He did it because he was the eldest, and had nourished 142 2, 24 | he had lived, so that he was the cause of their damnation, 143 2, 25 | increasing virtue, and the one was the occasion to the other 144 2, 26 | reproached by the Blood that was shed for them, and by the 145 2, 26 | body, because their body was the instrument of evil. 146 2, 26 | of its labor, because it was the companion of the soul 147 2, 27 | you remember well, there was a certain thorn, from which 148 2, 27 | seemed to be of corn and was not, and, therefore, as 149 2, 28 | burden of the body, which was a law that opposed the spirit, 150 2, 28 | and sought for it where it was to be found, that is in 151 2, 29 | How this soul was in great bitterness, on 152 2, 29 | imperfections and those of others, was saddened to hear of and 153 2, 29 | her. And, for this, she was in bitterness, and fixing 154 2, 32 | Living Water'? Because He was the Fountain which contained 155 2, 35 | and holy fear. The old law was the law of fear, that was 156 2, 35 | was the law of fear, that was given by Me to Moses, by 157 2, 35 | that of love. Through love was taken away the imperfection 158 2, 35 | So that the imperfect law was made perfect with the law 159 2, 35 | sins committed by humanity was taken away, that is, he 160 2, 35 | that is, he who offended was no longer punished suddenly, 161 2, 35 | longer punished suddenly, as was of old given and ordained 162 2, 37 | happens because their love was originally impure, for they 163 2, 37 | irrespectively of herself. It was with this imperfect love 164 2, 37 | failed, and so disgraceful was his fall, that, not only 165 2, 39 | This He said because He was one thing with Me, and that 166 2, 39 | Father. The second reason was because, in manifesting 167 2, 39 | and Him. The third reason was, because I, being invisible, 168 2, 39 | Me to you. Therefore it was that He did not say 'I will 169 2, 40 | Son. I have told you what was meant by the three powers 170 2, 40 | Everything that He said was said primarily, and in particular, 171 2, 40 | return to you;' and so it was, for, when the Holy Spirit 172 2, 40 | former consolations. When she was in the guilt of mortal sin, 173 2, 41 | and that, though his love was originally drawn from Me, 174 3, 2 | abundance of My charity, which was made visible to you, through 175 3, 2 | which, as the soul sees, was shed through love. On seeing 176 3, 2 | hope therein. Wherefore it was, if you remember rightly, 177 3, 2 | will, you did that which was your duty, which My goodness ( 178 3, 2 | Baptist never sinned and was sanctified in his mother' 179 3, 2 | ceases not to pray.' It was for this reason that I told 180 3, 2 | that I told you that prayer was made in many ways, that 181 3, 3 | conscience made sin where there was no sin, that is, that through 182 3, 3 | it saw sin where there was no sin. ~ 183 3, 4 | seen by the same sign that was given to the holy disciples 184 3, 5 | Christ crucified, which was their rule, way, and doctrine. 185 3, 5 | were dead when Your side was opened. Why then did You 186 3, 5 | telling you that there was occasion enough for it; 187 3, 5 | towards the human generation was ended, and I had finished 188 3, 5 | things, because My love was infinite, how much more 189 3, 5 | charity, because, through love was It shed. There is yet another 190 3, 5 | virtue of the Blood, it was necessary to leave a continual 191 3, 5 | your redemption, because it was terminated and finished 192 3, 5 | the Cross, when the Soul was separated from the Body; 193 3, 5 | showed to you that My love was infinite. How? By the Baptism 194 3, 5 | in order to show this, it was necessary for the Blood 195 3, 9 | How after Saint Paul was drawn to the glory of the 196 3, 9 | Incarnate. The soul of Paul was clothed, through feeling 197 3, 9 | Life, except that his soul was not separated from his body, 198 3, 11 | which seemed dark because it was not understood; not through 199 3, 11 | made light. The intellect was, before the Scriptures were 200 3, 11 | seeing they discerned. It was thus that the holy prophets 201 3, 11 | disciples, to show that He was not a breaker of laws: ' 202 3, 11 | love and holy fear. How was this declared to be the 203 3, 11 | supernatural light, which was and is given by grace to 204 3, 11 | by which death her union was made with Me, and in no 205 3, 12 | teaching her the way she was to direct her will (and 206 3, 14 | before you existed; it was, indeed, love that moved 207 3, 14 | only-begotten Son, your Captain, was the only One who could increase 208 3, 14 | no perfection, because He was one thing with Me, and I 209 3, 14 | Him, wherefore His soul was blessed through union with 210 3, 16 | from which they proceeded was not clean, but all spotted 211 3, 18 | which I said to you that it was the pupil of the eye. This 212 3, 20 | My only-begotten Son, who was fed at the table of holy 213 3, 20 | accomplished the obedience which was imposed on Him by Me, His 214 3, 20 | Captain and Knight that He was, whom I had placed on the 215 3, 20 | hatred of your sins. It was as if the sweet and amorous 216 3, 20 | doctrine which, as you know, was given you by My Truth at 217 3, 20 | doing so. You know what was replied to you, while you 218 3, 20 | This was the doctrine given to you 219 3, 21 | as My only-begotten Son was, on the wood of the holy 220 3, 21 | because, while His flesh was in grief and torment, His 221 3, 21 | grief and torment, His soul was blessed through its union 222 3, 22 | Your only-begotten Son. I was dead, and You have brought 223 3, 22 | have brought me to life. I was sick, and You have given 224 3, 24 | being closely united. Thus was the light of My Divinity 225 3, 24 | account of the water that was in the soul, which impeded 226 3, 25 | above his head while he was saying the words of consecration, 227 3, 25 | words which the minister was saying.
