31 Unic, 11 | it there may be, the poor soul is taken in and prevented
32 Unic, 12 | obstacles to this, and the soul that is perfect can be detached

34 Unic, 12 | Exercises like this bring the soul such profit that on the
35 Unic, 12 | us too. In this way the soul begins to lose the occasions
36 Unic, 13 | die, whereas the loss of a soul is a great loss which is

49 Unic, 18 | be most fitting for his soul, and for His own Self, and
50 Unic, 19 | Himself! In this life the soul will never thirst for anything
51 Unic, 19 | imagine here below. How the soul thirsts to experience this
52 Unic, 19 | favours He can bestow on the soul is to leave it with this
53 Unic, 19 | down from Heaven? Once the soul has drunk of it I am convinced
54 Unic, 19 | that it may cleanse the soul and leave it pure and free
55 Unic, 19 | something clinging to the soul, through the influence of
56 Unic, 19 | because in this state the soul is in repose. So intolerable

69 Unic, 26 | methodically, you will get your soul used to this, so that it
70 Unic, 26 | say) until the unfortunate soul no longer knows what it
71 Unic, 27 | Oh, how right would the soul be to enter within itself,
72 Unic, 28 | effecting recollection in the soul.~
73 Unic, 28 | little importance that a soul which is often distracted

77 Unic, 28 | cannot see them and the soul's spiritual sight becomes
78 Unic, 28 | than to close them. The soul seems to gather up its strength
79 Unic, 28 | efforts have cost them, the soul and the will should be given
80 Unic, 28 | after they have entered the soul many times, the Lord is
81 Unic, 28 | to it from outside, the soul remains alone with its God
82 Unic, 28 | building so beautiful as a soul that is pure and full of
83 Unic, 28 | that the interior of the soul is empty; God grant that
84 Unic, 28 | perfectly well that I had a soul, but I did not understand

93 Unic, 29 | faculties within itself by the soul.~
94 Unic, 29 | companionship which I have within my soul for as much as a moment,
95 Unic, 29 | habits that prevent the soul from going astray and the
96 Unic, 30 | all love Him there and the soul's one concern is loving
97 Unic, 30 | with God's help, for a soul living in that state of
98 Unic, 30 | faculties tranquillity and our soul quiet, and while they are
99 Unic, 31 | is a state in which the soul enters into peace, or rather
100 Unic, 31 | faculties are stilled. The soul, in a way which has nothing
101 Unic, 31 | though less clearly, does the soul know Who He is. It cannot
102 Unic, 31 | greatest delight and the soul is conscious of a deep satisfaction.
103 Unic, 31 | make appears to hinder the soul from loving God. They are
104 Unic, 31 | of Quiet, God grants the soul another favour which is
105 Unic, 31 | therefore, that as the soul experiences such satisfaction
106 Unic, 31 | may come about that the soul is enjoying the highest
107 Unic, 31 | effort and no gain and the soul will lose what God has been
108 Unic, 31 | me very appropriate. The soul is like an infant still
109 Unic, 31 | exercising its thought, the soul should realize that it is
110 Unic, 31 | is not His will that the soul should try to understand
111 Unic, 31 | unable to do so, and the soul will perforce lose the milk112
112 Unic, 31 | different from that in which the soul is wholly united with God,
113 Unic, 31 | to be His will that the soul should work a little, though
114 Unic, 31 | Well, as I say, the soul is conscious of having reached
115 Unic, 31 | not suffice to bring the soul such inward satisfaction
116 Unic, 31 | by saying that, when the soul is brought to this state
117 Unic, 31 | they are. If God gives a soul such pledges, it is a sign
118 Unic, 32 | Majesty. When He sees a soul who loves Him greatly, He
119 Unic, 32 | Him greatly, He knows that soul can suffer much for Him,
120 Unic, 32 | more resolute we are in soul and the more we show Him
121 Unic, 32 | content with having made this soul one with Himself, through
122 Unic, 32 | make such a friend of the soul that not only does He restore
123 Unic, 32 | about. So He does what the soul asks of Him, just as the
124 Unic, 32 | asks of Him, just as the soul does what He commands, only
125 Unic, 32 | But the poor soul, despite its desires, is
126 Unic, 32 | must be a hindrance to the soul which the Lord has brought
127 Unic, 34 | for, in whatever way the soul desires to partake of food,
128 Unic, 34 | forget the needs of the soul! Besides, are we such moderately
129 Unic, 34 | yourselves, but let your soul be at rest. Leave anxiety
130 Unic, 34 | Himself to the eyes of the soul and may make Himself known
131 Unic, 34 | they should not hinder the soul from becoming conscious
132 Unic, 34 | revealing Himself to the soul through deep inward emotions
133 Unic, 34 | profitable hour for the soul; if you spend it in the
134 Unic, 34 | else, try to leave your soul with the Lord. For He is
135 Unic, 34 | to open the eyes of the soul and to look into your own
136 Unic, 35 | this difference: if the soul is properly disposed, and
137 Unic, 35 | He finds but one single soul which will receive Him and
138 Unic, 35 | as its Guest.124 Let this soul be yours, then, for, if
139 Unic, 36 | have because it profits the soul. How truly has someone said: "
140 Unic, 36 | literally true, for the soul's profit and what the world
141 Unic, 36 | beginning. God grant that no soul be lost through its attention
142 Unic, 36 | wrongs have no effect upon a soul whom God draws to Himself
143 Unic, 36 | what great benefits the soul gains and what progress
144 Unic, 36 | effects are not produced in a soul and it is not strengthened
145 Unic, 36 | grants these favours, the soul will not immediately attain
146 Unic, 36 | I cannot believe that a soul which has approached so
147 Unic, 36 | done it wrong. For such a soul remembers the consolation
148 Unic, 36 | said, when He visits the soul, always enriches it. That
149 Unic, 36 | which it bestows on the soul. And, as the good Jesus
150 Unic, 37 | blessing that the spiritual soul still on earth can desire,
151 Unic, 38 | of angels of light. The soul fails to recognize them
152 Unic, 39 | gets to such a pass that a soul can be made to believe that,
153 Unic, 39 | troubles nor disturbs the soul; it is accompanied by peace,
154 Unic, 39 | disturbing or depressing the soul, it enlarges it and makes
155 Unic, 39 | the mind and troubles the soul, so grievous is it. I think
156 Unic, 39 | astonishment, for if a single soul attains perfection it robs
157 Unic, 40 | In order to disturb the soul and keep it from enjoying
158 Unic, 40 | will become of the poor soul when it falls into these
159 Unic, 40 | feelings of that wretched soul when it is condemned to
160 Unic, 41 | in them. When at last the soul attains to contemplation,
161 Unic, 41 | are conscious within your soul of possessing it, you need
162 Unic, 41 | thoroughly impressed upon the soul; though, if one has true
163 Unic, 41 | acquired. Even when the soul has that firm inward determination
164 Unic, 41 | God. But do not let your soul dwell in seclusion, or,
165 Unic, 42 | beginning, until God absorbs the soul and gives it to drink abundantly
166 Unic, 42 | living water and what the soul experiences when there,
