 11  Unic,   3     |  especially for our Bishop, for I know that those of you now here
 12  Unic,   4     |       Order commands; for, as you know, if prayer is to be genuine
 13  Unic,   4     |       blood. Otherwise, before we know where we are, we shall find
 14  Unic,   4     |       have here, and how we shall know when we have this virtue,
 15  Unic,   4     |     confessor only, they will not know what to do, nor how to pacify
 16  Unic, App     |         of danger, and for him to know that you like him may do

 20  Unic,   5     |          that any confessor would know this, but you would be wrong:
 21  Unic,   5     |          were of no importance. I know that he had no intention
 22  Unic,   6     |     spiritual; I am not sure if I know what I am talking about,
 23  Unic,   6     |          for I am not sure that I know when love is spiritual and
 24  Unic,   6     |          may say that you already know everything that I have said.
 25  Unic,   6     |           and that you may indeed know it in the only way which
 26  Unic,   6     |       depart from it, for, if you know it, you will see that I
 27  Unic,   6     |  affection wearies them, for they know it can bring them no profit
 28  Unic,   6     |           to be lasting, and they know quite well that that is
 29  Unic,   6     |        remain fixed upon it. They know and have learned and experienced
 30  Unic,   6     |        will end with life -- they know that unless it loves Him
 31  Unic,   6     |          Him; for, as I say, they know that no other kind of affection

 34  Unic,   7     |           have God. But to get to know God's friends is a very
 35  Unic,   7     |        great deal of harm. Get to know what are the things in your
 36  Unic,   7     |       this can ever happen, but I know it is the chief trouble
 37  Unic,   8     |           in this alone. I do not know why I am saying this, when
 38  Unic,   8     |        should like to be and as I know I ought to be; and I must
 39  Unic,   8     |        matters are concerned, you know how completely cut off we
 40  Unic,   8     |      multitude of people! -- do I know who are better than myself
 41  Unic,   9     |           give you, since, as you know, the Lord will provide for
 42  Unic,   9     |          wrote about it! I do not know how much of the world we
 43  Unic,   9     |          His Majesty sends you. I know this is so, and, if you
 44  Unic,   9     |         have written about it who know what they are talking about
 45  Unic,  10     |     already in the house. And you know there is no worse thief
 46  Unic,  10(33) |            T. remodels thus: "You know there is no worse thief
 47  Unic,  10     |        for a day. I really do not know what we are coming to.~
 48  Unic,  10     |           opposite extreme will I know, not mind my saying this,
 49  Unic,  11     |          people of position, as I know -- have serious complaints
 50  Unic,  11     |        yourselves except when you know it to be necessary. Unless
 51  Unic,  12     |          His sake. And do you not know, sisters, that the life
 52  Unic,  12     |         in the extreme. How do we know but that ours will be so
 53  Unic,  12     |         great abuses. Remember, I know a great deal about this.
 54  Unic,  12     |   sensitiveness to insult. Do you know one reason, apart from many
 55  Unic,  12(39) |                     Lit.: "Do you know why, apart from other things?"~
 56  Unic,  13     |        Him those wrongs? I do not know why anyone is in a convent
 57  Unic,  13     |           at all? I really do not know.~
 58  Unic,  15     |        like a person who does not know what she is doing. It is
 59  Unic,  15     |          them our penance. As you know, I deprecate [other severe
 60  Unic,  15     |           of them undeservedly, I know not what to say for myself,
 61  Unic,  15     |         difficult at first, but I know that, with the Lord's help,
 62  Unic,  16     |           by them, my daughters I know no others, and even now
 63  Unic,  16     |         well, and, if he does not know how to give check, he will
 64  Unic,  16     |           so have many others who know what they are writing about,
 65  Unic,  16     |      early stages he did not even know how to set out the chess-board,
 66  Unic,  16     |      which is not His own. And we know that, by committing mortal
 67  Unic,  16     |          him pleasure; and, as we know, his delights, even in this
 68  Unic,  16     |           Let there be nothing we know of which it would be a service
 69  Unic,  17     |           concerning the Faith. I know a very old woman, leading
 70  Unic,  17     | contemplation, for contemplatives know that, though they themselves
 71  Unic,  18     |      contemplation] -- that, as I know from what I have seen and
 72  Unic,  18     |         God sends them crosses. I know about both types of life
 73  Unic,  18     |           all the nuns; you never know when the Spouse will call
 74  Unic,  18     |          understand ourselves and know not what we ask, let us
 75  Unic,  18     |           knows us better than we know ourselves. True humility
 76  Unic,  18     |                    If you want to know whether you have made progress
 77  Unic,  18     |           of perfection, I do not know why she is in the convent.
 78  Unic,  19     |         water for washing? Do you know what cleansing properties
 79  Unic,  20     |           learning it. You cannot know as well as I do, for I have
 80  Unic,  22     |                          You must know, daughters, that whether
 81  Unic,  22     |        due to him, or how can you know what ceremonies have to
 82  Unic,  22     |           to go wrong: you cannot know what mental prayer is, or
 83  Unic,  22     |         you may not be alarmed. I know what such fears lead to,83
 84  Unic,  22     |        the angels in His presence know well that their King is
 85  Unic,  22     |        there is no more for us to know about them; for on earth
 86  Unic,  22     |      possible here below, that to know nothing is everything, and
 87  Unic,  22     |    qualities of our Spouse and to know Whom we have wedded and
 88  Unic,  23     |           great harm. And if they know anyone to be changeable,
 89  Unic,  23     |          and difficulties. This I know very well by experience
 90  Unic,  23     |        goodness, even though they know of it by faith. It is a
 91  Unic,  23     |           outlay. But you already know that even in this life we
 92  Unic,  23     |          a never-failing truth: I know it; though, if you do not
 93  Unic,  23     |           who, by God's goodness, know it from experience.~
 94  Unic,  24     |           I should understand and know what it is that I believe;
 95  Unic,  24     |            If you assert that you know Who He is already, and so
 96  Unic,  24     |           in the first place, you know that His Majesty teaches
 97  Unic,  24     |         guard over themselves and know that they must not speak
 98  Unic,  24     |           vocal prayer and do not know how to do anything further.
 99  Unic,  25     |         its love, yet it does not know how it is rejoicing in it.
100  Unic,  26     |          pray as we ought. As you know, the first things must be
101  Unic,  26     |          costs form this habit. I know quite well that you are
102  Unic,  26     |           sore trial it is. But I know the Lord does not leave
103  Unic,  26     |         you feel as if you do not know him, for both kinship and
104  Unic,  27     |     yourselves into His arms. You know that, if you are good children,
105  Unic,  28     |                               You know that God is everywhere;
106  Unic,  28     |    certain effects which I do not know how to explain but which
107  Unic,  29     |         Lord, certainly cannot; I know that [in truth] I owe Thee
108  Unic,  29     |          I want is that we should know103 and abide with the Person
109  Unic,  29     |         looking at us? How can we know if Thou hast heard what
110  Unic,  29     |           those of you who do not know it: for my own part I must
111  Unic,  29     |           length. Perhaps you all know this, but some sister may
112  Unic,  29     |          come to you who will not know it, so you must not be vexed
113  Unic,  29     |       about this as well spent. I know that, with God's help, if
114  Unic,  30     |         it is well that we should know this.~
115  Unic,  30     |        that it is good for you to know what you are asking for
116  Unic,  30     |           want to tell you what I know about the matter now. If
117  Unic,  30     |        with one another, though I know this is certainly not true.
118  Unic,  30     |     wanting to speak of it, for I know there are many people who
119  Unic,  30     |        your vocal prayers well. I know a nun who could never practise
120  Unic,  30     |           saying that she did not know how to practise mental prayer,
121  Unic,  31     |       less clearly, does the soul know Who He is. It cannot understand
122  Unic,  31     |         so close to God that they know they can make themselves
123  Unic,  31     |         give you great comfort to know what it is. I believe God
124  Unic,  31     |         and Mary work together. I know someone to whom the Lord
125  Unic,  31     |       brought to this state, as I know that this has happened to
126  Unic,  31     |            The Lord desires it to know that it is He Who is granting
127  Unic,  31     |          like all such persons to know what they lack and to humble
128  Unic,  31     |            but I have seen it and know that it happens, and, for
129  Unic,  32     |           His Kingdom on earth, I know that we can truly fulfil
130  Unic,  32     |         and so barren of fruit, I know not, Lord, how it could
131  Unic,  32     |    service of ours that we do not know for what more we can ask,
132  Unic,  32     |    received? We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we
133  Unic,  33     |         but Thine: well dost Thou know of Whom Thou art asking
134  Unic,  33     |        How to sell Him we already know, for He was sold for thirty
135  Unic,  34     |        for food? As if He did not know that, once we begin to worry
136  Unic,  34     |           I am sure that it is. I know a person who was subject
137  Unic,  34     |         to learn about them and I know that they are not fabrications.
138  Unic,  34     |                                 I know, too, that for many years
139  Unic,  34     |  somewhere a long way off. For we know that, until the accidents
140  Unic,  34     |                            Oh, we know not what we ask! How much
141  Unic,  34     |       much better does His Wisdom know what we need! He reveals
142  Unic,  34     |         with the portrait? Do you know when I find the use of a
143  Unic,  36     |           without cause, I do not know what I should do. But at
144  Unic,  36     |     cannot go together." I do not know if this was what that person
145  Unic,  36     |           that they amaze me! You know nothing about this, sisters,
146  Unic,  36     |      studies (a matter of which I know nothing): anyone, for example,
147  Unic,  36     |             is quite usual, and I know for a fact that it happens.
148  Unic,  36     |           desire trials, for they know quite well that trials will
149  Unic,  36     |         their descent, which they know quite well will be of no
150  Unic,  36     |        Itself, and has learned to know itself and the greatness
151  Unic,  36     |                   I repeat that I know many persons to whom Our
152  Unic,  37     |           such a way that He will know that there is no duplicity
153  Unic,  38     |           for their pay, but they know they will not get very far
154  Unic,  38     |      their open enemies, for they know who they are and are sure
155  Unic,  38     |    temptation is full of peril. I know a great deal about it from
156  Unic,  38     |          scoffed at that I hardly know myself. At some other time
157  Unic,  38     |          better than myself, so I know it can happen.~
158  Unic,  38     |       from elsewhere and we never know when God will leave us in
159  Unic,  38     |        ought not to think that we know anything about them beyond
160  Unic,  39     |          experience of this, so I know it is true. Humility, however
161  Unic,  39     |        pleasures of the world. "I know all about these things now,"
162  Unic,  40     |           state of grace. But you know, sisters, there are some
163  Unic,  40     |          they are right: I myself know certain persons inspired
164  Unic,  40     |         to recognize it; I do not know how it could be concealed.
165  Unic,  40     |       death, when we are going we know not whither, to realize
166  Unic,  40     |           in this world, and will know no fear, but only peace.~
167  Unic,  41     |         will not endure. I do not know why it surprises us to hear
168  Unic,  41     |       love, which, for my sins, I know well and should like to
169  Unic,  41     | displeases Thee, I shall do it. I know that Thou seest it and I
170  Unic,  41     |          that Thou seest it and I know that Thou wouldst not have
171  Unic,  41     |           matter about which they know him to feel so strongly
172  Unic,  41     |           to God. I really do not know the reason for this but
173  Unic,  41     |          reason for this but I do know that it very commonly happens.
174  Unic,  42     |          this for Himself, for we know how weary of this life He
175  Unic,  42     |            Lord, is that I cannot know with any certainty if I
176  Unic,  42     |          in which we consider and know to Whom the prayer is being
177  Unic,  42     |       nothing to fear, you do not know what is in store for you.
178  Unic,  42     |        Paternoster well, you will know enough to enable you to
179  Unic,  42     |    matters. Well does His Majesty know that I should not have ventured
180  Unic,  42(146)|                The Life. I do not know what reason St. Teresa had
