261 Annunc, WalkOnSea, 0 | Christ saying to them: "'It is I, fear not,'" St. Peter,

274 Rules, Receive, 0 | service of God our Lord, it is the method contrary to
275 Rules, Receive, 0 | the first Rule, for then it is the way of the evil spirit
276 Rules, Receive, 0 | that one may not go on; and it is proper to the good to
277 Rules, Receive, 0 | SPIRITUAL CONSOLATION. I call it consolation when some interior
278 Rules, Receive, 0 | Creator and Lord; and when it can in consequence love
279 Rules, Receive, 0 | them all.~Likewise, when it sheds tears that move to

292 Rules, 2Week, 0 | First Rule. The first: It is proper to God and to
293 Rules, 2Week, 0 | brings on. Of this latter it is proper to fight against
294 Rules, 2Week, 0 | Second Rule. The second: It belongs to God our Lord
295 Rules, 2Week, 0 | without preceding cause, for it is the property of the Creator
296 Rules, 2Week, 0 | movements in the soul, bringing it all into love of His Divine
297 Rules, 2Week, 0 | profit of the soul, that it may grow and rise from good
