  6 Intro,      0|        Siena, the same Tuscan idiom can be heard, hardly altered
  7   1,      1  |         when she has attained love, can she strive to follow and
  8   1,      1  |          similar words, by which we can see that it is, indeed,
  9   1,      3  |          which the soul endures, or can endure, in this life, are
 10   1,      3  |           the guilt and the penalty can be expiated by the desire
 11   1,      4  |             No virtue, my daughter, can have life in itself except
 12   1,      4  |      self-love, and in no other way can he learn. Then the soul
 13   1,      4  |            not broken by the Blood, can in no way be broken. And
 14   1,      4  |           his hardness of heart, he can use his free will while
 15   1,      5  |      perfect patience, that neither can leave the soul without the
 16   1,      6  |             against Me, for no evil can touch Me, except in so far
 17   1,      7  |          virtues, because no virtue can be obtained without charity,
 18   1,      7  |         sees that, in no other way, can she become grateful and
 19   1,      7  |           because, in no other way, can she act out the truth she
 20   1,      7  |            because, inasmuch as you can do Me no profit, you should
 21   1,      7  |             observed. For he, only, can be of use in his state of
 22   1,      8  |          pride, because a proud man can do no harm to a humble one;
 23   1,      8  |            to a humble one; neither can the infidelity of a wicked
 24   2,      1  |           to what the soul sees she can do in the measure of her
 25   2,      2  |       existing by love, and that it can live by nothing else than
 26   2,      3  |          for My sake, asking, 'What can I do to endure suffering
 27   2,      3  |             Eternal Truth. The soul can therefore place neither
 28   2,      4  |           abyss of love! What heart can help breaking when it sees
 29   2,      5  |           of weakness, but the soul can keep the bridle on it if
 30   2,      5  |           and, in the same way, she can dispose herself to evil
 31   2,      5  |        discretion is come, the soul can, by her free will, make
 32   2,      5  |           that no demon or creature can constrain him to one smallest
 33   2,      9  |         such great love? What heart can help breaking at such tenderness?
 34   2,     10  |         Feet are steps by which you can arrive at His Side, Which
 35   2,     10  |             own profit, because you can be of no profit to Him,
 36   2,     11  |        their life. Wherefore no one can have the virtue given by
 37   2,     11  |            Truth says, 'That no man can come to Me if not by Him,'
 38   2,     11  |       supports in the water, no one can travel that way without
 39   2,     15  |       comparison, far more than you can see, because your sight
 40   2,     15  |             infinite, so that there can be no comparison between
 41   2,     15  |              And, as a corpse which can have no feeling or movement
 42   2,     15  |            lives), asks My help, he can have it, but never can he
 43   2,     15  |           he can have it, but never can he help himself; he has
 44   2,     19  |             the vilest service that can be had, because you are
 45   2,     20  |       cannot become weak. So that I can and will succor him who
 46   2,     21  |             at the end, where there can be no remedy, for she is
 47   2,     21  |             Eternal Good, still she can find mercy. But if she pass
 48   2,     22  |            material thing that fire can consume. But I, by Divine
 49   2,     25  |             come to naught, but she can always love with that affection
 50   2,     25  |           that her vessel or theirs can increase, nor that there
 51   2,     25  |             that the glorified body can pass through a wall, and
 52   2,     25  |         that neither water nor fire can injure it, not by virtue
 53   2,     25  |            eternally. Not that they can work any good, but they
 54   2,     25  |          because in this life alone can they merit and sin, according
 55   2,     26  |    therefore said My Truth, 'No one can go to the Father but by
 56   2,     27  |          neither Devil nor creature can move, because it is yours,
 57   2,     27  |              with free arbitration, can hold it or leave it, according
 58   2,     27  |             is weak, and by himself can do nothing, unless I allow
 59   2,     27  |           enduring pain, for no one can pass through this life without
 60   2,     30  |             give you that which you can love.' And at once it arises,
 61   2,     30  |            of the intellect that it can discern and see nothing
 62   2,     30  |         temporal, that the creature can do, and free choice gets
 63   2,     31  |            and doctrine of My Truth can mount one without the other,
 64   2,     32  |            in Me, the Father, there can be no pain, but in My Son
 65   2,     32  |           pain, but in My Son there can be pain. And you, while
 66   2,     32  |            in Me, the Father, there can be no pain, but in Him there
 67   2,     32  |           no pain, but in Him there can be pain, and therefore of
 68   2,     32  |            for you a Bridge. No one can come to Me except by Him,
 69   2,     32  |           you in the words: 'No one can come to the Father except
 70   2,     33  |             every rational creature can come out of the sea of the
 71   2,     33  |           other things, for nothing can remain empty, and, being
 72   2,     37  |        friends have one soul, there can be no secret between them,
 73   2,     39  |            of the Resurrection, you can see Me, with the eye of
 74   2,     41  |        these and in many other ways can it be seen that his neighborly
 75   3,      1  |           well that in no other way can she arrive thereat, she
 76   3,      1  |          weapon with which the soul can defend herself from every
 77   3,      2  |             for her neighbor. Where can this be acquired? In the
 78   3,      2  |         resist the humble mind, nor can any confusion of spirit
 79   3,      2  |          Cursed that you are, for I can find no way to take you.
 80   3,      2  |         past, if there be time, she can resume the vocal prayers
 81   3,      2  |     Although vocal or mental prayer can be understood in many and
 82   3,      4  |       remains to be told you how it can be seen that souls have
 83   3,      5  |             and love. And therefore can this operation be called
 84   3,      8  |          and praise of My Name. Who can see it? The soul who is
 85   3,      8  |          stable, so that in nothing can it suffer pain, because
 86   3,      8  |            sorrow, it no longer now can give her pain, but only
 87   3,      9  |            of Myself, because on Me can no pain fall, and I wished
 88   3,     11  |         science, because such a one can only offer what he has himself,
 89   3,     11  |          the more it knows the more can it love. Thus the one feeds
 90   3,     12  |          Truth Himself, and nothing can be learnt in the Truth but
 91   3,     14  | tranquillity of mind that no tongue can tell it. Having crossed
 92   3,     14  |          She further knows that she can be of no use to Me and can
 93   3,     14  |          can be of no use to Me and can in no way repay Me that
 94   3,     14  |            medium through which you can all serve Me. For, as I
 95   3,     14  |             I have said to you, you can perform all virtues by means
 96   3,     14  |         cannot repay to Me, but you can pay it to My rational creature,
 97   3,     14  |        third (and final) stage. Nor can it be preserved when it
 98   3,     15  |             You ask how their value can be infinite. I do not say
 99   3,     15  |             in this life your tears can become infinite, but I call
100   3,     15  |           this life only, no tongue can tell what different sorrows
101   3,     16  |             badly planted, the tree can bear no fruits of life but
102   3,     16  |          the branches of mortal sin can turn no other way than to
103   3,     16  |          world. Do not marvel, they can turn no way but that in
104   3,     16  |          way but that in which they can be fed by the earth; for
105   3,     16  |      Eternal God. Therefore I alone can satisfy him, and, because
106   3,     17  |        gladly know whether this joy can consist with the delusion
107   3,     18  |         that if you do not see, you can not hear, that is to say,
108   3,     18  |           your demand. Not that you can increase My delight, for
109   3,     18  |           without the light, no one can walk in the truth, that
110   3,     18  |            that by this law any man can be constrained to commit
111   3,     20  |       except seeing in what way she can preserve and increase her
112   3,     20  |          and follow Him, for no one can reach Me, the Father, if
113   3,     20  |             the world and the Devil can attack them, slide under
114   3,     20  |          good intention, for no one can judge the secrets of the
115   3,     22  |            precept that, in no way, can I judge any rational creature,
116   3,     23  |     opportunity, for without Me you can do nothing, I will fulfill
117   3,     24  |          God, because none of these can be separated from each other,
118   3,     24  |           because of yourselves you can do nothing, though I have
119   3,     24  |            material, with which you can receive this light and feed
120   3,     24  |           for when time is past you can no longer do so. So that
121   3,     24  |           longer do so. So that you can increase in love, as has
122   3,     24  |             water has fallen, which can do nothing but crackle when
123   3,     24  |          the Light Itself, for that can receive no hurt, but on
124   3,     24  |           therefore, that in no way can this Light, united with
125   3,     24  |          diminished in any way, nor can it be detached from its
126   3,     25  |                             The eye can only see, and the hand can
127   3,     25  |          can only see, and the hand can only touch, the white substance
128   3,     25  |            the bread, and the taste can only taste the savor of
129   3,     25  |          love. With this hand alone can you touch that which the
130   3,     28  |              therefore, that no one can receive the light without
131   3,     28  |            law, nor the divine law, can be kept in any degree without
132   3,     30  |         virtues, because he neither can nor will hope in his own
133   3,     30  |            round him to see if they can acquire anything, and appear
134   3,     30  |           light of virtue which all can have in general, but of
135   3,     30  |      whether one who has no science can attain to this love, I should
136   3,     30  |            the vision of the devils can do no harm, because of the
137   3,     31  |         rather choose any pain that can be suffered in this world
138   3,     31  |              and with this mercy he can, if he will, take hold on
139   3,     31  |             sins which any creature can commit; wherefore it greatly
140   3,     31  |             fear, for fear and harm can only be caused to him by
141   3,     32  |           fire of Your charity. And can a wretch like me pay back
142   3,     32  |            or desire as much as You can give, and thus I see that
143   3,     32  |             in the way in which You can and will satisfy the soul,
144   3,     32  |            attribute, wherefore You can not destroy it or refuse
145   3,     32  |             our bath, wherefore You can not deny it to any one who
146   3,     32  |         first reply to us before we can cry out with the voice of
147   3,     32  |             You open before even we can knock, for it is with the
148   4,      1  |          perfect; for no one at all can reach eternal life if he
149   4,      1  |         door, opened it, and no one can enter except by means of
150   4,      2  |            assisted by My grace, he can repair it with the same
151   4,      2  |           that the pride which fell can rise? Do you think to be
152   4,      2  |            chain of mortal sin, you can walk? or that without a
153   4,      2  |           or that without a key you can open the door? Do not imagine
154   4,      2  |             Do not imagine that you can, for it is a fantastical
155   4,      2  |          faith that in no other way can they escape eternal damnation;
156   4,      2  |             they will lose it. They can indeed find it again if
157   4,      2  |            sea cannot hurt her, nor can any tempest reach the interior
158   4,      2  |             to desire Me alone, who can and will satisfy all his
159   4,      2  |             is so great that no one can rule you, for you have come
160   4,      3  |         though it is true that they can obey the precepts of the
161   4,      5  |           place and in what way she can pay her debt, trampling
162   4,      5  |         death, for no true judgment can be made on a person's entrance
163   4,      5  |          pride, not that this light can be darkened in itself, but
164   4,      5  |          for there, where pride is, can be no obedience. I have
165   4,      6  |             every means by which he can draw them out of the darkness
166   4,      6  |             am his helper, and both can and will help him, and open
167   4,      6  |     self-reproach, thinking that he can never endure enough pain,
168   4,      7  |       perfect that no higher virtue can be attained except by recommencing
169   4,      8  |           the obedient man. For how can this wretch be in any other
170   4,      8  | irreverently and reproving him. You can not endure your brother,
171   4,      8  |         disobedience, wherefore you can not remain in your material
172   4,      8  |           the chapter-house when he can through fear of penance.

179 Lette,      0|        sorrowful mother, all that I can say is that it was a bitter
