  9   1,      1  |          profit herself, that is, if she did not acquire virtue
 10   1,      3  |      explained this when he said: If I had the tongues of angels,
 11   1,      3  |        the tongues of angels, and if I knew the things of the
 12   1,      4  |       reply that this is the way, if you will arrive at a perfect
 13   1,      4  |        because she loves Me; for, if she did not love Me, she
 14   1,      4  |      glory and praise of My Name. If you act thus, I will satisfy
 15   1,      4  |      ordinary charity, wherefore, if they have trouble, they
 16   1,      4  |    receive the life of grace. But if, like fools, they are ungrateful,

 20   1,      4  |          to the devil, the devil, if he choose, has a right to
 21   1,      4  |          speaking in general; and if they satisfy for the guilt
 22   1,      4  |         the guilt alone, that is, if, having abandoned mortal
 23   1,      5  |           other. For this reason (if the soul elect to love Me)
 24   1,      6  |          least with your goodwill if you have nothing else. A
 25   1,      6  |       means of his neighbor, for, if he do not love Me, he cannot
 26   1,      6  |           injury done to him. And if a man be in a position of
 27   1,      8  |        men all their vices; thus, if you consider well, humility
 28   1,      8  |           supporting his defects. If you will observe the virtues
 29   1,      8  |          I have said to you; and, if fortitude were not able
 30   2,      1  |         Me little; often, indeed, if the soul perform not her
 31   2,      1  |       discretion, that is to say, if her affection be placed
 32   2,      1  |           possibility. Otherwise, if the soul place her foundation
 33   2,      1  | discretion, or any fruit of life, if it were not planted in the
 34   2,      1  |          a prelate, or a servant, if he have this virtue, everything
 35   2,      2  |         stand together? It is, as if a circle were drawn on the
 36   2,      2  |       diameter of the circle, for if the tree were out of the
 37   2,      2  |         else than love; and, that if this soul have not in very
 38   2,      2  |         and its end in confusion, if this knowledge were not
 39   2,      3  |            And yet some time ago, if you remember, when you were
 40   2,      3  |       affection of the soul. For, if the principal affection
 41   2,      3  |      director, it is well; since, if she continued then to do
 42   2,      3  |           and not as an end. For, if she takes them as an end
 43   2,      3  |         be useful to others, for, if one single sin were committed
 44   2,      3  |        lay down a thousand times, if it were possible, the life
 45   2,      3  |           have I shown you, that, if virtue were not visible
 46   2,      3  |        who has conceived a child, if she do not bring it forth,
 47   2,      3  |           the Spouse of the soul, if she do not produce the child
 48   2,      4  |          of the world, saying, as if with the words of Moses, '
 49   2,      4  |        will be the more glorified if You pardon so many creatures,
 50   2,      4  |       mercy. For what is it to me if I have life, and Your people
 51   2,      5  |          to satisfy it, for, even if he had satisfied to a certain
 52   2,      5  |         can keep the bridle on it if she choose. Then the vessel
 53   2,      6  |      receive injuries from Me, as if I desired anything else
 54   2,      6  |          I give you liberty, but, if you examine, you will see
 55   2,      6  |       have said to you above, and if they do not do it, the greater
 56   2,      6  |          by means of My servants, if they are jealous to constrain
 57   2,      6  |        will I fulfill your desire if you, on your part, endure
 58   2,      9  |          oh, Abyss of Charity, as if you were mad with love of
 59   2,      9  |         love of Your creature, as if You could not live without
 60   2,      9  |     malignant debtors. Wherefore, if I understand aright, Oh,
 61   2,     10  |      words are to be understood: "If I am lifted up from the
 62   2,     10  |           ad me ipsum,' that is, 'If I am lifted on high I will
 63   2,     10  |           so My Truth said well, 'If I am lifted on high,' &c.,
 64   2,     10  |         high,' &c., meaning, that if the heart and the powers
 65   2,     11  |         built of stones, so that, if the rain come, it may not
 66   2,     11  |        That no man can come to Me if not by Him,' and so indeed
 67   2,     11  |          of the world. Wherefore, if the affection is not placed
 68   2,     13  |            that every person may, if he will, be illuminated
 69   2,     13  |          you the Paraclete' -- as if My Truth should say, 'I
 70   2,     14  |          that is, in Your saints. If I turn to the earth, it
 71   2,     15  |          proceeds every evil. But if she were grateful for the
 72   2,     15  |           in My love: but she, as if blind, goes groping down
 73   2,     17  |      remembrance of My mercy, for if they had it they would not
 74   2,     20  |         given to them. Wherefore, if they do not amend while
 75   2,     21  |           into so great evil. But if the soul have light to know
 76   2,     21  |           she can find mercy. But if she pass the Bridge of death
 77   2,     22  |         could not imagine it. And if you remember well, you know
 78   2,     24  |          have, the time to do so. If they finish their life,
 79   2,     25  |           bliss to the soul, for, if this were so, it would follow
 80   2,     27  |      please. It is an arm, which, if you place it in the hands
 81   2,     27  |    strikes you and slays you. But if man do not give this knife
 82   2,     27  |      hands of the Devil, that is, if he do not consent to his
 83   2,     27  |            and this he cannot do, if you do not wish it. Now
 84   2,     27  |         charity and died in love, if they have lived perfectly
 85   2,     27  |           themselves to be caught if they saw that no good or
 86   2,     27  |          At the foot of the Tree, if you remember well, there
 87   2,     27  |          without Me. But they, as if blinded by the fog of disordinate
 88   2,     28  |           intellect is faith, and if the soul has covered it
 89   2,     28  |        nothing but what I desire. If I allow the Devil to trouble
 90   2,     28  |           painful affliction. And if tribulations on man's account,
 91   2,     30  |     affection, says, as it were, 'If you will love, I will give
 92   2,     30  |       below. So, on the contrary, if the sensual affection wants
 93   2,     31  |                               How if the three aforesaid powers
 94   2,     31  |         they are vice and virtue. If you desire to arrive at
 95   2,     31  |          persevere in virtue, and if you would have eternal death,
 96   2,     33  |  acceptable to Me. He says then: 'If there be two or three or
 97   2,     33  |  completely contained in two, and if these two are not observed
 98   2,     33  |      above transitory things, or, if he will still hold them,
 99   2,     35  |         vomit of mortal sin, but, if they do not arise with love
100   2,     36  |         and not through fear, and if, with hatred of sin, they
101   2,     37  |          This very love, however, if they serve Me with a view
102   2,     37  |         withdrawing their charity if they see their own profit
103   2,     37  |           of their own advantage. If, through a desire for perfection,
104   2,     37  |         and his labor; wherefore, if these souls do not abandon
105   2,     37  |      which they love Me, so that, if they love Me, as a servant
106   2,     37  |          manifest Myself to them. If they, through displeasure
107   2,     39  |         thing together. Wherefore if My Truth said, 'I will manifest
108   2,     39  |       manifest Myself to you,' as if He should say, 'According
109   2,     40  |            and how a man may know if he has become a friend.
110   2,     40  |           come to prudence. Then, if she love Me without thought
111   2,     41  |        love, know this well, for, if they have received My love
112   2,     41  |       neighbor equally sincerely. If a man carry away the vessel
113   2,     41  |         vessel becomes empty, but if he keep his vessel standing
114   2,     41  |         when the lover feels pain if it appear to him that the
115   2,     41  |     begotten Son. For I told you, if you remember, that upon
116   3,      1  |     herself from every adversary, if grasped with the hand of
117   3,      2  |          nourishment from prayer, if she pray only vocally, as
118   3,      2  |        pleases Me but little. But if you ask Me, whether the
119   3,      2  |       broadness of My good mercy, if the soul will only truly
120   3,      2  |        therein. Wherefore it was, if you remember rightly, that,
121   3,      2  |          find no way to take you. If I put you down through confusion,
122   3,      2  |           the wings of mercy, and if I raise you on high, you
123   3,      2  |        perfect mental prayer; but if she simply aims at completing
124   3,      2  |         then, My visitation past, if there be time, she can resume
125   3,      2  |          had resolved to say, but if she has not time to complete
126   3,      2  |      death, say their office. But if they, at the hour appointed
127   3,      2  |        salvation of the neighbor, if the soul see him to be in
128   3,      2  |         united with mental prayer if made with the affection
129   3,      3  |        delight from her mind. And if her sensuality, through
130   3,      5  |          find in Me. But they, as if drunken with love and burning
131   3,      5  |           divine Charity, and so, if you remember well, My Truth
132   3,      5  |     virtue through My Blood, even if they have not been able
133   3,      5  |        the face of the soul. But, if the soul be unable to confess,
134   3,      5  |          this precious Blood. But if you are able to confess,
135   3,      5  |          I wish you to do so, and if you are able to, and do
136   3,      8  |                          Thus, as if drunk with the Blood of
137   3,     10  |          are contented to remain, if I desire them to remain,
138   3,     11  |      fulfill it.' It is almost as if My Truth would say to them --
139   3,     11  |        knowledge of Scripture, as if they had studied it for
140   3,     11  |       earnest-money of damnation, if he yield to it." ~
141   3,     14  |         heart so much as the eye. If the heart is in pain the
142   3,     14  |         the eye manifests it. And if the pain be sensual the
143   3,     14  |          drops sensual tears, and if you ask Me why, I reply:
144   3,     14  |          when it has been reached if the soul abandon the affection
145   3,     15  |            all of which give life if they are disciplined in
146   3,     15  |     virtue of yours have any life if you served Me with anything
147   3,     16  |         diverse kinds of sin, and if they should produce some
148   3,     16  |        towards their neighbor. So if a man be a thief, he robs
149   3,     17  |        many deeds.' Nevertheless, if it please Your Goodness
150   3,     17  |      greatest pleasure. And also, if on some occasion, when I
151   3,     17  |           revealed Your Presence. If I remember well, oh, Eternal
152   3,     17  |          spiritual self-love; for if it were so, I would humbly
153   3,     18  |    towards Me, and remember, that if you do not see, you can
154   3,     18  |                     And similarly if the soul know not good,
155   3,     18  |        grace. Such a one walks as if blind, for he knows not
156   3,     19  |        reaching the perfect. For, if the soul truly have light,
157   3,     19  |         and are good and perfect, if their penance be illuminated
158   3,     19  |    discretion, and founded on Me, if, that is to say, they act
159   3,     19  |          of the will of man. But, if they were not thus clothed
160   3,     19  |          and there she lies. Now, if the soul were not in this
161   3,     20  |           of your sins. It was as if the sweet and amorous Word,
162   3,     20  |         can reach Me, the Father, if not by Him; He is the Way
163   3,     20  |      holiness which he sees, than if he were to see all traveling
164   3,     20  |       your ear. So much so, that, if you remember truly, you
165   3,     20  |        them and in yourself. And, if you should see evident sins
166   3,     20  |        contempt of your neighbor, if you judge his evil will
167   3,     20  |         given to you by My Truth, if you remember well. Now I
168   3,     20  |           life in this life; and, if you have well retained this
169   3,     22  |                Then that soul, as if, in truth, inebriated, seemed
170   3,     22  |         seemed beside herself, as if the feelings of the body
171   3,     22  |          with her Creator, and as if, in elevation of mind, she
172   3,     22  |           commit today; wherefore if it should please Your goodness
173   3,     23  |          fail you, and every man, if he be humble, shall receive
174   3,     24  |      mantle of the host; for even if the host should be divided
175   3,     24  |         into a million particles (if it were possible) in each
176   3,     24  |                                   If you have a light, and the
177   3,     24  |     cannot burn or receive light, if you have not received in
178   3,     24  |                                   If all the world should receive
179   3,     24  |      metaphor of the light, that, if all the world came to take
180   3,     25  |          the eye of the intellect if within it is the pupil of
181   3,     25  |         Me, as I revealed to you, if you remember well, almost
182   3,     25  |         with the hand of love, as if to certify to herself that
183   3,     27  |     miseries may be more intense. If they themselves considered
184   3,     27  |       against Me, but also, that, if they gave their bodies to
185   3,     27  |      their fellow-creatures; for, if by sin they are cruel to
186   3,     28  |         receiving virtue from Me. If you turn to Augustine, and
187   3,     28  |         perfect humility. And, as if famished for such food,
188   3,     28  |        under the same pastor. But if he were a physician, good
189   3,     28  |           position is to be kept. If they would only see that
190   3,     28  |        not to see. And, moreover, if they do see they do not
191   3,     28  |         leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the blind,
192   3,     28  |         sun, did not, and do not (if there be any now) act so.
193   3,     28  |            not fearing, or caring if for them and their subjects
194   3,     28  |        vain, who watches the city if it be not guarded by Me.
195   3,     28  |           his labor will be vain, if he thinks by his labor or
196   3,     29  |          them. You know well that if a filthy and badly dressed
197   3,     29  |          I wish to do them grace, if only they will dispose themselves
198   3,     29  |       prayers, will do them mercy if they will only receive it,
199   3,     29  |         will only receive it, but if they do not correct their
