 1  Intr,   0|         exhorts her daughters to practise it in their own lives. Even
 2  Intr,   0|          and all other souls who practise the interior life, from
 3  Unic,   2|       poverty. Those of them who practise it will also realize this,
 4  Unic,   4|         prayer must of necessity practise. So necessary are these
 5  Unic,   7|     heart does not allow them to practise duplicity: if they see their
 6  Unic,   7|      strive for your own part to practise the virtue which is the
 7  Unic,   8|         detachment which we must practise, for if this is carried
 8  Unic,   8|     write of such things than to practise them. I may not even be
 9  Unic,  10|       die for Christ, and not to practise self-indulgence for Christ,
10  Unic,  12|       gives us! Here, as you all practise this, you have done the
11  Unic,  15|        and by God's goodness you practise it, His Majesty has never
12  Unic,  15| important to accustom oneself to practise this virtue and to endeavour
13  Unic,  16|           and advised you all to practise it, even if you do not possess
14  Unic,  16|         to hear about them or to practise them, continue your mental
15  Unic,  16|      this. God grant that we may practise it as we should! I am afraid,
16  Unic,  17|       should try to learn how to practise it often: that is one of
17  Unic,  17|       should be known by all who practise prayer. How can anyone who
18  Unic,  17|          all of us in this house practise prayer, we are all perforce
19  Unic,  18|           nor service orders. So practise mental prayer, sisters;
20  Unic,  19|         minds, and for souls who practise prayer and can be a great
21  Unic,  20|     hearts, as it will be if you practise meditation, and you will
22  Unic,  21|      whether or no everyone must practise mental or vocal prayer;
23  Unic,  21|       about the fall of some who practise prayer.~
24  Unic,  21|          there are a few who did practise prayer and whom the devil
25  Unic,  21|          have a good conscience; practise humility; despise all worldly
26  Unic,  21|         tell you that you should practise only vocal prayer, ask whether
27  Unic,  21|  admitting that you are bound to practise mental prayer, and even
28  Unic,  22|      truths, my daughters, is to practise mental prayer. If you wish
29  Unic,  22|          and at the same time to practise vocal prayer, well and good.
30  Unic,  24|        have mentioned who cannot practise recollection or tie down
31  Unic,  24|     right to do so) how you must practise vocal prayer, for it is
32  Unic,  24|          and do not even wish to practise it, but are content with
33  Unic,  24|          troublesome at first to practise recollection of the mind
34  Unic,  26|          such trifling ones now. Practise enduring these and you may

36  Unic,  29|              If she can, let her practise recollection many times
37  Unic,  29|          with God's help, if you practise it for a year, or perhaps
38  Unic,  30|        there are many people who practise vocal prayer in the manner
39  Unic,  30|       know a nun who could never practise anything but vocal prayer
40  Unic,  30|        not endure it. May we all practise such mental prayer as that.
41  Unic,  30|          she did not know how to practise mental prayer, and that
42  Unic,  32|         had quite cold. You must practise simplicity and humility,
43  Unic,  34|    contemplation, which you need practise only if the Lord brings
44  Unic,  34|     repeat it often, that if you practise this habit of staying with
45  Unic,  35|           and afterwards you may practise inward recollection in exactly
