117 1, Examen, 0 | The second time is after dinner, when one is
118 1, Examen, 0 | is after dinner, when one is to ask of God our Lord what
119 1, Examen, 1 | Addition. The first Addition is that each time one falls
120 1, Examen, 1 | their perceiving what he is doing.~
121 1, Examen, 1 | him look at night if there is amendment from the first
122 1, Examen, 1 | line to the second, that is, from the first Examen to
123 1, Examen, 1 | day with the first; that is, the two Examens of the
124 1, Examen, 1 | Note. It is to be noted that the first (
125 1, GeneralExam, 0 | of thoughts in me: that is, one my own, which springs
126 1, GeneralExam, 1 | The second way of meriting is: When that same bad thought
127 1, GeneralExam, 1 | always resist, until it is conquered.~This second way
128 1, GeneralExam, 1 | conquered.~This second way is more meritorious than the
129 1, GeneralExam, 1 | the first.~A venial sin is committed when the same
130 1, GeneralExam, 1 | pleasure, or when there is some negligence in rejecting
131 1, GeneralExam, 1 | First Way. The first is, when one gives consent
132 1, GeneralExam, 1 | way of sinning mortally is when that sin is put in
133 1, GeneralExam, 1 | mortally is when that sin is put in act.~This is a greater
134 1, GeneralExam, 1 | sin is put in act.~This is a greater sin for three
135 1, GeneralExam, 2 | when any truth whatever is affirmed with oath, but
136 1, GeneralExam, 2 | affirmed with oath, but when it is of some importance for the
137 1, GeneralExam, 2 | honor and reverence due.~It is to be noted that, though
138 1, GeneralExam, 2 | than by the creature, it is more difficult to swear
139 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Second Reason. The second is that in swearing by the
140 1, GeneralExam, 2 | swearing by the creature it is not so easy to show reverence
141 1, GeneralExam, 2 | swearing by the creature is more allowable to the perfect
142 1, GeneralExam, 2 | contemplate more that God our Lord is in every creature, according
143 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Third Reason. The third is that in continually swearing
144 1, GeneralExam, 2 | by the creature, idolatry is to be more feared in the
145 1, GeneralExam, 2 | either me or another, and is not directed to that intention.

148 1, GeneralExam, 2 | reveal a mortal sin that is not public, I sin mortally;
149 1, GeneralExam, 2 | own.~But if the intention is right, in two ways one can
150 1, GeneralExam, 2 | The first: When the sin is public, as in the case of
151 1, GeneralExam, 2 | of a public error which is infecting the souls with
152 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Second: When the hidden sin is revealed to some person
153 1, GeneralExam, 2 | may help to raise him who is in sin - supposing, however,
154 1, GeneralExam, 3 | any of these three heads is, according to its greater
155 1, GeneralExam, 4 | First Point. The first Point is to give thanks to God our
156 1, Confession, 0 | to Confession every year is not obliged to make a General
157 1, Confession, 0 | Confession, by making it there is greater profit and merit,
158 1, Confession, 0 | Third. The third is: In consequence, having

169 1, 1Exercise, 0 | the subject matter; that is, if the contemplation is
170 1, 1Exercise, 0 | is, if the contemplation is on the Resurrection, one
171 1, 1Exercise, 0 | on the Resurrection, one is to ask for joy with Christ
172 1, 1Exercise, 0 | with Christ in joy; if it is on the Passion, he is to
173 1, 1Exercise, 0 | it is on the Passion, he is to ask for pain, tears and
174 1, 1Exercise, 0 | Preparatory Prayer, which is not changed, and the two

221 2, TemporalKing, 1 | First Point. The first Point is, to put before me a human
222 2, TemporalKing, 1 | his people, saying: "It is my Will to conquer all the
223 2, TemporalKing, 1 | would like to come with me is to be content to eat as
224 2, TemporalKing, 1 | etc., as I: likewise he is to labor like me6 in the
225 2, TemporalKing, 1(6) | It is doubtful whether these words
226 2, TemporalKing, 2 | worthy of consideration is it to see Christ our Lord,
227 2, TemporalKing, 2 | He calls, and says: "It is My will to conquer all the
228 2, TemporalKing, 2 | would like to come with Me is to labor with Me, that following
229 2, TemporalKing, 2 | want and desire, and it is my deliberate determination,

250 2, 2Contemplat, 0(10) | correcting the inn, which is crossed out. ~
251 2, 2Contemplat, 0 | First Point. The first Point is to see the persons; that
252 2, 2Contemplat, 0 | to see the persons; that is, to see Our Lady and Joseph
253 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | and the three Preludes, it is helpful to pass the five
254 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | First Point. The first Point is to see the persons with
255 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | according to the person who is being contemplated; reflecting
256 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | First Note. The first note is to remark for all this and
257 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | Third Note. The third: It is to be remarked that if the
258 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | remarked that if the person who is making the Exercises is
259 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | is making the Exercises is old or weak, or, although
260 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | from the First Week, it is better for him in this Second
261 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | what the person desires who is exercising himself.~And
262 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | the tenth Addition, he who is exercising himself ought

270 2, 4Day, 0 | where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.~
271 2, 4Day, 0 | First Point. The first Point is to imagine as if the chief
272 2, 4Day, 0(11) | Great is inserted, perhaps in. the
273 2, 4Day, 0 | longing for riches - as he is accustomed to do in most
274 2, 4Day, 0 | supreme and true Captain, Who is Christ our Lord.~

285 2, SameFourth, 0 | to desire and know what is more pleasing to His Divine
286 2, SameFourth, 0 | ask grace to choose what is more to the glory of His
287 2, SameFourth, 0 | Note. It is to be noted that when we

290 2, 10Day, 0(14) | In the is in the Saint's hand, over
291 2, 12Day, 0 | First Note. The first note is that in the Contemplations
292 2, 12Day, 0 | are set down. Because this is to give an introduction
293 2, 12Day, 0 | taken inclusively, which is the fifth day, as is explained
294 2, 12Day, 0 | which is the fifth day, as is explained in the following.~
295 2, 12Day, 0 | doctrine of Christ our Lord, it is very helpful to consider
296 2, 12Day, 0 | first manner of Humility is necessary for eternal salvation;
297 2, 12Day, 0 | humble myself, as much as is possible to me, that in
298 2, 12Day, 0 | Second Humility. The second is more perfect Humility than
299 2, 12Day, 0 | Third Humility. The third is most perfect Humility; namely,
300 2, 12Day, 0 | Note. So, it is very helpful for whoever
