56 Unic, 4 | passed over that, for such great care seemed to me almost
57 Unic, 4 | think it would have been a great blessing. It is true that
58 Unic, 4 | solitude and aridity cause it great distress and its thoughts

71 Unic, 5 | although God turned this into a great blessing. There was a priest83
72 Unic, 5 | of really good family and great intelligence, and also of
73 Unic, 5 | some learning, though not a great deal. I began to make my
74 Unic, 5 | of it have done my soul great harm, and I have not always
75 Unic, 5 | broad-minded way and gave me a great deal of freedom: if they
76 Unic, 5 | to warn others against so great an evil, for I see clearly
77 Unic, 5 | confusion, and, out of the great affection that he had for
78 Unic, 5 | household. I then realized what great trouble the poor man had
79 Unic, 5 | order to do good, however great. As a rule, I used to speak
80 Unic, 5 | Our Lady must have been a great help to him, for he was
81 Unic, 5 | day commemorating it as a great festival. In the end, he
82 Unic, 5 | was anything wrong in the great affection that he had for
83 Unic, 5 | nothing but liquid, had a great distaste for food, was in
84 Unic, 5 | Altogether I was in a state of great misery.~
85 Unic, 5 | Majesty gave me to have been a great favour from the Lord, for,
86 Unic, 5 | Him that it came. It was a great help to my patience that
87 Unic, 5 | could bear everything with great resignation. All my conversation
88 Unic, 5 | he might have done me great harm. That night I had a
89 Unic, 5 | My father was in great distress because he had
90 Unic, 6 | her resignation in such great trials; and how she took
91 Unic, 6 | mediator and advocate; and the great profit that this brought
92 Unic, 6 | because of this and of my great weakness my throat was choking
93 Unic, 6 | God. All this I bore with great resignation, and, except
94 Unic, 6 | except at the beginning, with great joy; for none of it could
95 Unic, 6 | this condition for ever. My great yearning, I think, was to
96 Unic, 6 | frequently, and talked a great deal about God, in such
97 Unic, 6 | to be able to endure such great sufferings with such great
98 Unic, 6 | great sufferings with such great joy.~
99 Unic, 6 | within me, although not in great strength, for they were
100 Unic, 6 | because I was conscious of the great favour which the Lord bestowed
101 Unic, 6 | me these tears and this great repentance. I used to try
102 Unic, 6 | I bore my sickness with great joy, I none the less desired
103 Unic, 6 | but for which they have a great affection. Since then it
104 Unic, 6 | I am astonished at the great favours which God has bestowed
105 Unic, 6 | there are many who have great devotion to him through
106 Unic, 6 | glorious saint, for I have great experience of the blessings
107 Unic, 6 | wish, and at unnecessarily great length about others: in
108 Unic, 6 | will see by experience what great advantages come from his
109 Unic, 6 | death's door and in such great peril of damnation; after
110 Unic, 6 | me which I would not with great resolution undertake for
111 Unic, 7 | saying my prayers, reading a great deal, speaking about God,
112 Unic, 7 | have pictures of Him in a great many places, wanting an
113 Unic, 7 | even more, and they had great confidence in me. For I
114 Unic, 7 | ponder deliberately and with great care -- that it would be
115 Unic, 7 | then, that it is a very great danger for women in a convent
116 Unic, 7 | Lord in very truth and with great perfection, so that His
117 Unic, 7 | seems to me, as I say, a great pity; for, when a convent
118 Unic, 7 | warn me and enlighten my great blindness. Christ revealed
119 Unic, 7 | to me, in an attitude of great sternness, and showed me
120 Unic, 7 | It did me great harm not to know that it
121 Unic, 7 | anyone, and after a time great importunity was brought
122 Unic, 7 | too -- something like a great toad, but crawling much
123 Unic, 7 | there a long time and was a great servant of God and devoted
124 Unic, 7 | clear my wickedness and the great goodness of God and to show
125 Unic, 7 | and to show how by this great ingratitude of mine I had
126 Unic, 7 | about what was in reality a great danger. I would never have
127 Unic, 7 | said, I was the cause of a great deal of wrongdoing without
128 Unic, 7 | to see me, for he derived great comfort from speaking of
129 Unic, 7 | With a little care, great blessings can be acquired
130 Unic, 7 | this in order to show how great was my blindness, which
131 Unic, 7 | severe that it caused him great anguish. I said to him that,
132 Unic, 7 | very good man and had a great fear of God, was of the
133 Unic, 7 | confessions to him and he took great pains to lead my soul aright
134 Unic, 7 | the things of God gave me great pleasure, yet I was tied
135 Unic, 7 | of the senses. I suffered great trials in prayer, for the
136 Unic, 7 | sovereign bounty regarded not my great sins but the desires which
137 Unic, 7 | chastise my faults with great favours. And I do not believe
138 Unic, 7 | It is a great evil for a soul beset by
139 Unic, 7 | this if I had not had a great deal of experience of its
140 Unic, 8 | CHAPTER VIII - Treats of the great benefit which she derived
141 Unic, 8 | to practise it. Says what great gain it brings and how great
142 Unic, 8 | great gain it brings and how great a benefit it is, even for
143 Unic, 8 | which had received such great favours could be so obstinate
144 Unic, 8 | Nevertheless, I can see how great was the Lord's mercy to
145 Unic, 8 | Another reason is to show what great blessings God grants to
146 Unic, 8 | the Lord, not to miss so great a blessing. There is no
147 Unic, 8 | and of glory and of the great trials and griefs which
148 Unic, 8 | they are serving God at great cost to themselves. But
149 Unic, 8 | As I shall have a great deal to say about these
150 Unic, 8 | prayer is the door to those great favours which He has bestowed
151 Unic, 8 | we wish God to grant us great favours!~
152 Unic, 8 | He showed me and what a great blessing it was for me that
153 Unic, 8 | of Our Lord, and for the great love wherewith He is continually
154 Unic, 8 | they thought I was doing a great deal. But in my heart of
155 Unic, 8 | In one way I used to find great comfort in sermons; in another,
156 Unic, 8 | sought for a remedy, and took great trouble to find one, but
157 Unic, 9 | give her light amid such great darkness, and to strengthen
158 Unic, 9 | what He suffered for us. So great was my distress when I thought
159 Unic, 9 | I had a great devotion to the glorious
160 Unic, 9 | sure that my soul gained a great deal in this way, because
161 Unic, 9 | soul must either gain a great deal or lose itself -- I
162 Unic, 9 | thus far will do so only at great cost to themselves, save
163 Unic, 9(102)| be (sic) gained or lost a great deal -- I mean (its) meditation (
164 Unic, 9 | I ever seen it. I have a great affection for Saint Augustine,
165 Unic, 9 | sinner. I used to find a great deal of comfort in reading
166 Unic, 9(103)| Leonor de Mascare-as, a great friend of St. Teresa (cf.
167 Unic, 9 | time dissolved in tears, in great distress and affliction.
168 Unic, 9 | I believe my soul gained great strength from the Divine
169 Unic, 9 | others strive to acquire with great labour -- that is to say,
170 Unic, 9 | and in truth He showed me great mercy in allowing me to
171 Unic, 9 | when I was suffering from great aridity -- do I remember
172 Unic, 10 | commanded to describe in great detail the favours granted
173 Unic, 10 | however, that we can do a great deal towards the obtaining
174 Unic, 10 | ingratitude to God, on the great things that He has done
175 Unic, 10 | His love for us, and a great deal more. Anyone really
176 Unic, 10 | be requiting us with the great gift of the comfort which
177 Unic, 10 | that it is weeping for so great a Lord; and I do not wonder
178 Unic, 10 | labours in the world, so great is the gain which it brings
179 Unic, 10 | has arrived thus far give great praise to God and recognize
180 Unic, 10 | itself incapable of receiving great blessings, with the result
181 Unic, 10 | courage necessary for doing great things. For we are so miserable
182 Unic, 10 | abhorrence of all, or the other great virtues possessed by the
183 Unic, 10 | them to perform works of great perfection, whereas I, wretched
184 Unic, 10 | present, this will give me great comfort. But I do not make
185 Unic, 10 | for writing, and that with great difficulty, for it hinders
186 Unic, 10 | other case, I should have great scruples about writing at
187 Unic, 10 | these things with men of great learning and persons who
188 Unic, 11 | so greatly loved us. So great a dignity is this that thinking
189 Unic, 11 | not at once enjoying so great a dignity. If we attain
190 Unic, 11 | we should enjoy only at a great price.~
191 Unic, 11 | nothing on earth with which so great a blessing can be purchased;
192 Unic, 11 | that is a resolution of great merit; but we often begin
193 Unic, 11 | of God is this! We expect great handfuls of it, as one might
194 Unic, 11 | The Lord shows exceeding great mercy to him whom He gives
195 Unic, 11 | little courage but a very great deal, and much help from
196 Unic, 11 | flowers which shall send forth great fragrance to give refreshment
197 Unic, 11 | from a well, which costs us great labour; or by a water-wheel
198 Unic, 11 | recollected, which is a great labour because they have
199 Unic, 11 | Majesty, perhaps to our great advantage, He is pleased
200 Unic, 11 | which he hopes for from the great labour of lowering the bucket
201 Unic, 11 | work in the garden of so great an Emperor; and, as he knows
202 Unic, 11 | Him), let him render Him great praise for having placed
203 Unic, 11 | recompense, he is taking such great care of that which He had
204 Unic, 11 | He trusts them with His great treasures. I believe it
205 Unic, 11 | which come later are of such great dignity that before He grants
206 Unic, 11 | His. It is an exceeding great favour that He shows us
207 Unic, 11 | has already travelled a great part of its journey. However
208 Unic, 11 | not to accept it and set a great deal of store by it, because
209 Unic, 11 | these, because it is of great importance that they should
210 Unic, 11 | doing so for four. I have a great deal of experience of this
211 Unic, 11 | I say this, for it is of great importance), that one must
212 Unic, 12 | joy; the grief also is of great merit. Of this nature are
213 Unic, 12 | acts of resolution to do great things for God and it can
214 Unic, 12 | to become enkindled with great love for His sacred Humanity
215 Unic, 12 | remains barren and suffers great aridity. And, as the foundation
216 Unic, 12 | in Heaven, and of God's great wisdom. I never did this
217 Unic, 12 | since and have made very great progress; and this gives
218 Unic, 12 | progress; and this gives me great longings that many more
219 Unic, 12 | generally realized, there is no great humility in this: it may
220 Unic, 12 | good many years doing a great deal of reading and understanding
221 Unic, 12 | that I have given are of great importance, I have said
222 Unic, 12 | elsewhere, and I have felt great confusion and shame in writing
223 Unic, 13 | We must have great confidence, for it is most
224 Unic, 13 | has the courage to attempt great things; the soul may not
225 Unic, 13 | could do nothing. This was a great help to me, as were also
226 Unic, 13 | first resolutions are of great importance, although during
227 Unic, 13 | believe the devil does a great deal of harm to those who
228 Unic, 13 | and ill to indulge in a great deal of fasting and in severe
229 Unic, 13 | we can strive to have a great contempt for the world,
230 Unic, 13 | not more quickly attain to great perfection. For the Lord
231 Unic, 13 | very much better. It is of great importance, when we begin
232 Unic, 13 | evil may be, it must be of great value to him when it is
233 Unic, 13 | which I did, for it was very great. So, over a period of many
234 Unic, 13 | addition, there is another great disadvantage in yielding
235 Unic, 13 | sign of perfection and of great zeal for God. I am not referring
236 Unic, 13 | will help us to acquire one great virtue -- namely, to consider
237 Unic, 13 | who use their intellects a great deal and from one subject
238 Unic, 13 | view is that this loss is a great gain; let them imagine themselves,
239 Unic, 13 | their taste, they provide great sustenance for the life
240 Unic, 13 | are to be found for the great afflictions and distress
241 Unic, 13 | Passion, but they derive great comfort and benefit from
242 Unic, 13 | experience, or he will make a great many mistakes and lead souls
243 Unic, 13 | soul, knowing that it is a great merit to be subject to its
244 Unic, 13 | Quiet, so she was suffering great trials.~
245 Unic, 13 | and again, for it is of great importance.) For there is
246 Unic, 13 | ashamed in the presence of so great a King and sees how little
247 Unic, 13 | It is of great importance, then, that the
248 Unic, 13 | as well, that is a very great advantage. But if all these
249 Unic, 13 | the truth. Learning is a great thing, for it teaches those
250 Unic, 13 | be getting involved in a great many subjects. I have always
251 Unic, 13 | has no learning it is a great inconvenience. It will help
252 Unic, 13 | alone, will be making a great mistake, if he is a religious,
253 Unic, 13 | are persons who with such great labour have attained to
254 Unic, 13 | without them amid these great storms which the Church
255 Unic, 13 | beginner in prayer, will derive great benefit from it, for this
256 Unic, 14 | more capable of enjoying so great a blessing, though sometimes
257 Unic, 14 | This water of great blessings and favours which
258 Unic, 14 | in the soul through the great satisfaction, both inward
259 Unic, 14 | right road. And it will be a great blessing for it to know
260 Unic, 14 | suffered much and lost a great deal of time. I am very
261 Unic, 14 | if the soul has not had a great deal of practice in prayer
262 Unic, 14 | If the soul has not had a great deal of experience it will
263 Unic, 14 | so I think it is a very great advantage to be immersed
264 Unic, 14 | hereafter), it used to give me great delight to think of my soul
265 Unic, 14 | By doing this we can gain great humility and then the flowers
266 Unic, 14 | say this without tears and great delight of soul that Thou,
267 Unic, 14 | hear these words they are a great comfort to me, as they were
268 Unic, 14 | one to have committed so great a wrong and been so excessively
269 Unic, 14 | my sins, the more has the great blessing of Thy mercies
270 Unic, 14 | good to work such exceeding great mercies in me that they
271 Unic, 15 | it, together with a very great joy and repose of the faculties
272 Unic, 15 | far should recognize the great dignity of its state and
273 Unic, 15 | impossible to forfeit so great a blessing save through
274 Unic, 15 | His Majesty has granted so great a favour as to attain to
275 Unic, 15 | road that had led us to so great a blessing. In talking to
276 Unic, 15 | that begins to kindle the great fire which (as I shall say
277 Unic, 15 | already choosing it for great things if it will prepare
278 Unic, 15 | to receive them. It is a great gift, much greater than
279 Unic, 15 | few, for there must be a great many of them, since God
280 Unic, 15 | and that these are like great logs of wood being heaped
281 Unic, 15 | The soul will lose a great deal if it is not careful
282 Unic, 15 | why God should grant us so great a favour, and to realize
283 Unic, 15 | prayer that comprises a great deal and achieves more than
284 Unic, 15 | myself, for charity is a great thing, and so is a constant
285 Unic, 15 | for this purpose find it a great help. But in the sight of
286 Unic, 15 | is due to His Majesty's great humility,126 we being what
287 Unic, 15 | difficult to speak except with great distress. In my own opinion,
288 Unic, 15 | It is a very great thing always to bear this
289 Unic, 15 | blessing that it brings is a great one, and for this reason
290 Unic, 15 | even those who have reached great heights of prayer will find
291 Unic, 15 | to what I was saying, the great foundation which we must
292 Unic, 15 | not to abandon it, however great the trials it may bring
293 Unic, 16 | effects produced by these great favours of the Lord. This
294 Unic, 16 | praises to God and to provide great consolation for those who
295 Unic, 16 | the fruition of exceeding great glory. It is like a person
296 Unic, 16 | helped by simplicity as great as mine that to-day, after
297 Unic, 16(137)| of high rank and caused a great sensation in the country.
298 Unic, 16 | say that their flame is as great as the Apostles' was, but
299 Unic, 16 | Reverence know what our great care ought to be? To hold
300 Unic, 16 | Oh, what great freedom we enjoy! It makes
301 Unic, 16 | complete possession of that great treasure until our life
302 Unic, 17 | certain; for the joy is so great that sometimes the soul
303 Unic, 17 | how it is beginning to do great things with the fragrance
304 Unic, 17 | and have fruition of, the great things that He is now doing.
305 Unic, 17 | it alone is experiencing great quiet, while, on the other
306 Unic, 17 | when experienced, gives great satisfaction and pleasure;
307 Unic, 17 | things of the world, it is a great benefit and favour to understand
308 Unic, 17 | very clear one of God's great power; the faculty which
309 Unic, 17 | showing us an exceeding great mercy if He allows us to
310 Unic, 17 | reduced them to ashes: so great are the blessings they are
311 Unic, 17 | repose of the soul are so great that the body shares in
312 Unic, 18 | an excellent way140 the great dignity conferred by the
313 Unic, 18 | chapter is meant for the great encouragement of those who
314 Unic, 18 | give some indication of the great joy that they feel; but
315 Unic, 18 | time everything would be a great hindrance and torment to
316 Unic, 18 | this fire increases with great force. This flame rises
317 Unic, 18 | if they are good, this is great bounty and magnanimity.
318 Unic, 18 | giving Thee thanks for such great favours, there is no way
319 Unic, 18 | love, eternal King, be so great as to imperil such precious
320 Unic, 18 | Thy wont, Lord, to do such great things for a soul and to
321 Unic, 18 | bestow it on me with these great favours.~
322 Unic, 18 | it its reward. And what a great reward that is! For even
323 Unic, 18 | swoon with an exceeding great and sweet delight. It gradually
324 Unic, 18 | even move its hands without great pain; its eyes involuntarily
325 Unic, 18 | outward joy experienced is great and most clearly recognized.~
326 Unic, 18 | can possibly be done by so great a blessing? The outward
327 Unic, 18 | there can be no doubt some great thing has taken place: we
328 Unic, 18 | us, which brought me very great comfort. It is to be noted
329 Unic, 19 | carefully and will be of great comfort to the weak and
330 Unic, 19 | union is left with a very great tenderness, of such a kind
331 Unic, 19 | shed them. But it derives great joy from seeing the vehemence
332 Unic, 19 | keep so exceeding and so great a favour. It also sees clearly
333 Unic, 19 | nor hear save by making a great effort and it can take little
334 Unic, 19 | and all the truth of God's great mercy is revealed. The understanding
335 Unic, 19 | be after receiving such great favours: then it will once
336 Unic, 19 | wish I were a person of great authority so that my words
337 Unic, 19 | than amazed at mercy so great and favour so immense, at
338 Unic, 19 | opinion of one of whose great wickedness all were not
339 Unic, 19 | persecution, and I think with great justification, so I conceived
340 Unic, 19 | of my ability and I had a great deal of ability for doing
341 Unic, 19 | as an illustration of His great mercies that He should have
342 Unic, 19 | need lest I should suffer a great fall! As I write I make
343 Unic, 19 | who, after receiving such great favours, was still as wicked
344 Unic, 19 | inspired me. It caused me a great deal of inward unrest. And
345 Unic, 19 | attain the point of receiving great favours from God in prayer,
346 Unic, 19 | other reasons, the soul has great need of a director and of
347 Unic, 20 | more important and it has a great many more operations, for
348 Unic, 20 | might believe this cloud of great Majesty to be with us here
349 Unic, 20 | giving Him thanks for this great blessing, and doing our
350 Unic, 20 | resistance, but at the cost of great exhaustion, for I would
351 Unic, 20 | thought there would be a great deal of talk about it; so
352 Unic, 20 | patronal festival, when some great ladies were present),151
353 Unic, 20 | nothing. This imprints in us great humility. Indeed, I confess
354 Unic, 20 | confess that in me it produced great fear -- at first a terrible
355 Unic, 20 | and there is produced a great fear of offending so great
356 Unic, 20 | great fear of offending so great a God, but a fear overpowered
357 Unic, 20 | very much to explain this great distress, but I am afraid
358 Unic, 20 | the Lord granted me such great consolations and favours.
359 Unic, 20 | this, have experienced that great extremity of loneliness.
360 Unic, 20 | a way that I believe its great distress sometimes robs
361 Unic, 20 | suffering brings with it such great happiness that I know of
362 Unic, 20 | and, in my opinion, for a great part of the time during
363 Unic, 20 | of purgatory, or of the great sins I have committed, for
364 Unic, 20 | clearly realized that it was a great favour, but this made me
365 Unic, 20 | expounding this at such great length is that I know that
366 Unic, 20 | receives in rapture is a great gift, and sometimes, as
367 Unic, 20 | know who has given it so great a blessing, but it distinctly
368 Unic, 20 | distinctly recognizes the very great benefit which each of these
369 Unic, 20 | disfigure it and its own great faults, but so bright is
370 Unic, 21 | after it rather than after great dominion! What uprightness
371 Unic, 21 | for the love of God. How great a blessing would such a
372 Unic, 21 | Give them to understand how great are their obligations. For
373 Unic, 21 | small one to run for so great a gain, and life becomes
374 Unic, 21 | s own eyes one sees the great delusion in which we are
375 Unic, 21 | religious life -- making a great fuss about niceties concerning
376 Unic, 21 | its crosses, but a life of great growth. Those with whom
377 Unic, 21 | God began to grant me this great favour, my troubles ceased,
378 Unic, 21 | communicates to it very great secrets.~
379 Unic, 21 | occur true revelations, great favours and visions, all
380 Unic, 22 | full of delight, and brings great joy. And in view of the
381 Unic, 22 | might clearly realize how great my error was and tell many
382 Unic, 22 | progress and achieve a very great spiritual freedom. There
383 Unic, 22 | can bear to think of such great trials as those which He
384 Unic, 22 | Him and He is to grant us great favours, that this should
385 Unic, 22 | Sovereign Majesty to show us great secrets. Therefore, Sir,174
386 Unic, 22 | number of saints who were great contemplatives and I find
387 Unic, 22 | which it could not have such great fruition save by losing
388 Unic, 22 | itself to be of God. It is a great thing for us, while we live
389 Unic, 22 | of no importance, does a great deal of harm to those who
390 Unic, 22 | consolations; come what may, the great thing for us to do is to
391 Unic, 22 | they were meriting some great blessing. I do not mean
392 Unic, 22 | favours upon us, and how great is the love which God has
393 Unic, 22 | revealed it to us at such great cost to Himself. Amen.~
394 Unic, 22 | for anyone who receives so great a favour ought not to seek
395 Unic, 22 | seem to produce results of great and growing sublimity --
396 Unic, 22 | know is that there is a great difference between the degree
397 Unic, 22 | it; while those who eat a great deal derive life and strength.
398 Unic, 23 | sweetness which I felt were so great and often I could not help
399 Unic, 23(181)| foundation St. Teresa owed a great deal of the spiritual help
400 Unic, 23 | timid. God help me, what a great mistake I was making by
401 Unic, 23 | hand.183 He knows that the great means of progress for a
402 Unic, 23(184)| confessor and helped her a great deal with the foundation
403 Unic, 23 | greatly benefited by him: such great talents has he that, although
404 Unic, 23 | use them. He is a man of great intelligence, and very gentle
405 Unic, 23 | and holy, that it gives great delight to those with whom
406 Unic, 23 | directs all he does to the great good of the souls with whom
407 Unic, 23 | permits. His wife, too, is so great a servant of God and so
408 Unic, 23 | who God knew would be a great servant of His.~
409 Unic, 23 | deal to do with another great servant of God who was married
410 Unic, 23 | speak with me: he was a great friend of this gentleman
411 Unic, 23 | to see me. It showed what great humility he had, that he
412 Unic, 23 | rid of. O humility, what great blessings dost thou bring
413 Unic, 23 | imperfections, though they would be great faults in the life of a
414 Unic, 23 | vanquishing the devil. So great was the love which I began
415 Unic, 23 | afraid lest on account of my great sins God might be blinding
416 Unic, 23 | drowning. This is a very great trial, and I have experienced
417 Unic, 23 | but it may possibly be of great advantage to learn how spirituality
418 Unic, 23 | very weak, and may come to great harm if we are told in so
419 Unic, 23 | for I have been caused great distress by the indiscretion
420 Unic, 23 | other they have done me great harm, divulging things which
421 Unic, 23 | should be counselled with great discretion, and encouraged,
422 Unic, 23 | so, I should have come to great harm, so timorous was I
423 Unic, 23 | of God188 considered with great charity and love what would
424 Unic, 23 | it was to tell me with great distress that to the best
425 Unic, 23 | these Fathers were men of great experience in spiritual
426 Unic, 23 | one to direct me I was in great peril.~
427 Unic, 23 | I was in an oratory, in great affliction, and not knowing
428 Unic, 23 | using me in order to help a great number of people and perhaps
429 Unic, 23 | different person. What a great thing it is to understand
430 Unic, 24 | must go apart by myself a great deal, and so I had hardly
431 Unic, 24 | this, I thought, would be a great failing, since it would
432 Unic, 24 | this and to be receiving great favours and graces from
433 Unic, 24 | one who had himself made great progress: in this matter
434 Unic, 24 | ability, which was very great.~
435 Unic, 24 | given to prayer, and had a great deal to do with these Fathers.
436 Unic, 24 | of life brought my soul great benefit.~
437 Unic, 24 | and he treated me with great skill, yet also very gently,
438 Unic, 24 | offend God. There was a great deal of affection beneath

440 Unic, 24(196)| Medina del Campo, was of great use to her in connection
441 Unic, 24 | and it had caused me such great distress that I had put
442 Unic, 24 | determined I was it caused them great edification.~
443 Unic, 25 | locution is of God, I have a great deal of evidence, as I have
444 Unic, 25 | some matter to God with great affection and concern will
445 Unic, 25 | immediately, for there is a great difference between true
446 Unic, 25 | we should to a person of great holiness, learning and authority
447 Unic, 25 | have said, it has cost me a great deal of trouble.~
448 Unic, 25 | being left in a state of great aridity, the soul suffers
449 Unic, 25 | us always to proceed with great caution, for persons who
450 Unic, 25 | itself in possession of this great strength, and is not helped
451 Unic, 25 | aware of any immediate harm, great harm might be caused it
452 Unic, 25 | can befall us, although a great deal has befallen me through
453 Unic, 25 | of people in whom I had great confidence, and rightly
454 Unic, 25 | helping me, for they had a great affection for me and feared
455 Unic, 25 | these people, all of them great servants of God, and my
456 Unic, 25 | being alone, which was my great comfort; and I had had no
457 Unic, 25 | thousand perils to cause me great suffering. O my Lord, how
458 Unic, 25 | own defence. That is the great pity of it. If only we will
459 Unic, 25 | confessors, can upset people a great deal, and for several years
460 Unic, 26 | look upon as one of the great favours He has bestowed
461 Unic, 26 | all-powerful and a Lord so great that He can do everything
462 Unic, 26 | danger and are bound to reap great benefit, as the Lord has
463 Unic, 26 | who used to mortify me a great deal and would sometimes
464 Unic, 26 | good.207 Though I had a great love for him, I was several

471 Unic, 27 | may have fruition of so great a blessing. It brings great

477 Unic, 27 | Only a single drop of the great and abundant river which
478 Unic, 27 | not comport himself with great circumspection and make
479 Unic, 27 | such scandals as these to great advantage. If some were

493 Unic, 28 | for the soul to suffer the great loneliness and aridity that
