564 2, Preamble, 0 | God our Lord would give us to choose.~
565 2, 4Day, 0 | the place. It will be here to see a great field of all
566 2, 4Day, 0 | Third Prelude. The third, to ask for what I want: and
567 2, 4Day, 0 | want: and it will be here to ask for knowledge of the
568 2, 4Day, 0 | of the bad chief and help to guard myself against them,
569 2, 4Day, 0 | Captain shows and grace to imitate Him.~
570 2, 4Day, 0 | Point. The first Point is to imagine as if the chief
571 2, 4Day, 0 | Second Point. The second, to consider how he issues a
572 2, 4Day, 0 | how he issues a summons to innumerable demons and how
573 2, 4Day, 0 | how he scatters them, some to one city and others to another,
574 2, 4Day, 0 | some to one city and others to another, and so through
575 2, 4Day, 0 | Third Point. The third, to consider the discourse which
576 2, 4Day, 0 | them, and how he tells them to cast out nets and chains;
577 2, 4Day, 0 | chains; that they have first to tempt with a longing for
578 2, 4Day, 0 | riches - as he is accustomed to do in most cases12 - that
579 2, 4Day, 0 | men may more easily come to vain honor of the world,
580 2, 4Day, 0 | honor of the world, and then to vast pride. So that the
581 2, 4Day, 0 | three steps he draws on to all the other vices.~So,
582 2, 4Day, 0 | on the contrary, one has to imagine as to the supreme
583 2, 4Day, 0 | contrary, one has to imagine as to the supreme and true Captain,
584 2, 4Day, 0(12) | As he is accustomed to do in most cases is inserted
585 2, 4Day, 0 | Point. The first Point is to consider how Christ our
586 2, 4Day, 0 | Second Point. The second, to consider how the Lord of
587 2, 4Day, 0 | Third Point. The third, to consider the discourse which
588 2, 4Day, 0 | which Christ our Lord makes to all His servants and friends
589 2, 4Day, 0 | expedition, recommending them to want to help all, by bringing
590 2, 4Day, 0 | recommending them to want to help all, by bringing them
591 2, 4Day, 0 | by bringing them first to the highest spiritual poverty,
592 2, 4Day, 0 | be served and would want to choose them - no less to
593 2, 4Day, 0 | to choose them - no less to actual poverty; the second
594 2, 4Day, 0 | actual poverty; the second is to be of contumely and contempt;
595 2, 4Day, 0 | follows. So that there are to be three steps; the first,
596 2, 4Day, 0 | three steps let them induce to all the other virtues.~
597 2, 4Day, 0 | First Colloquy. One Colloquy to Our Lady, that she may get
598 2, 4Day, 0 | be served and would want to choose and receive me -
599 2, 4Day, 0 | contumely and injuries, to imitate Him more in them,
600 2, 4Day, 0 | Father, that He may grant it to me; and say an OUR FATHER.~
601 2, 4Day, 0 | with the three Colloquies, to Our Lady, to the Son, and
602 2, 4Day, 0 | Colloquies, to Our Lady, to the Son, and to the Father;
603 2, 4Day, 0 | Our Lady, to the Son, and to the Father; and that on
604 2, SameFourth | THREE PAIRS OF MEN IN ORDER TO EMBRACE WHAT IS BEST~
605 2, SameFourth, 0 | God's love, and all want to save themselves and find
606 2, SameFourth, 0 | the weight and hindrance to it which they have in the
607 2, SameFourth, 0 | the place. It will be here to see myself, how I stand
608 2, SameFourth, 0 | Lord and all His Saints, to desire and know what is
609 2, SameFourth, 0 | know what is more pleasing to His Divine Goodness.~
610 2, SameFourth, 0 | Third Prelude. The third, to ask for what I want. Here
611 2, SameFourth, 0 | I want. Here it will be to ask grace to choose what
612 2, SameFourth, 0 | it will be to ask grace to choose what is more to the
613 2, SameFourth, 0 | grace to choose what is more to the glory of His Divine
614 2, SameFourth, 0 | The first Pair would want to rid themselves of the attachment
615 2, SameFourth, 0 | attachment which they have to the thing acquired, in order
616 2, SameFourth, 0 | thing acquired, in order to find in peace God our Lord,
617 2, SameFourth, 0 | God our Lord, and be able to save themselves, and they
618 2, SameFourth, 0 | do not place the means up to the hour of death.~
619 2, SameFourth, 0 | Second Pair. The second want to rid themselves of the attachment,
620 2, SameFourth, 0 | attachment, but want so to rid themselves of it as
621 2, SameFourth, 0 | rid themselves of it as to remain with the thing acquired,
622 2, SameFourth, 0 | and they do not decide to leave it in order to go
623 2, SameFourth, 0 | decide to leave it in order to go to God, although it would
624 2, SameFourth, 0 | leave it in order to go to God, although it would be
625 2, SameFourth, 0 | Third Pair. The third want to rid themselves of the attachment,
626 2, SameFourth, 0 | attachment, but want so to rid themselves of it that
627 2, SameFourth, 0 | have even no liking for it, to keep the thing acquired
628 2, SameFourth, 0 | the thing acquired or not to keep it, but only want to
629 2, SameFourth, 0 | to keep it, but only want to want it or not want it according
630 2, SameFourth, 0 | will and as will appear to them better for the service
631 2, SameFourth, 0 | and meanwhile they want to reckon that they quit it
632 2, SameFourth, 0 | forcing themselves not to want that or any other thing,
633 2, SameFourth, 0 | desire of being better able to serve God our Lord moves
634 2, SameFourth, 0 | God our Lord moves them to take the thing or leave
635 2, SameFourth, 0 | Note. It is to be noted that when we feel
636 2, SameFourth, 0 | when we are not indifferent to poverty or riches, it is
637 2, SameFourth, 0 | is very helpful, in order to crush such disordered tendency,
638 2, SameFourth, 0 | such disordered tendency, to ask in the Colloquies (although
639 2, SameFourth, 0 | the Lord should choose one to actual poverty, and that
640 2, 5Day, 0 | Christ our Lord from Nazareth to the River Jordan, and how
641 2, 5Day, 0 | three Pairs, or according to the note which follows after
642 2, 6Day, 0 | forth from the River Jordan to the Desert inclusive, taking
643 2, 9Day, 0 | Christ our Lord appeared to His disciples on the waves
644 2, 12Day, 0 | this Second Week, according to the time each one wants
645 2, 12Day, 0 | the time each one wants to spend, or according as he
646 2, 12Day, 0 | the Visitation of Our Lady to St. Elizabeth, the Shepherds,
647 2, 12Day, 0 | set down. Because this is to give an introduction and
648 2, 12Day, 0 | an introduction and way to contemplate better and more
649 2, 12Day, 0 | Contemplation on Nazareth to the Jordan, taken inclusively,
650 2, 12Day, 0 | a man may get attachment to the true doctrine of Christ
651 2, 12Day, 0 | Lord, it is very helpful to consider and mark the following
652 2, 12Day, 0 | as much as is possible to me, that in everything I
653 2, 12Day, 0 | and feel no inclination to have, riches rather than
654 2, 12Day, 0 | riches rather than poverty, to want honor rather than dishonor,
655 2, 12Day, 0 | honor rather than dishonor, to desire a long rather than
656 2, 12Day, 0 | Majesty being equal - in order to imitate and be more actually
657 2, 12Day, 0 | rather than honors; and to desire to be rated as worthless
658 2, 12Day, 0 | than honors; and to desire to be rated as worthless and
659 2, 12Day, 0 | helpful for whoever desires to get this third Humility,
660 2, 12Day, 0 | get this third Humility, to make the three already mentioned
661 2, 12Day, 0 | Our Lord would be pleased to choose him to this third
662 2, 12Day, 0 | be pleased to choose him to this third greater and better
663 2, 12Day, 0 | Humility, in order more to imitate and serve Him, if
664 2, 12Day, 0 | greater service and praise to His Divine Majesty.~
665 2, Prelude, 0 | eye of our intention ought to be simple, only looking
666 2, Prelude, 0 | our soul. And so I ought to choose whatever I do, that
667 2, Prelude, 0 | ordering or bringing the end to the means, but the means
668 2, Prelude, 0 | the means, but the means to the end: as it happens that
669 2, Prelude, 0 | happens that many choose first to marry - which is a means -
670 2, Prelude, 0 | means - and secondarily to serve God our Lord in the
671 2, Prelude, 0 | are others who first want to have benefices, and then
672 2, Prelude, 0 | have benefices, and then to serve God in them. So that
673 2, Prelude, 0 | those do not go straight to God, but want God to come
674 2, Prelude, 0 | straight to God, but want God to come straight to their disordered
675 2, Prelude, 0 | want God to come straight to their disordered tendencies,
676 2, Prelude, 0 | means. So that what they had to take first, they take last;
677 2, Prelude, 0 | last; because first we have to set as our aim the wanting
678 2, Prelude, 0 | set as our aim the wanting to serve God, - which is the
679 2, Prelude, 0 | end, - and secondarily, to take a benefice, or to marry,
680 2, Prelude, 0 | to take a benefice, or to marry, if it is more suitable
681 2, Prelude, 0 | if it is more suitable to us, - which is the means
682 2, Prelude, 0 | the end. So, nothing ought to move me to take such means
683 2, Prelude, 0 | nothing ought to move me to take such means or to deprive
684 2, Prelude, 0 | me to take such means or to deprive myself of them,
685 2, Election | TO GET KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT
686 2, Election | TO GET KNOWLEDGE AS TO WHAT MATTERS AN ELECTION
687 2, Election | MATTERS AN ELECTION OUGHT TO BE MADE ABOUT, AND IT CONTAINS
688 2, Election, 0 | everything about which we want to make an election should

690 2, Election, 0 | be changed, such as are to take benefices or leave
691 2, Election, 0 | benefices or leave them, to take temporal goods or rid
692 2, Election, 0 | there is nothing more to choose, because one cannot
693 2, Election, 0 | release himself; only it is to be seen to that if one have
694 2, Election, 0 | himself; only it is to be seen to that if one have not made
695 2, Election, 0 | tendencies, repenting let him see to living a good life in his
696 2, Election, 0 | changed, and has not yielded to flesh or world, there is
697 2, Election, 0 | Note. It is to be remarked that if such
698 2, Election, 0 | in order, then it helps to make the election duly,
699 2, Election, 0 | notable and very pleasing to God our Lord should come
700 2, GoodElection, 0| doubting, or being able to doubt, such devout soul
701 2, GoodElection, 0| what man is born - namely, to praise God our Lord and
702 2, GoodElection, 0| time, two ways follow as to this third time for making
703 2, 1Way | THE FIRST WAY TO MAKE A SOUND AND GOOD ELECTION~
704 2, 1Way, 0 | Point. The first Point is to put before me the thing
705 2, 1Way, 0 | the thing on which I want to make election, such as an
706 2, 1Way, 0 | office or benefice, either to take or leave it; or any
707 2, 1Way, 0 | Second: It is necessary to keep as aim the end for
708 2, 1Way, 0 | which I am created, which is to praise God our Lord and
709 2, 1Way, 0 | soul, and, this supposed, to find myself indifferent,
710 2, 1Way, 0 | more inclined or disposed to take the thing proposed
711 2, 1Way, 0 | the thing proposed than to leave it, nor more to leave
712 2, 1Way, 0 | than to leave it, nor more to leave it than to take it,
713 2, 1Way, 0 | nor more to leave it than to take it, but find myself
714 2, 1Way, 0 | the middle of a balance, to follow what I feel to be
715 2, 1Way, 0 | balance, to follow what I feel to be more for the glory and
716 2, 1Way, 0 | Third Point. Third: To ask of God our Lord to be
717 2, 1Way, 0 | To ask of God our Lord to be pleased to move my will
718 2, 1Way, 0 | God our Lord to be pleased to move my will and put in
719 2, 1Way, 0 | in my soul what I ought to do regarding the thing proposed,
720 2, 1Way, 0 | the thing proposed, so as to promote more His praise
721 2, 1Way, 0 | and choosing agreeably to His most holy pleasure and
722 2, 1Way, 0 | Fourth Point. Fourth: To consider, reckoning up,
723 2, 1Way, 0 | salvation of my soul, and, to consider likewise, on the
724 2, 1Way, 0 | about the thing proposed, to look where reason more inclines:
725 2, 1Way, 0 | inclines: and so, according to the greater inclination
726 2, 1Way, 0 | reason, and not according to any inclination of sense,
727 2, 1Way, 0 | person who has made it ought to go with much diligence to
728 2, 1Way, 0 | to go with much diligence to prayer before God our Lord
729 2, 1Way, 0 | Divine Majesty may be pleased to receive and confirm it,
730 2, 1Way, 0 | and confirm it, if it is to His greater service and
731 2, 2Way | THE SECOND WAY TO MAKE A GOOD ANY SOUND ELECTION~
732 2, 2Way, 0 | Second Rule. The second, to set before me a man whom
733 2, 2Way, 0 | desiring all his perfection, to consider what I would tell
734 2, 2Way, 0 | consider what I would tell him to do and elect for the greater
735 2, 2Way, 0 | and I, doing likewise, to keep the rule which I set
736 2, 2Way, 0 | Third Rule. The third, to consider, as if I were at
737 2, 2Way, 0 | which I would then want to have kept in the way of
738 2, 2Way, 0 | on the Day of Judgment, to think how I would then want
739 2, 2Way, 0 | think how I would then want to have18 deliberated about
740 2, 2Way, 0 | the present matter, and to take now the rule which
741 2, 2Way, 0 | which I would then wish to have kept, in order that
