 1  Unic,   1|     pray to God for; we are to ask His Majesty to give them
 2  Unic,   1|   quite good, and I do as they ask because I see that they
 3  Unic,   2|       will lead them to go and ask for something which they
 4  Unic,   3|  sisters, that what we have to ask of God is that, in this
 5  Unic,   3|     over to the enemy. We must ask God, too, to make the captains
 6  Unic,   3|                        You may ask why I emphasize this so
 7  Unic,   3|            Hear us not when we ask Thee for honours, endowments,
 8  Unic,   3|        Eternal Father, when we ask only for the honour of Thy
 9  Unic,   5|     other. If the poor sisters ask for another confessor, they
10  Unic,   6|                         Do you ask, again, by what they are
11  Unic,   7|        prevail with God and to ask them to intercede with Him
12  Unic,   7|        them, and then we shall ask God to give her patience
13  Unic,  10|     obligations and that if we ask to be excused from them
14  Unic,  10|     breaking, and you come and ask her to excuse you from keeping
15  Unic,  12|                        You may ask why I lay such stress on
16  Unic,  12|                                Ask yourselves, sisters, if
17  Unic,  12|     same time. Let each of you ask herself how much humility
18  Unic,  12|       quickly from temptation, ask the superior, as soon as
19  Unic,  12|       tell you about it and to ask how you can allow yourself
20  Unic,  12|  insult, your sisters come and ask you if you are a beast of
21  Unic,  16|                       You will ask, my daughters, why I am
22  Unic,  17|     salvation and God does not ask it of us before He gives
23  Unic,  18| ourselves and know not what we ask, let us leave everything
24  Unic,  18|     people who seem to want to ask favours from God as a right.
25  Unic,  21|    practise only vocal prayer, ask whether your mind and heart
26  Unic,  23|       and that the Lord says: "Ask and it shall be given you."91
27  Unic,  23|      us very much more than we ask or shall even get so far
28  Unic,  26|        approach Him humbly and ask Him to be with us He will
29  Unic,  26|  without our obtaining what we ask, let us be prepared to try
30  Unic,  26|                       You will ask me, sisters, how you can
31  Unic,  28|       we should to our father, ask Him for things as we should
32  Unic,  28|        for things as we should ask a father, tell Him our troubles,
33  Unic,  28|      speak to me and beg me to ask for what I wanted, and I
34  Unic,  28|        Him. Do not be foolish; ask Him to let you speak to
35  Unic,  30|       of understanding what we ask for in prayer. Treats of
36  Unic,  30|     think what he was going to ask for and what use he would
37  Unic,  30|     therefore, to be taught to ask for particular things so
38  Unic,  30|     moment to think if what we ask of Thee is good for us,
39  Unic,  30|       if it is not, should not ask for it. For, being what
40  Unic,  30|      we do not receive what we ask for, we shall not accept
41  Unic,  30|       if what you are about to ask for will be good for you;
42  Unic,  30|         if it will not, do not ask for it, but ask His Majesty
43  Unic,  30|         do not ask for it, but ask His Majesty to give you
44  Unic,  30|      that He never tells us to ask for impossibilities, so
45  Unic,  31|     reverence that it dares to ask nothing. It is, as it were,
46  Unic,  31|     milk without its having to ask for it so much as by moving
47  Unic,  31|   blessed request, in which we ask for so great a good without
48  Unic,  31|     vocal prayers, and what we ask for in them. For clearly,
49  Unic,  31|      Lord gives them what they ask for, to throw it back in
50  Unic,  32|     has taught us ourselves to ask, for a thing so precious
51  Unic,  32|     our behalf) how canst Thou ask [so much] for us? What we
52  Unic,  32|  should be people who dare not ask the Lord for trials, thinking
53  Unic,  32| referring to those who omit to ask for them out of humility
54  Unic,  32|      gives them love enough to ask for such a stern method
55  Unic,  32|    endure it. I should like to ask those who are afraid to
56  Unic,  32|      prayer from their hearts? Ask His glorious Son, Who made
57  Unic,  32|      Creator and the creature. Ask yourselves if that will
58  Unic,  32|      know for what more we can ask, while His Majesty never
59  Unic,  33|    Lord should give us what we ask in these words of the Paternoster: "
60  Unic,  33|      He wanted, as it were, to ask leave of His Father, for
61  Unic,  34|       his master every day and ask him for food when he knew
62  Unic,  34|        He will give us what we ask of Him since He is in our
63  Unic,  34|        Oh, we know not what we ask! How much better does His
64  Unic,  36|   anything else. Then we shall ask the Lord to forgive us as
65  Unic,  37|        it as he thought right, ask for what he wanted and find
66  Unic,  37|    greatly devoted to God, can ask for the heavenly favours
67  Unic,  37|       of their state, may also ask for the bread which they
68  Unic,  37|       right, and they may also ask for other things according
69  Unic,  37|    always give us more than we ask for. Our good Master knows
70  Unic,  38|     Father to grant us what we ask in these words: "Et ne nos
71  Unic,  38|       attain perfection do not ask the Lord to deliver them
72  Unic,  38|        good cloth, he will not ask for one of coarse material.
73  Unic,  40|                       You will ask me how you can tell if you
74  Unic,  40|   virtues.138 You are right to ask, for we can never be quite
75  Unic,  42|        good Jesus was right to ask this for Himself, for we
76  Unic,  42|       not right that we should ask to be delivered from sin?~
77  Unic,  42|           You, daughters, must ask as you think best. Personally,
78  Unic,  42|     redress in this life, so I ask the Lord to deliver me from
79  Unic,  42|       of Him and teaches us to ask Him for it too?~
80  Unic,  42|            When contemplatives ask for this with fervent desire
81  Unic,  42|        What does it cost us to ask it, since we ask it of One
82  Unic,  42|    cost us to ask it, since we ask it of One Who is so powerful?
83  Unic,  42|   insulting a great emperor to ask him for a farthing. Since
