 saying he was delighted the foundation
63  Unic,  37|         things, as it chanced, I was saying, while realizing all the
64  Unic,  37|              I do not know what I am saying, and I use all the sense
65  Unic,  37|              of Heaven and that this saying may have been wrongly interpreted.
66  Unic,  38|            no sooner had he finished saying Mass than he would go for
67  Unic,  38|             now return to what I was saying. As the Lord began to remind
68  Unic,  38|             Ah, I know not what I am saying, for I am writing this almost
69  Unic,  39|             catch what the voice was saying, but I could not, and very
70  Unic,  40|                 All that I have been saying I learned, sometimes by
