22 Annot, 0, 0 | feelings: let us remark that, in the acts of the will,
23 Annot, 0, 0 | is not to be understood that each Week has, of necessity,
24 Annot, 0, 0 | days. For, as it happens that in the First Week some are

53 1, Princi, 0 | From this it follows that man is to use them as much
54 1, Princi, 0 | all created things in all that is allowed to the choice

65 1, Examen, 1 | second day with the first; that is, the two Examens of the
66 1, Examen, 1 | Note. It is to be noted that the first (large) G - which
67 1, GeneralExam, 0 | I presuppose that there are three kinds of
68 1, GeneralExam, 0 | kinds of thoughts in me: that is, one my own, which springs
69 1, GeneralExam, 1 | way of meriting is: When that same bad thought comes to
70 1, GeneralExam, 1 | sinning mortally is when that sin is put in act.~This
71 1, GeneralExam, 2 | reverence due.~It is to be noted that, though in an idle oath
72 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Second Reason. The second is that in swearing by the creature
73 1, GeneralExam, 2 | meditate and contemplate more that God our Lord is in every
74 1, GeneralExam, 2 | Third Reason. The third is that in continually swearing
75 1, GeneralExam, 2 | and is not directed to that intention. Hence words spoken
76 1, GeneralExam, 2 | articles of trade; but in all that is said there is merit in
77 1, GeneralExam, 2 | if I reveal a mortal sin that is not public, I sin mortally;
78 1, GeneralExam, 2 | revealed to some person that he may help to raise him
79 1, GeneralExam, 2 | sin - supposing, however, that he has some probable conjectures
80 1, GeneralExam, 2 | or grounds for thinking that he will be able to help
81 1, GeneralExam, 4 | of our soul from the hour that we rose up to the present
82 1, 1Exercise, 0 | ask grace of God our Lord that all my intentions, actions

84 1, 1Exercise, 0 | imagination and consider that my soul is imprisoned in
85 1, 1Exercise, 0 | according to the subject matter; that is, if the contemplation
86 1, 1Exercise, 0 | the First Sin, which was that of the Angels, and then
87 1, 1Exercise, 0 | second is to do the same - that is, to bring the Three Powers -
88 1, 1Exercise, 0 | memory how on account of that sin they did penance for
89 1, 1Exercise, 0 | to memory the Second Sin, that of our First Parents; how
90 1, 1Exercise, 0 | on the Cross, to go over that which will present itself.~
91 1, 2Exercise, 0 | the statement of the sins; that is to say, to bring to memory
92 1, 2Exercise, 0 | giving thanks to God our Lord that He has given me life up
93 1, 3Exercise, 0 | first Colloquy to Our Lady, that she may get me grace from
94 1, 3Exercise, 0 | for three things: first, that I may feel an interior knowledge
95 1, 3Exercise, 0 | hatred of them; second, that I may feel the disorder
96 1, 3Exercise, 0 | disorder of my actions, so that, hating them, I may correct
97 1, 3Exercise, 0 | knowledge of the world, in order that, hating it, I may put away
98 1, 3Exercise, 0 | and vain things.~And with that a HAIL MARY.~
99 1, 3Exercise, 0 | from the Father.~And with that the SOUL OF CHRIST.~
100 1, 3Exercise, 0 | The same to the Father, that the Eternal Lord Himself
101 1, 3Exercise, 0 | grant it to me.~And with that an OUR FATHER.~
102 1, 4Exercise, 0 | I said a summary, that the understanding, without
103 1, 5Exercise, 0 | damned suffer, in order that, if, through my faults,
104 1, 5Exercise, 0 | to touch with the touch; that is to say, how the fires
105 1, 5Exercise, 0 | bring to memory the souls that are in Hell, some because
106 1, 5Exercise, 0 | this I will give Him thanks that He has not let me fall into
107 1, Additions, 0 | a HAIL MARY, of the hour that I have to rise and for what,
108 1, Additions, 0 | great sinner and in chains; that is to say going to appear
109 1, Additions, 0 | two things. The first is, that if I find what I want kneeling,
110 1, Additions, 0 | sins: but to keep before me that I want to grieve and feel
111 1, Additions, 0 | The first is as to eating. That is to say, when we leave
112 1, Additions, 0 | greater and better - provided that the person does not injure
113 1, Additions, 0 | not injure himself, and that no notable illness follows.~
114 1, Additions, 0 | more, the better - provided that the person does not injure
115 1, Additions, 0 | to chastise the flesh, that is, giving it sensible pain,
116 1, Additions, 0 | with regard to penance is that the pain should be sensible
117 1, Additions, 0 | enter within the bones, so that it give pain and not illness.
118 1, Additions, 0 | Note. The first Note is that the exterior penances are
119 1, Additions, 0 | Second, to conquer oneself - that is, to make sensuality obey
120 1, Additions, 0 | second: It is to be noted that the first and second Addition
121 1, Additions, 0 | ways of doing penance, so that he change himself, doing
122 1, Additions, 0 | from an erroneous judgment that the human system will not
123 1, Additions, 0 | we do too much, thinking that the body can bear it; and
124 2, TemporalKing, 1 | to ask grace of our Lord that I may not be deaf to His
125 2, TemporalKing, 1 | watch in the night, etc., that so afterwards he may have
126 2, TemporalKing, 2 | Me is to labor with Me, that following Me in the pain,
127 2, TemporalKing, 2 | The second, to consider that all those who have judgment
128 2, TemporalKing, 2 | Saints of the heavenly Court; that I want and desire, and it
129 2, 1Day, 0 | of men, and how, seeing that all were going down to Hell,
130 2, 1Day, 0 | determined in Their Eternity, 7 that the Second Person shall
131 2, 1Day, 0 | Who for me has become man, that I may more love and follow
132 2, 1Day, 0 | It is well to note here that this same Preparatory Prayer,
133 2, 1Day, 0 | of the earth are saying, that is, how they are talking
134 2, 1Day, 0 | Divine Persons are saying, that is: "Let Us work the redemption
135 2, 2Contemplat, 0 | Point is to see the persons; that is, to see Our Lady and
136 2, 2Contemplat, 0 | a journey and laboring, that the Lord may be born in
137 2, 2Contemplat, 0 | injuries and affronts - that He may die on the Cross;
138 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | the other following Weeks, that I have only to read the
139 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | immediately to make, so that at any time I read no Mystery
140 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | which I have not to make that day or at that hour, in
141 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | not to make that day or at that hour, in order that the
142 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | or at that hour, in order that the consideration of one
143 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | third: It is to be remarked that if the person who is making
144 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | contemplating.~The seventh will be, that one should manage as to
145 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | bad, according as he feels that it can profit and help him
146 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | the Exercises, except in that of midnight and in that
147 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | that of midnight and in that of the morning, the equivalent
148 2, 5Contemplat, 0 | Immediately on recollecting that it is the time of the Exercise
149 2, Preamble, 0 | for the second, - which is that of evangelical perfection, -
150 2, Preamble, 0 | Lord, and, on the contrary, that of the enemy of human nature,
151 2, 4Day, 0 | see a great field of all that region of Jerusalem, where
152 2, 4Day, 0 | enemy seated himself in that great field of Babylon,
153 2, 4Day, 0 | cast out nets and chains; that they have first to tempt
154 2, 4Day, 0 | to do in most cases12 - that men may more easily come
155 2, 4Day, 0 | and then to vast pride. So that the first step shall be
156 2, 4Day, 0 | the first step shall be that of riches; the second, that
157 2, 4Day, 0 | that of riches; the second, that of honor; the third, that
158 2, 4Day, 0 | that of honor; the third, that of pride; and from these
159 2, 4Day, 0 | Himself in a great field of that region of Jerusalem, in
160 2, 4Day, 0 | things humility follows. So that there are to be three steps;
161 2, 4Day, 0 | One Colloquy to Our Lady, that she may get me grace from
162 2, 4Day, 0 | grace from Her Son and Lord that I may be received under
163 2, 4Day, 0 | Divine Majesty; and with that a HAIL MARY.~
164 2, 4Day, 0 | ask the same of the Son, that He may get it for me of
165 2, 4Day, 0 | of the Father; and with that say the SOUL OF CHRIST.~
166 2, 4Day, 0 | the same of the Father, that He may grant it to me; and
167 2, 4Day, 0 | and to the Father; and that on The Pairs which follows,
168 2, SameFourth, 0 | with the thing acquired, so that God should come where they
169 2, SameFourth, 0 | to rid themselves of it that they have even no liking
170 2, SameFourth, 0 | meanwhile they want to reckon that they quit it all in attachment,
171 2, SameFourth, 0 | forcing themselves not to want that or any other thing, unless
172 2, SameFourth, 0 | God our Lord move them: so that the desire of being better
173 2, SameFourth, 0 | Note. It is to be noted that when we feel a tendency
174 2, SameFourth, 0 | it be against the flesh) that the Lord should choose one
175 2, SameFourth, 0 | one to actual poverty, and that one wants, asks and begs
176 2, 5Day, 0 | day; and so in the days that follow.~
177 2, 12Day, 0 | Note. The first note is that in the Contemplations of
178 2, 12Day, 0 | entering on the Elections, that a man may get attachment
179 2, 12Day, 0 | eternal salvation; namely, that I so lower and so humble
180 2, 12Day, 0 | much as is possible to me, that in everything I obey the
181 2, 12Day, 0 | obey the law of God, so that, even if they made me lord
182 2, 12Day, 0 | find myself at such a stage that I do not want, and feel
183 2, 12Day, 0 | Colloquies of THE PAIRS, asking that Our Lord would be pleased
184 2, Prelude, 0 | to choose whatever I do, that it may help me for the end
185 2, Prelude, 0 | to the end: as it happens that many choose first to marry -
186 2, Prelude, 0 | to serve God in them. So that those do not go straight
187 2, Prelude, 0 | an end of the means. So that what they had to take first,
188 2, Election, 0 | first Point: It is necessary that everything about which we
189 2, Election, 0 | which fall under an election that can be changed, such as
190 2, Election, 0 | only it is to be seen to that if one have not made his
191 2, Election, 0 | election. It does not appear that this election is a Divine
192 2, Election, 0(15) | It does not appear that this election is a Divine
193 2, Election, 0(15) | correcting we can not say that this election is His vocation. ~
194 2, Election, 0 | which are under election that can be changed, and has
195 2, Election, 0 | himself as much as he can in that already chosen.~
196 2, Election, 0 | Note. It is to be remarked that if such election that can
197 2, Election, 0 | remarked that if such election that can be changed was not made
198 2, Election, 0 | duly, if one has a desire that fruits notable and very
199 2, GoodElection, 0 | moves and attracts the will, that without doubting, or being
200 2, GoodElection, 0 | of the Church, in order that he may be helped in the
201 2, 1Way, 0 | falls under an election that can be changed.~
202 2, 1Way, 0 | inordinate propensity; so that I be not more inclined or
203 2, 1Way, 0 | same in the second part, that is, looking at the advantages
204 2, 1Way, 0 | offer Him such election, that His Divine Majesty may be
205 2, 2Way, 0 | First Rule. The first is that that love which moves me
206 2, 2Way, 0 | Rule. The first is that that love which moves me and
207 2, 2Way, 0 | from the love of God, so that he who chooses feel first
208 2, 2Way, 0 | chooses feel first in himself that that love, more or less,
209 2, 2Way, 0 | feel first in himself that that love, more or less, which
210 2, 2Way, 0 | and regulating myself by that election, let me make my
211 2, 2Way, 0 | wish to have kept, in order that I may then find myself in
212 2, Amend, 0 | It is to be noted that as to those who are settled
213 2, Amend, 0 | which fall under an election that can be changed, it is very
214 2, Amend, 0 | his own life and state. That is, putting his creation,
215 2, Amend, 0 | For let each one think that he will benefit himself
216 3, 1Day, 0 | The fourth, to consider that which Christ our Lord is
217 3, 1Day, 0 | the Divinity hides Itself, that is, how It could destroy
218 3, 1Day, 0 | explained before and in part, that in the Colloquies I ought
219 3, 1Day, 0 | according to the subject matter, that is, according as I find
220 3, 1Day, 0 | contemplating; in fine, asking that which I more efficaciously
221 3, 2Day, 0 | senses one will consider all that day, as frequently as he
222 3, 2Day, 0 | Note. It is to be noted that whoever wants to dwell more
223 3, 2Day, 0 | Contemplation fewer Mysteries; that is to say, in the first
224 3, 2Day, 0 | the house of Pilate; so that, not making repetitions,
225 3, 2Day, 0 | as it will seem to him that he will be better able to
226 3, RulesOneself, 0 | Rule. The first rule is that it is well to abstain less
227 3, RulesOneself, 0 | see to imitating Him. So that the principal part of the
228 3, RulesOneself, 0 | quantity which it is suitable that he should eat. Beyond this
229 4, 1Contemplat, 0 | Week of the Passion. So that, for this first Contemplation,
230 4, 1Contemplat, 0 | memory and think of things that move to spiritual pleasure,
231 4, 1Contemplat, 0 | soul thinks or conjectures that it can help it to be joyful
232 Contem, 0, 0 | two things: the first is that love ought to be put more
233 Contem, 0, 0 | between the two parties; that is to say in the lover's
234 Contem, 0, 0 | beloved to the lover. So that if the one has knowledge,
235 Contem, 0, 0 | good received, in order that being entirely grateful,
236 Contem, 0, 0 | give to His Divine Majesty, that is to say, everything that
237 Contem, 0, 0 | that is to say, everything that is mine, and myself with
238 Contem, 0, 0 | intellect, and all my will - all that I have and possess. Thou
239 Contem, 0, 0 | the face of the earth - that is, behaves like one who
240 Method, 1Method, 0 | and benefit in them, and that the prayer may be acceptable,
241 Method, 1Method, 1 | the SECOND WEEK be made; that is, before entering on the
242 Method, 1Method, 1 | ask grace of God our Lord that I may be able to know in
243 Method, 1Method, 1 | Note. It is to be noted that when one comes to think
244 Method, 1Method, 1 | as one finds in himself that he stumbles more or less
245 Method, 1Method, 1 | stumbles more or less on that Commandment so he ought
246 Method, 1Method, 2 | only with the difference that the matter here is of sins
247 Method, 1Method, 2 | the matter here is of sins that have to be avoided, and
248 Method, 1Method, 2 | and before of Commandments that have to be kept: and likewise
249 Method, 1Method, 4 | recommend himself to her, that she may get him grace from
250 Method, 2Method, 0 | Second Method of Prayer is that the person, kneeling or
251 Method, 2Method, 0 | Rule. The first Rule is that he will be an hour on the
252 Method, 2Method, 0 | Rule. The Second Rule is that, should the person who is
253 Method, 2Method, 0 | Third Rule. The third is that if on one word or two of
254 Method, 2Method, 0 | Note. It is to be noted that, the OUR FATHER finished,
255 Method, 2Method, 0 | with the other prayers, so that for some time one is always
256 Method, 2Method, 0 | Note. The second note is that, the prayer finished, turning,
257 Method, 3Method, 0 | Third Method of Prayer is that with each breath in or out,
258 Method, 3Method, 0 | which is being recited: so that only one word be said between
259 Method, 3Method, 0 | and the other prayers, that is to say, the HAIL MARY,
260 Method, 3Method, 0 | day, or at another hour, that he wants to pray, let him
261 Method, 3Method, 0 | Second Rule. The second is that whoever wants to dwell more
262 Mister, 0, 0 | the following Mysteries, that all the words which are
263 Annunc, 0, 0 | Point. The first Point is that the Angel St. Gabriel, saluting
264 Annunc, MagiKings, 0 | received answer while sleeping that they should not return to
265 Annunc, Purification, 0 | Child Jesus to the Temple, that He may be presented to the
266 Annunc, Purification, 0 | and spoke of Him to all that were hoping for the redemption
267 Annunc, LifeOfChrist, 0 | Point. Second: It appears that24 He exercised the trade
268 Annunc, LifeOfChrist, 0(24)| It appears that is in the Saint's handwriting,

275 Annunc, SermonMount, 0 | light shine before men, that they may see your good works
276 Annunc, SermonMount, 0 | enemies. "'I say to you that you love your enemies and
277 Annunc, SermonMount, 0 | enemies and do good to them that hate you.'"~
278 Annunc, Eat, 0 | Christ our Lord commands that they bring Him bread, and
279 Annunc, Eat, 0 | Him bread, and commanded that they should be seated at
280 Annunc, Transfigurat, 0 | Third: St. Peter saying that they would make three tabernacles,
281 Annunc, Lazarus, 0 | He delayed for two days, that the miracle might be more
