 1  Prol     |         many holy and spiritual persons, have, out of their great
 2  Prol,   0|      which may do great harm to persons as weak as we women are.
 3  Unic,   2|      offer continual prayer for persons who give them food. It is
 4  Unic,   2|        Him, we should thank the persons by whose means He gives
 5  Unic,   3|     which is not granted to the persons of whom I have been speaking,
 6  Unic,   3|      enemies of the world, like persons who are in exile -- to be,
 7  Unic,   3|        angels? Yet unless these persons act thus, they neither deserve
 8  Unic,   4|         carry out. What kind of persons shall we have to be if we
 9  Unic,   4|     Lord that He will not allow persons who are to spend their lives
10  Unic, App|  confessor is concerned. For if persons who are practising prayer
11  Unic, App|       confessor is guiding such persons to greater perfection, they
12  Unic,   5|     talk about their souls with persons of learning, especially
13  Unic,   5|     spiritual matters with such persons as I have described. I will
14  Unic,   5|        there is no lack of holy persons who will be glad to advise
15  Unic,   5|      long as the confessors are persons both of learning and of
16  Unic,   5|       their confessions to such persons as have been described,
17  Unic,   5|         end he brought together persons of learning, spirituality
18  Unic,   6|        will answer me that such persons cannot love or repay the
19  Unic,   6| pleasure is folly save when the persons concerned can benefit their
20  Unic,   6|         as I say, it relates to persons who can lead us to do good
21  Unic,   6|        that remains to us? Such persons, then, except for the advantage
22  Unic,   6|          Do you think that such persons will love none and delight
23  Unic,   7|        acquaintance of any such persons, sisters, the Mother Prioress
24  Unic,   7|      touch with them. Love such persons as much as you like. There
25  Unic,   7|      the Lord, I owe it to such persons that I am not in hell; I
26  Unic,   8|       unless they are spiritual persons and do her soul some good,
27  Unic,  12|      God grants consolations to persons less completely detached
28  Unic,  12|        we yield to them. Though persons who do so may have spent
29  Unic,  13|         it may be; things which persons in good health delight in
30  Unic,  14|         us who admit unsuitable persons may not pay for it in the
31  Unic,  14|         the world to come! Such persons are never without a pretext
32  Unic,  15|  business. It will be as if two persons are talking in your presence
33  Unic,  16|      case I assure you, and all persons who desire this blessing,
34  Unic,  16|         to show great favour to persons who are in an evil state [
35  Unic,  16|  understood, I think, that such persons will not be in mortal sin
36  Unic,  16|   strong, being no respecter of persons;51 and He will give courage
37  Unic,  18|    seldom giving things to such persons, He sees clearly that they
38  Unic,  19|          and so there have been persons who have died of it. I knew
39  Unic,  22|      earth one makes account of persons, and honours them, not because
40  Unic,  24|       ill-health (especially in persons who suffer from melancholia);
41  Unic,  24|        directions are meant for persons who keep careful guard over
42  Unic,  28|      very useful, especially to persons like yourselves. For, as
43  Unic,  30|         this book to read until persons who understand these matters
44  Unic,  31|        else will unsettle them. Persons in this state prefer the
45  Unic,  31|         First of all, when such persons experience this joy, without
46  Unic,  31|    least I should like all such persons to know what they lack and
47  Unic,  31|       conscience. But there are persons -- and I have been one of
48  Unic,  36|          sisters, that as these persons have already learned to
49  Unic,  36|       gold and jewels, so these persons prize and desire trials,
50  Unic,  36|                            Such persons would never on any account
51  Unic,  36|       mentioned are produced in persons who have reached a high
52  Unic,  36|         repeat that I know many persons to whom Our Lord has granted
53  Unic,  37|      desire earthly things, and persons greatly devoted to God,
54  Unic,  39|        a single one of the many persons who are striving to be perfect
55  Unic,  40|        please the Beloved. Such persons die with longing for Him
56  Unic,  40|    right: I myself know certain persons inspired in this way who
