232 Annot, 0, 0 | exercising himself is in the Exercises of the First Week,
233 Annot, 0, 0 | himself is in the Exercises of the First Week, if he is a person
234 Annot, 0, 0 | obstacles to going on in the service of God our Lord,

239 Annot, 0, 0 | explain to him the Rules of the Second Week for the discernment
240 Annot, 0, 0 | Rules of the Second Week for the discernment of spirits.
241 Annot, 0, 0 | Because, as much as those of the First Week will be helpful,
242 Annot, 0, 0 | will be helpful, those of the Second will be harmful to
243 Annot, 0, 0 | Tenth Annotation. The tenth: When he who is giving
244 Annot, 0, 0 | tenth: When he who is giving the Exercises perceives that
245 Annot, 0, 0 | assaulted and tempted under the appearance of good, then
246 Annot, 0, 0 | proper to instruct him about the Rules of the Second Week
247 Annot, 0, 0 | instruct him about the Rules of the Second Week already mentioned.
248 Annot, 0, 0 | mentioned. For, ordinarily, the enemy of human nature tempts
249 Annot, 0, 0 | human nature tempts under the appearance of good rather
250 Annot, 0, 0 | appearance of good rather when the person is exercising himself
251 Annot, 0, 0 | is exercising himself in the Illuminative Life, which
252 Annot, 0, 0 | Life, which corresponds to the Exercises of the Second
253 Annot, 0, 0 | corresponds to the Exercises of the Second Week, and not so
254 Annot, 0, 0 | Week, and not so much in the Purgative Life, which corresponds
255 Annot, 0, 0 | corresponds to those of the First.~
256 Annot, 0, 0 | Eleventh Annotation. The eleventh: It is helpful
257 Annot, 0, 0 | to him who is receiving the Exercises in the First Week,
258 Annot, 0, 0 | receiving the Exercises in the First Week, not to know
259 Annot, 0, 0 | anything of what he is to do in the Second, but so to labor
260 Annot, 0, 0 | Second, but so to labor in the First to attain the object
261 Annot, 0, 0 | labor in the First to attain the object he is seeking as
262 Annot, 0, 0 | did not hope to find in the Second any good.~
263 Annot, 0, 0 | Twelfth Annotation. The twelfth: As he who is receiving
264 Annot, 0, 0 | As he who is receiving the Exercises is to give an
265 Annot, 0, 0 | give an hour to each of the five Exercises or Contemplations
266 Annot, 0, 0 | every day, he who is giving the Exercises has to warn him
267 Annot, 0, 0 | soul remains content in the consciousness of having
268 Annot, 0, 0 | having been a full hour in the Exercise, and rather more
269 Annot, 0, 0 | rather more than less. For the enemy is not a little used
270 Annot, 0, 0 | try and make one cut short the hour of such contemplation,
271 Annot, 0, 0 | Thirteenth Annotation. The thirteenth: It is likewise
272 Annot, 0, 0 | be remarked that, as, in the time of consolation, it
273 Annot, 0, 0 | irksome to be in contemplation the full hour, so it is very
274 Annot, 0, 0 | hour, so it is very hard in the time of desolation to fill
275 Annot, 0, 0 | it out. For this reason, the person who is exercising
276 Annot, 0, 0 | in order to act against the desolation and conquer the
277 Annot, 0, 0 | the desolation and conquer the temptations, ought always
278 Annot, 0, 0 | stay somewhat more than the full hour; so as to accustom
279 Annot, 0, 0 | himself not only to resist the adversary, but even to overthrow
280 Annot, 0, 0 | Fourteenth Annotation. The fourteenth: If he who is
281 Annot, 0, 0 | fourteenth: If he who is giving the Exercises sees that he who
282 Annot, 0, 0 | hasty promise or vow: and the more light of character
283 Annot, 0, 0 | character he knows him to be, the more he ought to warn and
284 Annot, 0, 0 | influence another to embrace the religious life, in which
285 Annot, 0, 0 | should carefully consider the circumstances and personal
286 Annot, 0, 0 | and personal qualities of the individual and how much
287 Annot, 0, 0 | likely to find in fulfilling the thing he would want to promise.~
288 Annot, 0, 0 | Fifteenth Annotation. The fifteenth: He who is giving
289 Annot, 0, 0 | fifteenth: He who is giving the Exercises ought not to influence
290 Annot, 0, 0 | another. For though, outside the Exercises, we can lawfully
291 Annot, 0, 0 | choose continence, virginity, the religious life and all manner
292 Annot, 0, 0 | evangelical perfection, still in the Spiritual Exercises, when
293 Annot, 0, 0 | Exercises, when seeking the Divine Will, it is more
294 Annot, 0, 0 | fitting and much better, that the Creator and Lord Himself
295 Annot, 0, 0 | praise, and disposing it for the way in which it will be
296 Annot, 0, 0 | future. So, he who is giving the Exercises should not turn
297 Annot, 0, 0 | or incline to one side or the other, but standing in the
298 Annot, 0, 0 | the other, but standing in the centre like a balance, leave
299 Annot, 0, 0 | centre like a balance, leave the Creator to act immediately
300 Annot, 0, 0 | to act immediately with the creature, and the creature
301 Annot, 0, 0 | immediately with the creature, and the creature with its Creator
302 Annot, 0, 0 | Sixteenth Annotation. The sixteenth: For this - namely,
303 Annot, 0, 0 | For this - namely, that the Creator and Lord may work
304 Annot, 0, 0 | expedient, if it happens that the soul is attached or inclined
305 Annot, 0, 0 | his strength, to come to the contrary of what he is wrongly
306 Annot, 0, 0 | office or benefice, not for the honor and glory of God our
307 Annot, 0, 0 | of God our Lord, nor for the spiritual well-being of
308 Annot, 0, 0 | to excite his feelings to the contrary, being instant
309 Annot, 0, 0 | asking God our Lord for the contrary, namely, not to
310 Annot, 0, 0 | inclination for him, so that the motive for desiring or having
311 Annot, 0, 0 | thing or another be only the service, honor, and glory
312 Annot, 0, 0 | Seventeenth Annotation. The seventeenth: It is very
313 Annot, 0, 0 | helpful that he who is giving the Exercises, without wanting
314 Annot, 0, 0 | be faithfully informed of the various movements and thoughts
315 Annot, 0, 0 | movements and thoughts which the different spirits put in
316 Annot, 0, 0 | Exercises suited and adapted to the need of such a soul so acted

452 1, GeneralExam, 2 | by the creature than by the Creator, for the following
453 1, GeneralExam, 2 | than by the Creator, for the following reasons.~
454 1, GeneralExam, 2 | First Reason. The first: When we want to swear

456 1, GeneralExam, 2 | circumspect as to telling the truth, or as to affirming
457 1, GeneralExam, 2 | as would wanting to name the Lord and Creator of all
458 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Second Reason. The second is that in swearing

468 1, GeneralExam, 2 | more apt and prepared than the imperfect to show respect
469 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Third Reason. The third is that in continually
470 1, GeneralExam, 2 | continually swearing by the creature, idolatry is to
471 1, GeneralExam, 2 | is to be more feared in the imperfect than in the perfect.~
472 1, GeneralExam, 2 | in the imperfect than in the perfect.~One must not speak
