105 Unic, 24 | there is no need for you to think about Him, you are not right;
106 Unic, 24 | very wrong of us not to think about those who teach us,
107 Unic, 24 | forbid that we should fail to think of Him often when we repeat
108 Unic, 25 | In case you should think there is little gain to
109 Unic, 25 | address so great a Lord. To think of this and other similar
110 Unic, 25 | is mental prayer. Do not think of it as one more thing
111 Unic, 25 | like, is vocal prayer. But think how harsh your music will
112 Unic, 26 | have Him everywhere. Do you think it is a small thing to have
113 Unic, 26 | am not asking you now to think of Him, or to form numerous
114 Unic, 26 | your cross or give it up. Think often of the weariness of
115 Unic, 27 | do this, Lord? I cannot think how the devil failed to
116 Unic, 27 | Do you not think, daughters, that this is
117 Unic, 27 | what He teaches us? Do you think it would be right for us,
118 Unic, 27 | lips, to stop trying to think of what we are saying, lest
119 Unic, 27 | will leave it for you to think about; for, however much
120 Unic, 28 | there within itself, it can think about the Passion, and picture
121 Unic, 28 | At first you will think this irrelevant -- I mean
122 Unic, 28 | Guest we have within us, I think it would be impossible for
123 Unic, 28 | world in order to see it. I think, if I had understood then,
124 Unic, 29 | we have not the power to think a single good thought. For
125 Unic, 29 | when we talk to God and yet think of all kinds of vanity.
126 Unic, 29 | is so near us? We do not think people are listening to
127 Unic, 29 | successful in attaining it. Think what a short time that is
128 Unic, 30 | considered tedious? He would also think what he was going to ask
129 Unic, 30 | should stop for a moment to think if what we ask of Thee is
130 Unic, 30 | possible -- but we never think we are rich unless we actually
131 Unic, 30 | back in His face. You must think carefully if what you are
132 Unic, 30 | do not like the subject, think out some other meditations
133 Unic, 30 | ignorant of the subject might think that the two had nothing
134 Unic, 31 | experience that they can think of nothing else to wish
135 Unic, 31 | for a long time, I do not think that, if the will were not
136 Unic, 31 | namely, the will, which I think is united with its God --
137 Unic, 31 | had happened to himself. I think, therefore, that as the
138 Unic, 31 | I think it will be well, sisters,
139 Unic, 31 | would be to put it out. I think the puff should be a gentle
140 Unic, 31 | all, we lose all; and so I think it is here. Experience will
141 Unic, 31 | those of you who have none think this very obscure and unnecessary.
142 Unic, 31 | they do not accept it, but think that they will do better
143 Unic, 31 | grants you this favour. Think what a great treasure you
144 Unic, 32 | not done this, I do not think it would have been possible
145 Unic, 32 | When I think of this, it amuses me that
146 Unic, 32 | of humility because they think themselves to be incapable
147 Unic, 32 | made it thus in the Garden. Think with what resolution and
148 Unic, 32 | words and deeds, as I really think we religious do. Yet sometimes

151 Unic, 34 | are praying for, let us think carefully what this means,
152 Unic, 34 | sustenance -- I neither like to think that the Lord is always
153 Unic, 34 | it -- still less does he think about food. Would the Lord
154 Unic, 34 | as far as she could, to think of outward things, and went
155 Unic, 34 | imagination, as it is when we think of the Lord on the Cross,
156 Unic, 35 | the devil will make you think that you can find more devotion
157 Unic, 36 | knowest, what I am, would think I was being wronged. Blessed
158 Unic, 36 | things about which they think they are being slighted,
159 Unic, 36 | slighted! I am ashamed to think of it now; and I was not
160 Unic, 36 | however grave, you need not think much of that person's prayer.130
161 Unic, 36 | distresses them when people think them better than they are,
162 Unic, 36 | devil, which he makes us think to be good, so that we may
163 Unic, 38 | us come from God. This, I think, in a way, is the least
164 Unic, 38 | from this other delusion we think that we are giving and serving,
165 Unic, 38 | already acquired it. We think we are walking safely, when,
166 Unic, 38 | want to tell you. If we think the Lord has given us a
167 Unic, 38 | certainly have: sometimes I think I am extremely detached,
168 Unic, 38 | sisters: let us rather think of ourselves as lacking
169 Unic, 38 | virtues: we ought not to think that we know anything about
170 Unic, 38 | giving you, and you must think of it only as a deposit,
171 Unic, 38 | goes far towards making us think it true. It is very important
172 Unic, 38 | you once more, even if you think you possess it, to suspect
173 Unic, 38 | The devil makes you think you are poor, and he has
174 Unic, 38 | most unlikely that he will think it superfluous. He always
175 Unic, 38 | and obtain from God. If we think we already possess it, we
176 Unic, 38 | regard to humility.135 We think that we have no desire for
177 Unic, 38 | anything, and we honestly think them to be true, and get
178 Unic, 39 | sinfulness, and rightly think that everyone should hate
179 Unic, 39 | soul, so grievous is it. I think the devil is anxious for
180 Unic, 39 | your own wretchedness, and think of the mercy of God and
181 Unic, 39 | sense of security, they think nothing of running once
182 Unic, 40 | things worthy of love. Do you think it possible that anyone
183 Unic, 40 | genuine love they cannot. Why, think of Saint Paul or the Magdalen.

185 Unic, 40 | sinners. Many such souls think that He will treat them
186 Unic, 41 | and without restraint. You think such people are imperfect;
187 Unic, 41 | lively disposition, you think them dissolute. This is
188 Unic, 41 | neighbour. It is very wrong to think that everyone who does not
189 Unic, 41 | peace and quietness, and not think at every step that we can
190 Unic, 42 | I think the good Jesus was right
191 Unic, 42 | useless, sisters, for us to think that, for so long as we
192 Unic, 42 | daughters, must ask as you think best. Personally, I shall
