100 Unic, 11 | then, keep secret between God and ourselves some of the
101 Unic, 11 | one to complain to except God. Do you suppose they were
102 Unic, 11 | commit yourselves wholly to God, come what may. What does
103 Unic, 12 | Teaches that the true lover of God must care little for life
104 Unic, 12 | But once we begin to work, God, too, works in our souls
105 Unic, 12 | freedom for the love of God and entrusting it to another,
106 Unic, 12 | among the closest friends of God, is one long martyrdom?
107 Unic, 12 | render our entire service to God? This would be quite possible;
108 Unic, 12 | do with precedence. May God, by His Passion, keep us
109 Unic, 12 | trifling, you must believe that God has permitted her to be
110 Unic, 12 | favours and consolations which God bestows in prayer, it is
111 Unic, 12 | severe about it, and say that God grants consolations to persons
112 Unic, 12 | God deliver us from people who
113 Unic, 12 | and she will pray that God may give you patience and
114 Unic, 12 | sisters, for the love of God, never let charity move
115 Unic, 13 | like this was not right". God deliver us from such a false
116 Unic, 13 | God keep us from being like
117 Unic, 13 | service would be rendered to God, if any nun who sees that
118 Unic, 13 | is want of humility. If God does not help such a person
119 Unic, 13 | becomes greatly improved, may God preserve you from keeping
120 Unic, 13 | you do not take dowries, God is very gracious to you
121 Unic, 13 | must lie in the service of God, and, if anyone thinks to
122 Unic, 13 | believe, with the help of God, will be a fault far removed
123 Unic, 13 | suffer a hell on earth, and God grant there may not be another
124 Unic, 13 | pleasure lies in pleasing God and who cares nothing for
125 Unic, 14 | great skill in converse with God. Many enquiries, therefore,
126 Unic, 14 | the novices' relatives. God grant that those of us who
127 Unic, 14 | house, I do not believe God will ever allow her to go
128 Unic, 14 | she must commend it to God and encourage her superior
129 Unic, 14 | importance is it. So I beg God to give you light about
130 Unic, 15 | often teach you this, and by God's goodness you practise
131 Unic, 15 | nor the aid of anyone save God.~
132 Unic, 15 | often, indeed -- offended God in the ways they referred
133 Unic, 15 | good? It is intolerable, my God, it is intolerable; nor
134 Unic, 15 | What is this, my God? What advantage do we think
135 Unic, 16 | is sometimes possible for God to raise a distracted soul
136 Unic, 16 | steps in prayer; although God did not lead me by them,
137 Unic, 16 | you what kind of a mother God has given you -- she even
138 Unic, 16 | neglect so great a blessing if God inspires him to make use
139 Unic, 16 | which I certainly do not: God knows that.~
140 Unic, 16 | will not understand this. God grant that we may practise
141 Unic, 16 | intentionally, from which may God preserve me, you would be
142 Unic, 16 | will tell you, then, that God is sometimes pleased to
143 Unic, 16 | not have known why, since God did not allow Him to understand!~
144 Unic, 16 | no other medicine. Oh, my God, who will give me such medicine
145 Unic, 16 | saying, there are souls whom God knows He may gain for Himself
146 Unic, 16 | there are many souls whom God our Lord tests in this way,
147 Unic, 16 | as you are in the arms of God? He is powerful enough to
148 Unic, 16 | God deliver us, sisters, from
149 Unic, 16 | we will only try and if God gives us His hand! Do not
150 Unic, 16 | have a holy boldness, for God helps the strong, being
151 Unic, 17 | who become contemplatives? God, it is true, by His goodness
152 Unic, 17 | one make herself ready for God to lead her by this road
153 Unic, 17 | important for us to realize that God does not lead us all by
154 Unic, 17 | contemplation is something given by God, and, as it is not necessary
155 Unic, 17 | necessary for salvation and God does not ask it of us before
156 Unic, 17 | fix their thoughts upon God, they are attacked by a
157 Unic, 17 | penitent and a great servant of God, who for many years has
158 Unic, 17 | if consolations come from God or are sent by the devil.
159 Unic, 17 | devil. If they are not of God, they are the more dangerous;
160 Unic, 17 | with pride. If they are of God, there is no reason for
161 Unic, 17 | themselves very backward in God's service unless they are
162 Unic, 17 | no fear of losing, since God never permits a truly mortified
163 Unic, 18 | daughters -- those of you whom God is not leading by this road [
164 Unic, 18 | ways and manners in which God sends them crosses. I know
165 Unic, 18 | that the trials given by God to contemplatives are intolerable;
166 Unic, 18 | It is clear that, since God leads those whom He most
167 Unic, 18 | I feel quite sure that God gives them much greater
168 Unic, 18 | unfortunate soldiers die, and God knows who pays them after
169 Unic, 18 | reading and colloquies with God, as I shall explain to you
170 Unic, 18 | captains and friends of God let them see them acting
171 Unic, 18 | want to ask favours from God as a right. A pretty kind
172 Unic, 18 | that these orders come from God since she is in His place.
173 Unic, 18 | some people they come from God, and yet that if they came
174 Unic, 19 | and on all that we owe to God, and these books are excellent
175 Unic, 19 | either like this by nature or God permits them to become so.
176 Unic, 19 | earthly things, and, when God slakes it, satisfies in
177 Unic, 19 | it only burns the more. God help me! What a marvellous
178 Unic, 19 | will be glad, sisters, if God grants you to drink of this
179 Unic, 19 | understand how a genuine love of God, if it is really strong,
180 Unic, 19 | fire, which is the love of God; though the two elements
181 Unic, 19 | with them by the help of God? Fire and water obeyed Saint
182 Unic, 19 | Helped as they were by God, and themselves doing all
183 Unic, 19 | other fires of love for God -- small ones, which may
184 Unic, 19 | helps to cool the water. God bless me! What a beautiful
185 Unic, 19 | for, as I have written, God does not allow us to drink
186 Unic, 19 | this love and desire for God can increase so much that
187 Unic, 19 | of herself by raptures if God had not quickly succoured
188 Unic, 19 | it comes to life again in God; and in this way His Majesty
189 Unic, 19 | great desire to be with God, as Saint Paul had, and
190 Unic, 19 | come from the Spirit of God, it would be true humility
191 Unic, 19 | have more chance of serving God, and that we might do this
192 Unic, 19 | patience and leave himself in God's hands so that His will
193 Unic, 19 | best to leave ourselves in God's hands.~
194 Unic, 19 | well so that he might see God the sooner.69 I do not think
195 Unic, 19 | this hermit can have served God either humbly or efficiently,
196 Unic, 19 | the desire had come from God, it would have done the
197 Unic, 20 | blessings.75 For the love of God, I beg you always to see
198 Unic, 20 | which you might say about God, and then there would be
199 Unic, 20 | you to talk to him about God afterwards. I do not forbid
200 Unic, 20 | nothing save in the spirit of God,76 act very wrongly if they
201 Unic, 20(76)| Lit.: "save in God" -- i.e., save as those
202 Unic, 20(76)| whose life is centred in God: not necessarily, I think,
203 Unic, 20(76)| necessarily, I think, only of God.~
204 Unic, 21 | and the other virtues; but God forbid that the way of prayer
205 Unic, 21 | characteristic of the true servant of God, to whom His Majesty has
206 Unic, 21 | be zealous for the right, God raises up someone to open
207 Unic, 21 | obscured their path. (How great God is! To think that just one
208 Unic, 21 | to see the path again and God gives them courage. If people
209 Unic, 21 | prayer, this servant of God, by his deeds if not by
210 Unic, 21 | and even contemplation, if God should grant it you. [Blessed
211 Unic, 22 | while I am speaking with God, I have a clear realization
212 Unic, 22 | that you are speaking with God by reciting the Paternoster
213 Unic, 22 | all Creation? For Thou, my God, art a King without end,
214 Unic, 22 | world! Give hearty praise to God, daughters, that you have
215 Unic, 22 | beauties. O Very Strength! God help me! Would that I could
216 Unic, 22 | When you approach God, then, try86 to think and
217 Unic, 22 | our lives should be. Why, God save us, when a woman in
218 Unic, 22(86)| Lit.: "Yes, approach God, and, in approaching, try."~
219 Unic, 22 | not, I beg you, address God while you are thinking of
220 Unic, 23 | prepared to devote it wholly to God.~
221 Unic, 23 | intention remains firm, my God is not in the least meticulous;90
222 Unic, 23 | witnesses those of you who, by God's goodness, know it from
223 Unic, 24 | Anyone unable to think of God may find herself wearied
224 Unic, 24 | instruct people to whom God gives light to consult them,
225 Unic, 24 | us to profit by it, may God forbid that we should fail
226 Unic, 24 | is impossible to speak to God and to the world at the
227 Unic, 24 | when, for their own good, God allows His servants for
228 Unic, 24 | that they must not speak to God and to the world at the
229 Unic, 24 | to try to be alone -- and God grant that this may suffice,
230 Unic, 24 | to pray attentively: may God grant that, by using these
231 Unic, 25 | prayer perfectly. Shows how God may raise it thence to things
232 Unic, 25 | Heaven, Who gives it like the God He is. This, daughters,
233 Unic, 25 | two kinds of prayer, with God's help, we may accomplish
234 Unic, 26 | without our understanding how, God may give us everything at
235 Unic, 26 | thoughts cannot dwell upon God but are constantly wandering
236 Unic, 26 | they do so when you talk to God? Do not imagine that they
237 Unic, 27 | desire to be the daughters of God.~
238 Unic, 27 | O Son of God and my Lord! How is it that
239 Unic, 27 | that Thou art the Son of God, but Thy great desire for
240 Unic, 27 | dominion, as ours? Were God not all this, it would not
241 Unic, 27 | This does not apply here: God forbid that such a thing
242 Unic, 27 | trouble we make about it! God deliver you, sisters, from
243 Unic, 27 | Oh, thank God, what cause for comfort
244 Unic, 28 | You know that God is everywhere; and this
245 Unic, 28 | that is to say, wherever God is, there is Heaven. No
246 Unic, 28 | tells us about his seeking God in many places and eventually
247 Unic, 28 | Avoid being bashful with God, as some people are, in
248 Unic, 28 | within itself to be with its God. Its Divine Master comes
249 Unic, 28 | soul remains alone with its God and is thoroughly prepared
250 Unic, 28 | interior of the soul is empty; God grant that only women may
251 Unic, 29 | For the love of God, daughters, avoid making
252 Unic, 29 | entering within itself.102 God help me! If only someone
253 Unic, 29 | in that Paradise with her God. I say "desires", because
254 Unic, 29 | our volition, and that, by God's favour, we can enter it
255 Unic, 29 | say, in order to approach God inwardly and we must retire
256 Unic, 29 | are doing when we talk to God and yet think of all kinds
257 Unic, 29 | so do, for the love of God, look upon any care which
258 Unic, 29 | spent. I know that, with God's help, if you practise
259 Unic, 30 | Oh, God help me! What is it that
260 Unic, 30 | it must be possible, with God's help, for a soul living
261 Unic, 30 | described and are raised by God to the higher kind of contemplation
262 Unic, 31 | is now very close to its God, and that, if it were but
263 Unic, 31 | hinder the soul from loving God. They are not completely
264 Unic, 31 | Paternoster. They are so close to God that they know they can
265 Unic, 31 | hear anything but their God; nothing distresses them,
266 Unic, 31 | during this Prayer of Quiet, God grants the soul another
267 Unic, 31 | know what it is. I believe God often grants this favour
268 Unic, 31 | think is united with its God -- and that the other faculties
269 Unic, 31 | the soul will lose what God has been giving it without
270 Unic, 31 | soul is wholly united with God, for in the latter state
271 Unic, 31 | them. For clearly, when God has shown us this favour,
272 Unic, 31 | remain where they are. If God gives a soul such pledges,
273 Unic, 32 | whether we wish it or no, God's will must be done, and
274 Unic, 32 | consider if the will of God was not perfectly fulfilled
275 Unic, 32 | you see, daughters, what God gave to His best Beloved,
276 Unic, 32 | give it back to Him. Ah, my God! How well Jesus knows us
277 Unic, 32 | resolve to fulfil the will of God. But you, daughters, must
278 Unic, 32 | do we undertake to give God the jewel but we even put
279 Unic, 32 | in us, how can we repay God, since, as I say, we have
280 Unic, 32 | surrender our will and fulfil God's will in us. Anything else
281 Unic, 32 | we are nothing and that God is infinitely great.~
282 Unic, 33 | pampered person that it is God's will for him to moderate
283 Unic, 33 | ill of others that it is God's will that he should love
284 Unic, 33 | that it is the will of God that he should fulfil his
285 Unic, 33 | For the love of God, sisters, let us realize
286 Unic, 33 | was for us to give this to God, and yet how difficult it
287 Unic, 33 | whatever He did on earth God would do in Heaven, and
288 Unic, 33 | Whom Thou art asking this. God help me! What a great love
289 Unic, 34 | truly resigned yourselves to God's will. I mean that at these
290 Unic, 34 | to resign yourselves to God's will. I assure you, daughters,
291 Unic, 34 | surrendering yourselves to God, as you say, cease to be
292 Unic, 34 | comparison breaks down, for God is, and will always be,
293 Unic, 35 | entering into solitude with God. When you hear Mass without
294 Unic, 35 | is this, my Lord and my God? Do Thou bring the world
295 Unic, 35 | O my God, if only I could indeed
296 Unic, 36 | own will to the will of God, must have done this already.
297 Unic, 36 | and important matter that God should pardon us our sins,
298 Unic, 36 | building houses of straw. Oh, God help me, sisters! If we
299 Unic, 36 | far from it as it is now! God preserve us from religious
300 Unic, 36 | never do much honour to God.~
301 Unic, 36 | God help us, how absurd it is
302 Unic, 36 | be an authority even in God's own law. Why, among ourselves,
303 Unic, 36 | For the love of God, sisters! We have lost our
304 Unic, 36 | from the very beginning. God grant that no soul be lost
305 Unic, 36 | forgiven someone. Grant us, my God, to understand how little
306 Unic, 36 | offers it on our behalf to God.~
307 Unic, 36 | experiencing the favours granted by God in the prayer that I have
308 Unic, 36 | effect upon a soul whom God draws to Himself in such
309 Unic, 36 | makes when it suffers for God's sake. For only very rarely
310 Unic, 36 | them the joy of seeing how God has entrusted them with
311 Unic, 36 | would enable them to serve God better. If they are not
312 Unic, 36 | this is that those to whom God grants the favour of possessing
313 Unic, 36 | itself and the greatness of God's pardon, will not immediately
314 Unic, 36 | favours he has received are of God. If any one of you receives
315 Unic, 36 | consolations are not of God, Who, as I have said, when
316 Unic, 37 | persons greatly devoted to God, can ask for the heavenly
317 Unic, 37 | through the great goodness of God, may be given to us on earth.
318 Unic, 37 | surrendering our will to God and forgiving others --
319 Unic, 38 | counterfeit to us come from God. This, I think, in a way,
320 Unic, 38 | cease to give thanks to God and will feel the greater
321 Unic, 38 | the great providence of God, often happens. Have you
322 Unic, 38 | to do in order to serve God, and, when I am tested,
323 Unic, 38 | courage to kill an ant for God's sake if I were to meet
324 Unic, 38 | elsewhere and we never know when God will leave us in this prison
325 Unic, 38 | suffer a great deal for God's sake. We really and truly
326 Unic, 38 | frequently to suffer, praise God for beginning to teach you
327 Unic, 38 | after all, if I am to serve God, I must live, and He wants
328 Unic, 38 | about yourself and leave God to provide for you, come
329 Unic, 38 | must beg and obtain from God. If we think we already
330 Unic, 38 | much profit as possible -- God grant we may not go so far
331 Unic, 39 | it has been forsaken by God, and thus it almost doubts
332 Unic, 39 | and makes it fit to serve God better. The other kind of
333 Unic, 39 | to lead us to distrust God.~
334 Unic, 39 | and think of the mercy of God and of His love and His
335 Unic, 39 | pleasure from the things of God." If this temptation comes
336 Unic, 39 | against these -- and then God preserve them from falling
337 Unic, 39 | these favours come from God, you will do this more frequently,
338 Unic, 39 | treacherous assaults,137 my God? We need constantly to pray
339 Unic, 40 | in the love and fear of God, we shall travel safely
340 Unic, 40 | noticed. Love and fear of God! These are two strong castles
341 Unic, 40 | Those who really love God love all good, seek all
342 Unic, 40 | who really and truly loves God can love vanities, riches,
343 Unic, 40 | love? No: if their love for God is genuine love they cannot.
344 Unic, 40 | are degrees of love for God, which shows itself in proportion
345 Unic, 40 | provided it is real love for God.~
346 Unic, 40 | if you feel this love for God which I have spoken of,
347 Unic, 40 | miserable a creature, come from God, and that it is possible
348 Unic, 40 | dissuade many from approaching God who, as I have said, see
349 Unic, 40 | then, could a love like God's be concealed -- so strong,
350 Unic, 40 | vanities have robbed it. God help me! How different must
351 Unic, 40 | this bad inn. Let us praise God and strive to do penance
352 Unic, 40 | sisters, let us beseech God that, if in due course we
353 Unic, 40 | friendship nor the grace of God. May He grant us these in
354 Unic, 41 | Speaks of the fear of God and of how we must keep
355 Unic, 41 | talk about this love of God. What, then, must it be
356 Unic, 41 | now come to the fear of God -- though I am sorry not
357 Unic, 41 | This fear of God is another thing with which
358 Unic, 41 | the moment, its fear of God is plainly revealed, and
359 Unic, 41 | fear; let us always beseech God that temptation may not
360 Unic, 41 | with full knowledge, may God deliver us, especially since
361 Unic, 41 | For the love of God, sisters, never be careless
362 Unic, 41 | would gain this fear of God, remember the importance
363 Unic, 41 | help you to get nearer to God. Be most careful, in all
364 Unic, 41 | which is not pleasing to God. Much care is needed if
365 Unic, 41 | is needed if this fear of God is to be thoroughly impressed
366 Unic, 41 | described, not to offend God for the sake of any creature,
367 Unic, 41 | confidence must come from God. But, when we find ourselves
368 Unic, 41 | we had this true fear of God worldly people would have
369 Unic, 41 | will often help us to love God more and to praise Him for
370 Unic, 41 | saying a word, a servant of God should frequently prevent
371 Unic, 41 | offended. Since this servant of God is in a state of grace,
372 Unic, 41 | strongly as giving offence to God. I really do not know the
373 Unic, 41 | will not lead many souls to God if they see that she is
374 Unic, 41 | you can, without offending God, and to get on as well as
375 Unic, 41 | daughters, to bear in mind that God does not pay great attention
376 Unic, 41 | determined not to offend God. But do not let your soul
377 Unic, 41 | things -- love and fear of God -- we can travel along this
378 Unic, 42 | imperfections and faults in God's service. I am referring,

381 Unic, 42 | share in the favours of God should wish to pass to a

384 Unic, 42 | daughters, unless we beseech God to deliver us from these
