501 Unic, 28 | confessor,224 I gave him a great deal of trouble with these
502 Unic, 28 | allowed me to be left in great fear. This all came from
503 Unic, 28 | and they must have seen a great many, they condemned me
504 Unic, 28 | it may be realized what a great trial it is to have no one
505 Unic, 28 | and that it was all for my great good.~
506 Unic, 29 | begun and describes certain great favours which the Lord showed
507 Unic, 29 | form any impression of His great beauty by means of the imagination?
508 Unic, 29 | I was looking upon that great beauty of His, and experiencing
509 Unic, 29 | always considered them a great favour from the Lord, and
510 Unic, 29 | vision away. This caused me great distress: as I could not
511 Unic, 29 | imperfection, which may in great part be due to the senses.
512 Unic, 29 | already referred to and do a great deal of harm. I used at
513 Unic, 29 | fit to return to prayer. Great discretion, then, is necessary
514 Unic, 29 | express themselves interiorly; great care should be taken to
515 Unic, 29 | that, from the exceeding great love which the Lord bears
516 Unic, 29 | but its initial pain is so great that I know of no physical
517 Unic, 29 | well aware that there is a great difference between certain
518 Unic, 29 | completely afire with a great love for God. The pain was
519 Unic, 29 | share in it -- indeed, a great share. So sweet are the
520 Unic, 29 | who so ill requites such great benefits.~
521 Unic, 30 | how the Lord granted her great relief from her trials by
522 Unic, 30 | to grant me relief from a great part of my trials, and,
523 Unic, 30 | which are being used a great deal nowadays; as he was
524 Unic, 30 | nowadays; as he was a man with great experience of prayer, his
525 Unic, 30 | learned that this great man was here. She knew of
526 Unic, 30 | afflictions and used to afford me great consolation, her faith being
527 Unic, 30 | she is a person of very great intelligence and is also
528 Unic, 30 | receive counsels which were of great benefit to her soul. Well,
529 Unic, 30 | churches, and later I had a great deal to do with him on many
530 Unic, 30 | confidently believe. He derived great happiness from what I said
531 Unic, 30 | and ever afterwards took a great interest in me and told
532 Unic, 30 | earnestly to God; for so great was his humility that he
533 Unic, 30 | distress, I bore these with great joy. It was when both kinds
534 Unic, 30 | together that my trials were so great and caused me such deep
535 Unic, 30 | a dream, and this was a great distress to me. For, when
536 Unic, 30 | comforted to see what a great favour God is granting us
537 Unic, 30 | time when I would derive great comfort from prayer. What
538 Unic, 30 | deceived.240 This was a great comfort to me.~
539 Unic, 30 | invariably received favours in great abundance. My soul seemed
540 Unic, 30 | grace. This did not cause me great distress, for I derived
541 Unic, 30 | conscious of the exceeding great favour which the Lord bestows
542 Unic, 30 | bodily health is having a great deal to do with it. I often
543 Unic, 30 | There was another great trial, too, which I suffered.
544 Unic, 30 | occur to me that it showed a great lack of humility to suppose
545 Unic, 30 | than feed on some of God's great favours; it does not mind
546 Unic, 30 | very calm wind: one makes great headway, but without knowing
547 Unic, 30 | This love is also like a great fire, which has always to
548 Unic, 30 | anything for Him. It is a very great grief; for, when a soul
549 Unic, 30 | Let the soul give great praise to the Lord when
550 Unic, 30 | I cannot help omitting a great deal, for otherwise I should
551 Unic, 31 | there seemed to be coming a great flame, which was intensely
552 Unic, 31(242)| Lit.: "had made me give great blows."]~
553 Unic, 31 | so holy water must have great virtue. For my own part,
554 Unic, 31 | I often reflect on the great importance of everything
555 Unic, 31 | as if I had been dealt a great many blows. It edified me
556 Unic, 31 | dreadful thing. He had a great desire to give it up but
557 Unic, 31 | serve the Lord can do a great deal and I believe the sisters
558 Unic, 31 | the nuns had sprinkled a great deal of holy water about
559 Unic, 31 | them. We always derive some great benefit from these experiences,
560 Unic, 31 | incident, which caused me great alarm. One Trinity Sunday,
561 Unic, 31 | while in a rapture, I saw a great battle between devils and
562 Unic, 31 | not, which did the house great harm. It was a conflict
563 Unic, 31 | a long time and caused a great deal of commotion. On other
564 Unic, 31 | occasions I saw around me a great multitude of devils, and
565 Unic, 31 | seemed to be enveloped by a great light, which prevented them
566 Unic, 31 | of me. I have suffered a great deal from this, and suffer
567 Unic, 31 | troubled. This calmed me a great deal and whenever I think
568 Unic, 31 | favours -- which is always my great desire. My confessor told
569 Unic, 31 | And so, as I say, he needs great courage. His poor soul has
570 Unic, 31 | men expect him to rise to great occasions and be as brave
571 Unic, 31 | praising the Lord and also for great sorrow of heart, since so
572 Unic, 31 | nature of ours should have great confidence, and not be dismayed
573 Unic, 31 | As I have a great deal of experience here,
574 Unic, 31 | conversation. Then a matter of great importance cropped up and
575 Unic, 31 | with the aid of prayer and great effort on our part. It seems
576 Unic, 31 | ever allow him to lose so great a blessing. His Majesty
577 Unic, 31 | enumeration, to set beside the great favours that I have received
578 Unic, 31 | requited such exceeding great favours and that despite
579 Unic, 32 | together with other very great ones, I was at prayer one
580 Unic, 32 | quite clearly that it was a great favour and that it was the
581 Unic, 32 | experience because of the great number of souls who are
582 Unic, 32 | especially dear to us suffering great trial or pain, our very
583 Unic, 32 | possibly endure it without great affliction. For even earthly
584 Unic, 32 | illnesses, and bore them with great patience, which the Lord
585 Unic, 32 | seen this vision, and other great things and secrets which,
586 Unic, 32 | degree worthy to gain so great a blessing. I desired, therefore,
587 Unic, 32 | and I was one who did it a great deal) was a serious drawback
588 Unic, 32 | met and these did them a great deal of good.~
589 Unic, 32 | to be established; that great service would be done to
590 Unic, 32 | So great was the effect upon me of
591 Unic, 32 | it had not been with any great degree of determination
592 Unic, 32 | done. I felt now that a great burden was being laid upon
593 Unic, 32 | should be rendering God a great service and that the scheme
594 Unic, 32 | on prayer, would lead to great perfection, and though he
595 Unic, 33 | What troubled me a great deal was that on one occasion
596 Unic, 33 | all but had rendered Him great service. He told me to do
597 Unic, 33 | persecutions for His sake, for so great was the growth in my soul
598 Unic, 33 | straits by granting me such great favours. It was now that
599 Unic, 33 | and people came to me in great concern to say that these
600 Unic, 33 | my way of prayer and the great favours which the Lord was
601 Unic, 33 | matter. He reassured me a great deal and I think it was
602 Unic, 33 | his Order where there is great scope for solitude, so that
603 Unic, 33 | leave, which caused him great regret, but he was such
604 Unic, 33 | spiritual growth had been so great that he told me after his
605 Unic, 33 | a very spiritual man, of great courage, intelligence and
606 Unic, 33(267)| visit to Toledo. She had a great regard for him and speaks
607 Unic, 33 | One day, when I was in great affliction, thinking that
608 Unic, 33 | to him or had been told great things about him, it would
609 Unic, 33 | has in every way been of great benefit to me and to my
610 Unic, 33 | for us. I thought it of great importance to do nothing
611 Unic, 33(269)| a wealthy man and did a great deal of good with his money.
612 Unic, 33(270)| and now hangs beside the great bell which calls the religious
613 Unic, 33 | Saint appeared to me in great beauty and told me to put
614 Unic, 33 | would help me. I conceived a great devotion for her and her
615 Unic, 33 | clothed in a garment of great whiteness and brightness.
616 Unic, 33 | me that I was giving her great pleasure by serving the
617 Unic, 33 | ascending to Heaven with a great multitude of angels. I remained
618 Unic, 34 | her to go and comfort a great lady who was in sore distress.
619 Unic, 34 | the Lord granted her the great favour of being the means
620 Unic, 34 | whereby His Majesty aroused a great person to serve Him in real
621 Unic, 34 | here, there was a lady in great distress because of the
622 Unic, 34 | the Lord gave her a very great desire to see me: she thought
623 Unic, 34 | to visit her, sending a great distance, for that purpose,
624 Unic, 34 | little and distressed me a great deal to think that she wanted
625 Unic, 34 | whole of Matins, or for a great part of it, I was in a deep
626 Unic, 34 | the devil had organized a great plot against the arrival
627 Unic, 34 | I found this assurance a great strength and comfort. I
628 Unic, 34 | not abandon me. It was a great comfort to me that there
629 Unic, 34 | distress was causing her great depression: the Lord must
630 Unic, 34 | lacking in me. She conceived a great affection for me, as I also
631 Unic, 34 | that I never treated those great ladies, whom it would have
632 Unic, 34 | whom it would have been a great honour to me to serve, otherwise
633 Unic, 34 | equal. From this I derived great profit, and I told my lady
634 Unic, 34 | the very desire to be a great lady. God deliver me from
635 Unic, 34 | them, on account of the great love which my lady had for
636 Unic, 34 | and who was a person of great importance.279 When I was
637 Unic, 34 | for I wished him to be a great servant of God; so I got
638 Unic, 34 | knew of them and was a great friend of his, he would
639 Unic, 34 | in fact, I found it a great comfort. I told him everything
640 Unic, 34 | always taken him for a man of great intelligence, but now he
641 Unic, 34 | than ever. I thought what great talents and gifts he had
642 Unic, 34 | Oh, the great goodness and humaneness
643 Unic, 34 | distress about this caused me great depression: then I felt
644 Unic, 34 | servants and bring many souls great advantage. For in spiritual
645 Unic, 34 | spiritual things he has had a great deal of experience in a
646 Unic, 34 | helps him by granting him great faith, he has rendered a
647 Unic, 34 | faith, he has rendered a great deal of service both to
648 Unic, 34 | numerous trials and done me a great deal of good. The Lord has
649 Unic, 34 | understood. I have seen great visions and the Lord has
650 Unic, 34 | speaking I have learned a great deal.~
651 Unic, 34 | in the locutory, and so great was the love that my soul
652 Unic, 34 | that I had to see him make great progress. It helped me so
653 Unic, 34 | ablaze with Thy love! What great value we ought to set on
654 Unic, 34 | has this sickness it is a great thing to find another stricken
655 Unic, 34 | stricken by it too. It is a great comfort to him to see that
656 Unic, 34 | their profession. Oh, what a great thing it is, when the Lord
657 Unic, 34 | misfortune is there than to set a great price on what is nothing?~
658 Unic, 34 | and glory, manifesting His great satisfaction at what had
659 Unic, 34 | carried up to the angels in great glory.289 By this vision
660 Unic, 34 | that his soul was making great progress, as indeed it was.
661 Unic, 34 | person whom he had helped a great deal and to whose reputation
662 Unic, 34 | whose soul he had rendered a great service; and he had endured
663 Unic, 34 | Once, when I was in great distress because a brother-in-law
664 Unic, 34 | habits and begun to pay great heed to her conscience,
665 Unic, 35 | contrary, it would be a great joy to me to think I was
666 Unic, 35 | Majesty had already given me great desires for poverty. For
667 Unic, 35 | monasteries in which there was no great degree of recollection,
668 Unic, 35 | sought the opinions of a great many people with regard
669 Unic, 35 | I was staying299 was of great assistance to me here. Some
670 Unic, 35 | house. As one who was a great lover of poverty and had
671 Unic, 35 | was in it, and so he was a great help to me and told me that
672 Unic, 35 | this. For, apart from the great labour it would involve,
673 Unic, 35 | leave then and there, so great were my inward restlessness
674 Unic, 35 | trial, for it had cost her a great deal of trouble, and she
675 Unic, 35 | come. I thought it a very great thing that she should agree
676 Unic, 35 | went I might be doing a great service to God, as well
677 Unic, 35 | something which gives me great pleasure, and if I happen
678 Unic, 35 | been enough to cause me great distress.~
679 Unic, 35 | aloud to tell everyone of my great blindness and wickedness,
680 Unic, 36 | glorious Saint Joseph, and the great opposition and numerous
681 Unic, 36 | taking the habit, and the great trials and temptations which
682 Unic, 36 | another gentleman,307 a great servant of God, in whose
683 Unic, 36 | Everything was done with great secrecy: had it been otherwise,
684 Unic, 36 | what with another, I had a great deal of trouble in getting
685 Unic, 36 | convent, and there was a great deal which had to be done
686 Unic, 36 | without dowries)312 who were great servants of God. From the
687 Unic, 36 | our plan of a community of great perfection, given to prayer,
688 Unic, 36 | I yearned. It was also a great comfort to me that I had
689 Unic, 36 | thanked for it. But it was a great comfort to me to see that
690 Unic, 36 | me to see that in such a great work as this His Majesty
691 Unic, 36 | that I had undertaken a great deal and might possibly
692 Unic, 36 | Him to Whom my debt was so great? By means of these and other
693 Unic, 36 | other reflections, I made a great effort, and in the presence
694 Unic, 36 | are not many of them. So great is my happiness that I sometimes
695 Unic, 36 | might understand what a great favour He had granted me
696 Unic, 36 | I have given there was a great deal of commotion -- not,
697 Unic, 36 | think, would have been a great joy to me, as I should not
698 Unic, 36 | for there had been a very great commotion in the city, as
699 Unic, 36 | of that kind. This did a great deal of good: to judge by
700 Unic, 36 | what they did and showed great zeal for what was good,
701 Unic, 36 | all had to go through a great deal of persecution.~
702 Unic, 36 | and that distressed me a great deal, as it did to see that
703 Unic, 36 | credit and suffering such great trials. I believe what they
704 Unic, 36 | dissolved. This brought me great comfort. They sent the information
705 Unic, 36 | A priest, who was a great servant of God and a lover
706 Unic, 36 | and who had always been a great help to me,318 went to the
707 Unic, 36 | mention also did a very great deal in the matter and helped
708 Unic, 36 | suffered many trials and great persecution over this and
709 Unic, 36 | to, who was another of my great helpers, and whom the Bishop
710 Unic, 36 | certain expedients which did a great deal to bring about an agreement.
711 Unic, 36 | had had a vision of the great bliss that he was enjoying.
712 Unic, 36 | glorified body, full of great bliss, and it gave me the
713 Unic, 36 | me among other things how great was his fruition, adding
714 Unic, 36 | they had won him such a great reward. As I think I have
715 Unic, 36 | to be receiving me with great love, placing a crown on
716 Unic, 36 | not fail to meet with a great deal of opposition or escape
717 Unic, 36 | sisters here, for it will be a great encouragement in the service
718 Unic, 36 | foundation, anyone will do great harm and be heavily punished
719 Unic, 36 | will be evident from the great joy and gladness and the
720 Unic, 37 | another, and shown me how great that difference is, I see
721 Unic, 37 | I should be receiving a great favour from the Lord if
722 Unic, 37 | gave me grace to endure great trials, even were it at
723 Unic, 37 | soul was left with some great gain -- after certain visions,
724 Unic, 37 | impression of His exceeding great beauty, which I have preserved
725 Unic, 37 | has granted me! One very great benefit which I received
726 Unic, 37 | fault, which led me into great trouble. It was that, if
727 Unic, 37 | when once I had seen the great beauty of the Lord, I saw
728 Unic, 37 | confessors, for I always have a great affection for those who
729 Unic, 37 | currying favours and taking a great deal of trouble. If his
730 Unic, 37 | that in Thyself Thou art a great Emperor, for to behold Thy
731 Unic, 37 | of God. It is only by His great mercy that the smoke can
732 Unic, 37 | so, they would escape a great deal of trouble.~
733 Unic, 38 | XXXVIII - Describes certain great favours which the Lord bestowed
734 Unic, 38 | and in granting her other great visions and revelations
735 Unic, 38 | produced upon her and of the great profit which they brought
736 Unic, 38 | father and mother, and such great things happened in so short
737 Unic, 38 | and thought it far too great a favour. I was afraid lest
738 Unic, 38 | about it, he comforted me a great deal, and gave me a great
739 Unic, 38 | great deal, and gave me a great many good reasons for not
740 Unic, 38 | continued to show me further great secrets: sometimes He does
741 Unic, 38 | show me. What I saw was so great that the smallest part of
742 Unic, 38 | that I think it will be a great thing if there should be
743 Unic, 38 | life, for I was left with a great contempt for everything
744 Unic, 38 | have suffered with this a great deal, though less so of
745 Unic, 38 | diamonds, supposed to be of great price, thinking that they
746 Unic, 38 | that feels like this has great dominion over itself --
747 Unic, 38 | dominion over itself -- so great that I do not know if it
748 Unic, 38 | its flight, to which no great importance need be attached:
749 Unic, 38 | this experience has been of great help to me in teaching me
750 Unic, 38 | are but pilgrims; it is a great thing to see what is awaiting
751 Unic, 38 | another country, it is a great help to him in bearing the
752 Unic, 38 | conversation in Heaven. This is a great advantage for us: merely
753 Unic, 38 | In short, this is a very great favour that the Lord grants
754 Unic, 38 | some understanding of these great blessings, and I have in
755 Unic, 38 | mentioned are not, I think, as great as one which I shall now
756 Unic, 38 | reasons and because of the great blessings which it has bestowed
757 Unic, 38 | bestowed on me, together with great fortitude of soul, although
758 Unic, 38 | considered by itself, is so great that there is nothing with
759 Unic, 38 | am now, I realized what a great favour the Lord had granted
760 Unic, 38 | for my sins, and I gave great praises to God, for so changed
761 Unic, 38 | incapable of waiting for so great a blessing. The impulse
762 Unic, 38 | little shells which emitted a great brilliance. It was larger
763 Unic, 38 | rapture was surpassingly great; for most of the festal
764 Unic, 38 | capable of receiving so great a favour and grace. It was
765 Unic, 38 | neither hear nor see, so great was my inward joy. From
766 Unic, 38 | love of God and of a very great trengthening in virtue.
767 Unic, 38 | was with him. He died with great joy and with a longing to
768 Unic, 38 | times appeared to me in very great glory and told me a number
769 Unic, 38 | number of visions of the great favours which the Lord was
770 Unic, 38 | lest I should write at too great length, I am not setting
771 Unic, 38 | happened that he was in great trouble, having been sorely
772 Unic, 38 | persecuted and finding himself in great distress. One day, when
773 Unic, 38 | suffer. This brought him great comfort and gave him courage
774 Unic, 38 | Order itself, I have seen great things. On several occasions
775 Unic, 38 | them which give cause for great wonder. Thus I hold this
776 Unic, 38 | Thus I hold this Order in great veneration, for I have had
777 Unic, 38 | veneration, for I have had a great deal to do with its members
778 Unic, 38 | me and it also does me a great deal of good.~
779 Unic, 38 | sensual nature. It is a great flame, which seems to burn
780 Unic, 38 | to offend His exceeding great Majesty and that there is
781 Unic, 38 | remembered that exceeding great Majesty which I had seen,
782 Unic, 38 | and wretchedness with such great Majesty? Blessed be Thou,
783 Unic, 38 | so much affrighted by Thy great power as not to dare, because
784 Unic, 38 | sustain souls, revealing Thy great riches to them gradually
785 Unic, 38 | vision I have never seen such great Majesty, hidden in a thing
786 Unic, 38 | without marvelling at Thy great wisdom. I cannot tell how
787 Unic, 38 | and still grants me, such great favours. I could never possibly
788 Unic, 38 | from proclaiming aloud such great marvels. What must be the
789 Unic, 38 | shining in that face of such great beauty, so kindly and so
790 Unic, 38 | that in some measure these great afflictions experienced
791 Unic, 38 | me also to appreciate His great goodness in placing Himself
792 Unic, 38 | wrapped in its shroud, I saw a great many devils taking hold
793 Unic, 38 | life! I think it would be a great incentive to amendment.
794 Unic, 38 | was one which caused me great edification; he was in such
795 Unic, 38 | A nun who had been a great servant of God had died
796 Unic, 38 | him ascending to Heaven in great glory, and the Lord ascending
797 Unic, 38 | me the favour of seeing a great many such things. But from
798 Unic, 38 | assigned to them. There is a great difference between some
799 Unic, 39 | subject and tells of the great favours which the Lord has
800 Unic, 39 | for him that I began with great importunity to beg the Lord
801 Unic, 39 | person to whom I was under great obligations wanted to do
802 Unic, 39 | beside me a devil, in a great fury, tearing up some papers
803 Unic, 39 | his hand. This brought me great comfort, for I thought it
804 Unic, 39 | it. It used to cause me great scruples, for I could not
805 Unic, 39 | for these often and with great importunity, and though
806 Unic, 39 | There is a great difference between these
807 Unic, 39 | the high esteem and the great praise which were bestowed
808 Unic, 39 | light, I call to mind the great trials which have to be
809 Unic, 39 | order to please God, without great potency of love. I prefer
810 Unic, 39 | fruits of prayer or signs of great mortification. Sometimes
811 Unic, 39 | Thee: if I served Thee in great matters, I should set no
812 Unic, 39 | who serve Thee by doing great deeds. If I could accomplish
813 Unic, 39 | prayer, I saw myself in a great field, all alone, and around
814 Unic, 39 | anyone on my side. I was in great distress of spirit, and
815 Unic, 39 | account those who are not great servants of the Lord, and
816 Unic, 39 | in this vision. It was of great help to me in teaching me
817 Unic, 39 | In short, my soul was in great darkness. While I was distressed
818 Unic, 39 | to me, as a sign of His great love: "Now thou art Mine
819 Unic, 39 | Who was on it -- only a great multitude of angels, whom
820 Unic, 39 | all on fire. There is a great deal of difference between
821 Unic, 39 | its fresh desires and its great fortitude. It seems not
822 Unic, 39 | such a mystery and it is a great joy to me.~
823 Unic, 39 | impossible for me. Exceeding great was the glory which filled
824 Unic, 39 | wonderful and I was left with a great desire to serve Our Lady,
825 Unic, 40 | subject and tells of the great favours which the Lord has
826 Unic, 40 | felt within myself such great joy that, being unworthy
827 Unic, 40 | understand that it is a great thing. It gave me a very
