112 Annot, 0, 0 | thirteenth: It is likewise to be remarked that, as, in
113 Annot, 0, 0 | is easy and not irksome to be in contemplation the
114 Annot, 0, 0 | in the time of desolation to fill it out. For this reason,
115 Annot, 0, 0 | exercising himself, in order to act against the desolation
116 Annot, 0, 0 | temptations, ought always to stay somewhat more than
117 Annot, 0, 0 | than the full hour; so as to accustom himself not only

119 Annot, 0, 0 | the adversary, but even to overthrow him.~
120 Annot, 0, 0 | with much fervor, he ought to warn him not to make any
121 Annot, 0, 0 | he ought to warn him not to make any inconsiderate and
122 Annot, 0, 0 | of character he knows him to be, the more he ought to

133 Annot, 0, 0 | state or way of life than to another. For though, outside
134 Annot, 0, 0 | one who is probably fit to choose continence, virginity,
135 Annot, 0, 0 | should communicate Himself to His devout soul, inflaming
136 Annot, 0, 0 | which it will be better able to serve Him in future. So,
137 Annot, 0, 0 | should not turn or incline to one side or the other, but

295 1, 1Exercise, 0 | sometimes changed, according to the subject matter.~
296 1, 1Exercise, 0 | The first Point will be to bring the memory on the
297 1, 1Exercise, 0 | of the Angels, and then to bring the intellect on the
298 1, 1Exercise, 0 | then the will, wanting to recall and understand all
299 1, 1Exercise, 0 | understand all this in order to make me more ashamed and
