  1   0, 12|              These desires and this love of mine made me lose all
  2   0, 14|             prayer already. For the love of God, let me get on with
  3   0, 19|          but are still very much in love with the venomous creatures
  4   0, 21|         full the inspiring force of love. It has not made a full
  5   0, 21|           total self-surrender. Its love is still governed by reason,
  6   0, 22|       directly from the spring. Its love is now free from servile
  7   0, 49|           and also in view of their love for me, anything I might
  8   1, 3 |            malodorous worms, and to love Him for His great goodness
  9   1, 3 |          lacking in humility and in love of his neighbour; for otherwise
 10   1, 4 |            awaken others to a fresh love of Him Who grants such mercies,
 11   1, 4 |         still greater proofs of His love. I am sure that, if any
 12   2, 17|            a cooling of charity and love among the sisters, and if
 13   2, 17|          perfection consists in the love of God and of our neighbour,
 14   2, 18|                         This mutual love is so important for us that
 15   1, 5 |        memory. The will inclines to love One in Whom it has seen
 16   1, 5 |           so many acts and signs of love, some of which it would
 17   1, 12|           thoughts can arouse us to love this Lord? May it please
 18   1, 4 |            even venial sins;65 they love doing penance, they spend
 19   1, 6 |           be proportionate with the love which we bear Him? And this
 20   1, 6 |         which we bear Him? And this love, daughters, must not be
 21   2, 8 |    eminently reasonable folk! Their love is not yet ardent enough
 22   2, 9 |             my sisters; so, for the love of the Lord, let us make
 23   2, 11|              but in the increase of love; on this, too, will depend
 24   2, 12|           God, they come laden with love and fortitude, by the help
 25   1, 7 |             feelings are effects of love, and, even so, they are
 26   1, 8 |           not to think much, but to love much; do, then, whatever
 27   1, 8 |        whatever most arouses you to love. Perhaps we do not know
 28   1, 8 |         Perhaps we do not know what love is: it would not surprise
 29   1, 8 |             deal to learn this, for love consists, not in the extent
 30   1, 8 |              Those are the signs of love; do not imagine that the
 31   1, 11|            but the tranquillity and love in my soul are quite unaffected,
 32   1, 12|             bear everything for the love of God. Similarly we are
 33   2, 8 |         Lord grants it there or the love which draws it ever nearer
 34   2, 9 |             thing is that we should love God without any motive of
 35   2, 9 |            us and which of us truly love Him. That is certain truth,
 36   2, 9 |          who walk along the road of love, solely, as they should,
 37   3, 4 |        clear from what he says that love must already be awake.103
 38   3, 8 |             itself into the arms of love, and His Majesty will teach
 39   3, 10|           left Him Who in His great love was yearning to give Himself
 40   3, 10|            is showing them especial love, but this is quite sufficient
 41   3, 13|             Lord wishes to test her love for Him by seeing how she
 42   1, 3 |            loving, if it is able to love, it cannot understand how
 43   2, 13|             His hands and His great love has so completely subdued
 44   2, 14|                No, because My great love and My desire that souls
 45   2, 15|          death, and of proving what love He had for His Father by
 46   2, 15|          who have great strength of love perform great penances,
 47   2, 15|    obedience to Him and showing His love for His neighbour? Oh, the
 48   3    |            part played in it by the love of our neighbour. This chapter
 49   3, 1 |           given by God to those who love and serve Him. ~
 50   3, 7 |        towards them, and failure to love them as we love ourselves.
 51   3, 7 |          failure to love them as we love ourselves. For, although
 52   3, 8 |         asks only two things of us: love for His Majesty and love
 53   3, 8 |            love for His Majesty and love for our neighbour. It is
 54   3, 9 |            in this, the greater the love you will have for God; for
 55   3, 9 |             dearly does His Majesty love us that He will reward our
 56   3, 9 |             that He will reward our love for our neighbour by increasing
 57   3, 9 |         neighbour by increasing the love which we bear to Himself,
 58   3, 10|           could ever attain perfect love for our neighbour unless
 59   3, 10|             it had its roots in the love of God. Since this is so
 60   3, 11|         clearly it can be seen what love of your neighbour really
 61   3, 13|           to grant you this perfect love for your neighbour, and
 62   3, 13|             for you. Think what the love which our Spouse had for
 63   4, 2 |      marriage. It is all a union of love with love, and its operations
 64   4, 2 |            all a union of love with love, and its operations are
 65   4, 3 |          each other and are both in love; and then they meet again
 66   4, 3 |          soul becomes so fired with love that for her part she does
 67   4, 7 |             to withdraw it from the love of God and to persuade it
 68   4, 8 |             back, especially in our love for each other and in our
 69   4, 9 |           far should cease to grow: love is never idle, so failure
 70   4, 9 |           to us worms. So, fired by love of Him, we shall run our
 71   1, 1 |          soul has been wounded with love for the Spouse and seeks
 72   1, 5 |             special and most tender love for them and thinks of them
 73   1, 12|           the smallest spark of any love for God, nor has it ever
 74   2, 2 |            its Spouse with words of love, and even cries aloud, being
 75   2, 3 |            to you this operation of love, yet I do not know any way
 76   2, 4 |            deeply does it feel this love. I have just been wondering
 77   3, 6 |         Thee, as art Thou to it, by love. ~
 78   3, 10|            of Our Lord with a great love, he thinks that the voices
 79   4, 11|           do us great harm. For the love of God, then, sisters, let
 80   4, 14|         does not awaken the will to love; to this it is fully awake,
 81   4, 15|             as very little, for its love is so strong that it feels
 82   5, 4 |           though not perhaps out of love -- to offend Him. Oh, how
 83   6, 1 |         lasting repose; indeed, her love is so full of tenderness
 84   6, 2 |           Him for Whom she has such love. She is not hurt by what
 85   6, 7 |             this, rather than their love of God, which has excited
 86   7, 5 |         Magdalen; because, as their love was so great and they had
 87   7, 6 |             be wholly proficient in love. This is a thing of which
 88   7, 7 |            permanently enkindled in love, this is not possible for
 89   7, 9 |          employing itself wholly in love and it would be glad if
 90   7, 12|         these precious signs of His love, for they are living sparks
 91   7, 12|           soul more and more in its love for Our Lord. But these
 92   7, 15|             Him more than they, her love was so perfect that His
 93   8, 1 |      Himself to us, and reveals His love for us by means of such
 94   8, 4 | companionship is born a most tender love toward His Majesty, and
 95   8, 4 |           vivid and almost constant love for Him Whom it sees or
 96   9, 24|          come from souls fired with love, who would like the Lord
 97   9, 24|           the satisfaction of their love, for the nature of love
 98   9, 24|             love, for the nature of love invariably finds expression
 99  10, 4 |             very glad to do so, and love those who do us wrong; for,
100  11, 1 |            loved, the more does her love for Him grow. And gradually,
101  11, 2 |          all seem to arise from our love, and are accompanied by
102   1, 4 |            now what I mean. For the love of God, I beg you always
103   2, 3 |          been pleased to reveal the love that He has for us by showing
104   2, 3 |          persons the extent of that love, so that we may praise His
105   2, 7 |             ourselves of it for the love of God, that same Lord will
106   2, 7 |            do not know what greater love there can be than this.
107   3, 5 |             they conceive a special love for them, so that, if they
108   3, 5 |      possible to relieve them; they love to commend them to God,
109   3, 8 |            of Our Lord and a tender love for Him, so that they would
110   3, 9 |          penetrating touches of His love. This, sisters, you will
111   3, 9 |            I say and make an act of love or exclaim with Saint Paul: "
112   3, 15|            serve Him because of the love which they bear Him, as
113   4, 7 |       recollected, and make acts of love to Our Lord and plan and
114   4, 8 |            His Majesty revealed His love to us by doing and suffering
115   4, 9 |      forward begins to go back, and love, I believe, can never be
116   4, 13|             of Martha and shown her love for the Lord by washing
117   4, 14|       towards all, and such fervent love for the Lord that it resembles
118   4, 15|            anything we do as at the love with which we do it. If
