  1   1,      1  |             if she did not acquire virtue in herself -- addressed
  2   1,      3  |       inasmuch as they possess the virtue of desire, and sustain their
  3   1,      4  |    contrition of the heart; not by virtue of the pain, but by virtue
  4   1,      4  |         virtue of the pain, but by virtue of the desire of the soul;
  5   1,      4  |       inasmuch as desire and every virtue is of value, and has life
  6   1,      4  |          all that is necessary. No virtue, my daughter, can have life
  7   1,      4  |        your sins, and with love of virtue for the glory and praise
  8   1,      4  |            sufficient, through the virtue of love, for satisfaction
  9   1,      4  |        extent of their exercise of virtue and grace in general. I
 10   1,      4  |        make them smell the odor of virtue, and take delight in the
 11   1,      6  |                          How every virtue and every defect is obtained
 12   1,      6  |         you should know that every virtue is obtained by means of
 13   1,      6  |         idea of sin, and hatred of virtue, that is, pleasure from
 14   1,      6  |          nor others of the love of virtue and hatred of vice. Being
 15   1,      6  |           not giving an example of virtue, the villain also usurps
 16   1,      6  |        fellow-creatures to abandon virtue for vice; this is cruelty
 17   1,      7  |         which gives light to every virtue. In the same way self-love,
 18   1,      7  |            the virtues, because no virtue can be obtained without
 19   1,      7  |             and with the medium of virtue, which she has conceived
 20   1,      7  |          hatred of sin and love of virtue; and, when she has thus
 21   1,      7  |            exercise and prove your virtue therewith; because, inasmuch
 22   1,      7  |       herself by the conception of virtue, from which she has drawn
 23   1,      7  |            to one, but to one, one virtue, and to another, another,
 24   1,      7  |           in many cases I give one virtue, to be as it were the chief
 25   1,      7  |            principal object of its virtue; the soul disposing herself,
 26   1,      7  |         and, by the effect of this virtue, the soul draws to herself
 27   1,      7  |           many gifts and graces of virtue, and not only in the case
 28   1,      7  |           they may make use of the virtue of love. ~
 29   1,      8  |   infidelity and lack of hope. The virtue of faith is proved in these
 30   1,      8  |          to you, that, not only is virtue proved in those who render
 31   1,      8  |   benevolence, and that this is by virtue of the love and perfect
 32   1,      8  |           in all these things, the virtue of fortitude conceived within
 33   1,      8  |          it would not be a serious virtue founded in truth." ~
 34   2,      1  |       which are the instruments of virtue; works of penance performed
 35   2,      1  |           the affection of love of virtue. With this discretion, then,
 36   2,      1  |         her principal affection in virtue rather than in penance.
 37   2,      1  |          but the means to increase virtue according to the needs of
 38   2,      1  |            that which I hate. This virtue of discretion is no other
 39   2,      1  |           and in this knowledge is virtue rooted. Discretion is the
 40   2,      1  |         tree would not produce the virtue of discretion, or any fruit
 41   2,      1  |            were not planted in the virtue of humility, because humility
 42   2,      1  |         guilt. And this founds the virtue of discretion on knowledge
 43   2,      1  | Contrariwise those who possess the virtue of discretion. For, when
 44   2,      1  |           servant, if he have this virtue, everything that he does
 45   2,      2  |      produces fragrant blossoms of virtue, with many scents of great
 46   2,      3  |        instruments for arriving at virtue, and not as the principal
 47   2,      3  |            the proving, namely, of virtue in the time of need. And
 48   2,      3  |         conceives and brings forth virtue in truth; that is, unless
 49   2,      3  |          which, as I told you, the virtue of discretion renders to
 50   2,      3  |    performed as the instruments of virtue, and not as a principal
 51   2,      3  |          less, inasmuch as neither virtue nor merit consists therein;
 52   2,      3  |     penance. Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored
 53   2,      3  |             or to obtain one great virtue, the motive would not be
 54   2,      3  |      perform even one act of great virtue and profit to others, by
 55   2,      3  |   condiment of every instrument of virtue. Holy discretion is a prudence
 56   2,      3  |          at first conceived by the virtue of love, as has been said,
 57   2,      3  |         have I shown you, that, if virtue were not visible and did
 58   2,      3  |     already told you, that perfect virtue cannot exist and give fruit
 59   2,      3  |           not produce the child of virtue, in the love of her neighbor,
 60   2,      3  |       truth, she has not conceived virtue at all; and this is also
 61   2,      5  |         nor diminish Its grace and virtue, nor does an evil minister
 62   2,      5  |          sin was taken from him by virtue of the Blood, which stain
 63   2,      5  |          the flesh of Adam, but by virtue of the Eternal Deity, the
 64   2,      5  |     satisfy for guilt, but only by virtue of the divine nature. And
 65   2,      5  |        Holy Baptism, which has the virtue of communicating the life
 66   2,      5  |          this liberty been made by virtue of this glorious Blood,
 67   2,      6  |    neighbor, with true and genuine virtue, as I have said to you above,
 68   2,     10  |        fills herself with love and virtue; and on the third she tastes
 69   2,     11  |   attempted to walk by the road of virtue were prevented from arriving
 70   2,     11  |        foundation, for there is no virtue which has not been proved
 71   2,     11  |      Wherefore no one can have the virtue given by a life of grace,
 72   2,     13  |            ascended into Heaven by virtue of the Divine Nature and
 73   2,     13  |         doctrine remained, and the virtue of the stones founded upon
 74   2,     13  |            power of Mine gives the virtue of fortitude to whoever
 75   2,     13  |     leaving there only the love of virtue. Thus, in both ways, both
 76   2,     18  |          by not paying the debt of virtue, and towards Me by not paying
 77   2,     19  |            say: 'This man works by virtue of Beelzebub.' Thus wicked
 78   2,     20  |         them showing them vice and virtue. And I have made them see
 79   2,     20  |         made them see the fruit of virtue, and the hurtfulness of
 80   2,     20  |         hatred of vice and love of virtue, and this truth has not
 81   2,     20  |          the increase of grace and virtue in their souls. Thus, they
 82   2,     24  |       ended in hatred of Me and of virtue. But why then did he do
 83   2,     25  |           love, cannot increase in virtue, time having come to naught,
 84   2,     25  |          grew in grace, increasing virtue, and the one was the occasion
 85   2,     25  |         fire can injure it, not by virtue of itself, but by virtue
 86   2,     25  |           virtue of itself, but by virtue of the soul, which virtue
 87   2,     25  |          virtue of the soul, which virtue is of Me, given to her by
 88   2,     26  |         dye upon the cloth, not by virtue of the body but only out
 89   2,     26  |         the soul in the working of virtue. As in the mirror is represented
 90   2,     27  |         may conquer, proving their virtue, and receive from Me the
 91   2,     27  |        tempted, so as to arrive at virtue, by being proved. For one
 92   2,     27  |         For one does not arrive at virtue except through knowledge
 93   2,     27  |      yourself, and of Me, and that virtue may be proved, for it is
 94   2,     27  |        life, to exercise and prove virtue in the soul. Not that it
 95   2,     27  |    intention of the Devil to prove virtue in you (for he has not love),
 96   2,     27  |            have lived perfectly in virtue, illuminated with the light
 97   2,     28  |       temptations to prove them in virtue, as I told you above, they
 98   2,     29  |          exercising and proving of virtue in them. And, notwithstanding
 99   2,     30  |          self-love, displeasure of virtue, and love of vice, whence
100   2,     31  |       needful -- they are vice and virtue. If you desire to arrive
101   2,     31  |        life, you must persevere in virtue, and if you would have eternal
102   2,     33  |         thirst. Thirst, I say, for virtue, and the honor of My Name
103   2,     33  |         and true fear, and love of virtue. He then finds that he has
104   2,     35  |    sufficient, without the love of virtue, to give eternal life; and
105   2,     35  |          do not arise with love of virtue, servile fear alone is not
106   2,     36  |           sin, but at the fruit of virtue, and the love which I bear
107   2,     37  |          order to exercise them in virtue and raise them above their
108   2,     37  |            abandon, under color of virtue, many of their exercises,
109   2,     37  |          punishment, or to embrace virtue from the motive of one's
110   2,     37  |          is displeasing to Me, and virtue should be loved for My sake.
111   2,     37  |          imperfection, and love of virtue, dig up, with hatred, the
112   2,     38  |        amorous Word? In many is My virtue manifested in the soul in
113   2,     38  |          first manifestation of My virtue, that is to say, of My love
114   2,     38  |            her to taste and see My virtue. Sometimes she seeks Me
115   2,     40  |         Every perfection and every virtue proceeds from charity, and
116   2,     40  |       self- hatred and the love of virtue." ~
117   2,     41  |         the stones, based upon the virtue of His Blood, for it is
118   2,     41  |            His Blood, for it is in virtue of this Blood that the virtues
119   3,      1  |       crucified, with true love of virtue and hatred of vice, and
120   3,      1  |     recognized? By perseverance in virtue, and by the fact that the
121   3,      2  |            and perseverance, every virtue. Wherefore should she persevere
122   3,      2  |           pass by, by means of the virtue of perseverance. Oh, how
123   3,      5  |        baptism of water, which has virtue through the Blood, and where
124   3,      5  |          grace in Holy Baptism, in virtue of the Blood? In the Side,
125   3,      5  |        water, which is received in virtue of the Blood. I also showed
126   3,      5  |             shed for Me, which has virtue through My Blood, even if
127   3,      5  |          drew from Holy Baptism in virtue of the Blood, it was necessary
128   3,      5  |           are infinite. This is in virtue of the infinite Divine nature,
129   3,      7  |            exercise My servants in virtue in this life and as justiciars
130   3,     10  |          possible for them to have virtue without toil they would

132   3,     14  |        united nourish your soul in virtue, making her to grow in the

134   3,     14  |          mind, in order to nourish virtue within her soul. In such
135   3,     14  |          that she may ever grow in virtue. For the soul is never so
136   3,     15  |            they are disciplined in virtue, as I have said to you.
137   3,     15  |       worth nothing, nor would any virtue of yours have any life if
138   3,     16  |           the love of My servants' virtue. ~
139   3,     16  |          and to be used in love of virtue, and for the salvation of
140   3,     17  |     remained in joy and courageous virtue. I would gladly know whether
141   3,     17  |      confine myself to the sign of virtue. These are the things which
142   3,     18  |        which faith you exercise in virtue by the light of reason,
143   3,     18  |      should prove and increase the virtue of his soul, because virtue
144   3,     18  |        virtue of his soul, because virtue cannot be proved, except
145   3,     18  |            of good, that is to say virtue, she cannot love or desire
146   3,     18  |          am the Essential Good, or virtue, which I have given you
147   3,     18  |          that which I love. I love virtue and hate vice; he who loves
148   3,     18  |           who loves vice and hates virtue offends Me, and is deprived
149   3,     18  |      follows it: he is ignorant of virtue and of Me, who am the cause
150   3,     18  |          his obtaining life-giving virtue; he is ignorant of his own
151   3,     18  |    advancing to grace, by means of virtue. See, therefore, how his
152   3,     20  |     permits this in order to prove virtue in yourself, and in My other
153   3,     21  |          which is given to man, in virtue of which he expects one
154   3,     23  |     reproving vice and encouraging virtue according to your power. ~
155   3,     24  |            truth, in which she saw virtue resplendent in those who
156   3,     24  |      baptism, which you receive in virtue of the Blood of the Word,
157   3,     24  |           you may grow in love and virtue by the help of My grace,
158   3,     25  |          hovered over the host, in virtue of the words which the minister
159   3,     26  |         behind its imprint, so the virtue of this Sacrament remains
160   3,     28  |             which all give life in virtue of the Blood. Each one,
161   3,     28  |        gave him both grace and the virtue which preserves it, and,
162   3,     28  |        word and in deed, receiving virtue from Me. If you turn to
163   3,     28  |       despising vice and embracing virtue, with love of Me and of
164   3,     28  |      planted plants odoriferous of virtue. Wherefore, those under
165   3,     28  |         have bestowed upon you, in virtue using the free-will which
166   3,     28  |   oftentimes remained bound by the virtue and power that I had given
167   3,     29  |          the case of priests whose virtue grows weak, any more than
168   3,     29  |           possess the adornment of virtue, as did those of whom I
169   3,     29  |         therefore by reason of the virtue and dignity of the Sacrament,
170   3,     29  |         and by reason of that very virtue and dignity you should hate
171   3,     29  |         stripped of the garment of virtue, foully living in dishonor;
172   3,     30  |          of vice, and with love of virtue. He has entirely lost all
173   3,     30  |         fears death; but since the virtue of a just and perfect man
174   3,     30  |         friend, that is to say, to virtue and holy thoughts, he gave
175   3,     30  |          time and of the jewels of virtue, reproves herself, seeming
176   3,     30  |             not as her due, but by virtue of Jesus Christ My Son. ~
177   3,     30  |         speak only of the light of virtue which all can have in general,
178   3,     30  |      solicitously and with love of virtue they receive, as has been
179   3,     31  |            denuded and without any virtue, and on whichever side he
180   3,     31  |             in charity and love of virtue, and that time which I gave
181   3,     31  |         towards nourishing them in virtue, giving them the example
182   3,     31  |          but solely with regard to virtue, My honor and the salvation
183   3,     31  |        being placed on a ground of virtue is known better on account
184   3,     31  |           better on account of the virtue, and the better he knows
185   3,     31  |           better the perfection of virtue, wherefore he grieves the
186   3,     31  |        which dying sinners have of virtue and vice they see only too
187   3,     31  |         the good which follows the virtue of a just man, and the pain
188   3,     31  |           grace of having followed virtue in the doctrine of My truth
189   3,     32  |        life. You have shown me the virtue and beatitude of these Your
190   3,     32  |        they ought to be mirrors of virtue. And because You have manifested
191   4,      1  |          So prompt in Him was this virtue, that, in order to fulfill
192   4,      1  |            sign that you have this virtue is patience, and impatience
193   4,      1  |            further concerning this virtue. But observe that obedience
194   4,      1  |           know this most excellent virtue in that humble and immaculate
195   4,      1  |          or you have neither. This virtue has a nurse who feeds her,
196   4,      1  |            same milk she feeds the virtue of obedience. Her raiment
197   4,      1  |        spoke to you of a companion virtue proceeding from obedience
198   4,      1  |     described this and every other virtue." ~
199   4,      2  |         sweet and glorious is this virtue, which contains all the
200   4,      3  |        worldly men devoid of every virtue do the contrary; they, like
