 1  Prol         |       how useless I am when His Majesty does not help me.~
 2  Unic,   1    |      God for; we are to ask His Majesty to give them money and to
 3  Unic,   2    |         cry out about it to His Majesty and speak to your Superior.
 4  Unic,   2    |        the Lord, to imitate His Majesty in any degree would bring
 5  Unic,   2    |         have said here. May His Majesty always keep us in His hand
 6  Unic,   3    |       may be able to please His Majesty. Seeing how great are the
 7  Unic,   3    |        I beg you to beseech His Majesty to hear us in this; I, miserable
 8  Unic,   3    |         am, beseech this of His Majesty, since it is for His glory
 9  Unic,   3    |        not, my Emperor; let Thy Majesty be appeased; look not upon
10  Unic,   3    |       this poor sinner21 to His Majesty and to beseech Him to give
11  Unic,   4    |       object the service of His Majesty, it at once becomes clear
12  Unic,   4    |      leaving everything for His Majesty? More especially is this
13  Unic,   4    |      that, with the help of His Majesty, there will always be love
14  Unic,   4    |        others. May God, for His Majesty's own sake, deliver us from
15  Unic,   5    |         the Lord grant, for His Majesty's own sake, that no one
16  Unic,   6    |      Him in prayer, or whom His Majesty wishes to teach -- then
17  Unic,   6    |     them; and so they leave His Majesty to recompense them for this
18  Unic,   7    |       of them all, and this His Majesty permits you. If you use
19  Unic,   7    |        how easy is this for His Majesty, Who made us out of nothing
20  Unic,   7    |      see by experience. May His Majesty be pleased ever to increase
21  Unic,   7    |         house. Cry aloud to His Majesty and try to put things right;
22  Unic,   8    |  embrace the Creator alone, His Majesty will infuse the virtues
23  Unic,   8    |     only twelve of us31 and His Majesty has been pleased for you
24  Unic,   8    |        these few of us whom His Majesty has brought together for
25  Unic,   9    |       of His servants] whom His Majesty sends you. I know this is
26  Unic,  10    |       and turn them to God. His Majesty will help us to do this.
27  Unic,  15    |   goodness you practise it, His Majesty has never granted this favour
28  Unic,  15    |        thief to defend Him. His Majesty, then, will put it into
29  Unic,  16    |     children of others. Yet His Majesty will do what He often does --
30  Unic,  16    |        are completely lost, His Majesty wants to leave no stone
31  Unic,  16    |       not give ourselves to His Majesty as resolutely as He gives
32  Unic,  16    |         resolution. And, if His Majesty is pleased that by doing
33  Unic,  17    |         devils in hell; yet His Majesty has brought her here to
34  Unic,  17    |       earth like that which His Majesty Himself always bore.~
35  Unic,  18    |       and begin again. Then His Majesty is obliged to give them
36  Unic,  18    |         it might be because His Majesty had permitted you to be
37  Unic,  18    |        ours is weak, though His Majesty will strengthen those on
38  Unic,  19    |        God; and in this way His Majesty enables it to enjoy experiences
39  Unic,  19    |        Lord is faithful and His Majesty would never allow a servant
40  Unic,  19    |          give us grace, for His Majesty's own sake, to seek it as
41  Unic,  20    |          I now repeat this: His Majesty, being Who He is and understanding
42  Unic,  21    |     servant of God, to whom His Majesty has given light to follow
43  Unic,  23    |       If you do not believe His Majesty in those passages of His
44  Unic,  24    |        place, you know that His Majesty teaches that this prayer
45  Unic,  25    |  contemplation. In this way His Majesty shows that He is listening
46  Unic,  25    |       can do nothing. It is His Majesty Who does everything; the
47  Unic,  26(99)|                Lit.: "With what majesty!"~
48  Unic,  26    |       that, if you had seen His Majesty with your bodily eyes at
49  Unic,  26    |        what He teaches you; His Majesty will then ensure your not
50  Unic,  27    |        as good, and of as great majesty and dominion, as ours? Were
51  Unic,  27    |      was the son of a king! His Majesty knew what a fuss would be
52  Unic,  27    |        in jest; I hope that His Majesty will indeed deliver you.
53  Unic,  28    |          in any place where His Majesty is, there is fulness of
54  Unic,  28    |       something of His own. His Majesty is right in demanding this;
55  Unic,  29    |         speak to Him, since His Majesty will make us conscious that
56  Unic,  29    |       close to Himself. May His Majesty never allow us to withdraw
57  Unic,  30    |         ask for it, but ask His Majesty to give you light. For we
58  Unic,  30    |        should realize this. His Majesty, knowing of how little we
59  Unic,  31    |      for the Lord and allow His Majesty to do His own work in us.
60  Unic,  31    |        drink the milk which His Majesty puts into its mouth and
61  Unic,  32    |         the love we bear to His Majesty. When He sees a soul who
62  Unic,  32    |   yourselves to suffer what His Majesty desires. For if you give
63  Unic,  32    |      more we can ask, while His Majesty never wearies of giving.
64  Unic,  33    |         ourselves daily for His Majesty's sake.~
65  Unic,  34    |       in our service.121 As His Majesty has already given His Son
66  Unic,  34    |         He is in our house? His Majesty is not wont to offer us
67  Unic,  34    |    falsehood. And if such great Majesty could be seen, how could
68  Unic,  35    |       something for Him and His Majesty will repay us. Remember,
69  Unic,  35    |         Him, let us beseech His Majesty, in the name of the good
70  Unic,  35    |        then, my Lord, I beg Thy Majesty to apply it. For if Thou
71  Unic,  36    |    taking us out of it! May His Majesty grant that this house shall
72  Unic,  36    |       only very rarely does His Majesty grant it such great consolations,
73  Unic,  36    |       favours and graces in His Majesty's sight than they could
74  Unic,  37    |         I have wondered why His Majesty did not expound such obscure
75  Unic,  37    | brethren of such a Brother. His Majesty knows that if, as I say,
76  Unic,  37    |        the greatest hope of His Majesty's pleasure from the effects
77  Unic,  38    |         contemplation which His Majesty gives them are coming from
78  Unic,  38    |       Lord brings good. For His Majesty regards our intention, which
79  Unic,  38    |      then have no fear that His Majesty will allow you to be comforted
80  Unic,  40    |        and fear given us by His Majesty. For love will make us quicken
81  Unic,  40    |                         May His Majesty be pleased to grant us to
82  Unic,  42    |   trials or such poverty as His Majesty had to bear. What was His
83  Unic,  42    |         been described. May His Majesty forgive me for having dared
84  Unic,  42    |     high matters. Well does His Majesty know that I should not have
