 30   1,      2  |         against God it lay. And she had understood this the better
 31   1,      2  |            from a letter, which she had received from the spiritual
 32   1,      3  |             this when he said: If I had the tongues of angels, and
 33   1,      4  |          the ineffable love which I had for you, wishing to re-create
 34   2,      4  |          very great desire that she had conceived on learning the
 35   2,      4  |             with such sweetness, He had deigned to reply to her
 36   2,      4  |             to the sorrow which she had conceived, on account of
 37   2,      4  |     departure of the soul; so that, had she not been surrounded
 38   2,      4  |            Holy Spirit. What reason had You for creating man in
 39   2,      4  |             rebellion into which he had fallen, there should come
 40   2,      5  |         fruit of the Blood which he had received in Holy Baptism,

 73   2,     29  |           who were in the river and had begun to come out, turn
 74   2,     29  |    scandalized at her, because they had heard of the sweet goodness
 75   2,     29  |          sweet goodness of GOD, who had deigned to manifest Himself
 76   2,     30  |         affection to love them; for had worldly things no such brightness

 78   2,     37  |           spiritual self-love, for, had she unwound it she would

 83   2,     40  |         Holy Spirit, which My Truth had promised them. They remained
 84   2,     40  |            true love. But when they had persevered in fasting and
 85   2,     40  |        continual prayer, until they had received the abundance of
 86   2,     40  |            guilt of mortal sin, she had separated herself from Me,
 87   2,     40  |           guilt, because that guilt had barred the door of her desires.

 91   3,      2  |             vocal prayers which she had resolved to say, but if
 92   3,      4  |           holy disciples after they had received the Holy Spirit,
 93   3,      5  |        vision, which this holy soul had, concerning diverse baptisms,
 94   3,      5  |         generation was ended, and I had finished the actual work
 95   3,      5  |         pain and torment, and yet I had not been able to show, by
 96   3,      5  |      infinite, how much more love I had, I wished you to see the
 97   3,      5  |           pain of the desire that I had to complete your redemption,
 98   3,      5  |          you receive it infinitely. Had it not been infinite, the
 99   3,      8  |             which My Word, the Son, had borne from the beginning
100   3,      8  |             but His love -- no. For had the affection of My charity,
101   3,      8  |           by love you are made, and had My love been drawn back,
102   3,      8  |           been drawn back, that is, had I not loved your being,
103   3,      9  |                         Paul, then, had seen and tasted this good,
104   3,     10  |      account of the union which she had made with Me, is impatient

106   3,     11  |         doctors of the holy science had it, expounding the doctrine
107   3,     11  |            Evangelists. The martyrs had it, declaring in their blood
108   3,     11  |            of the Lamb. The virgins had it in the affection of charity
109   3,     11  |          and the cloud of self-love had covered up and put out the
110   3,     11  |            of Scripture, as if they had studied it for long; and

113   3,     12  |           with God, and by what she had heard and tasted of the
114   3,     12  |           God. And nevertheless she had joy from the hope of the
115   3,     12  |       promise that the Truth of God had made to her, teaching her
116   3,     12  |            of the soul of which God had spoken to her, and seeing
117   3,     12  |         Wherefore, knowing that she had not forgotten the teaching
118   3,     12  |            the Truth, that is, God, had given her, that in no other

123   3,     22  |             union of love which she had made with her Creator, and
124   3,     22  |           in elevation of mind, she had gazed into the eternal truth
125   3,     22  |        having recognized the truth, had become enamored of it, and

130   3,     25  |            vexation which the Devil had been causing you, and to
131   3,     25  |             consider My love, which had made you worthy to hear
