Thus was the light of My Divinity united 4331 3, 24 | of My Divinity united to the color of your humanity, 4332 3, 24 | perfect through its union with the Divine nature, and, by this 4333 3, 24 | nature, and, by this means of the Incarnate Word mixed with 4334 3, 24 | Incarnate Word mixed with the Light of My Divine nature 4335 3, 24 | of My Divine nature and the fiery heat of the Holy Spirit, 4336 3, 24 | nature and the fiery heat of the Holy Spirit, have you received 4337 3, 24 | Spirit, have you received the Light. Whom have I entrusted 4338 3, 24 | My ministers in the mystical body of the holy 4339 3, 24 | in the mystical body of the holy Church, so that you 4340 3, 24 | Wherefore, you cannot receive the Body without the Blood, 4341 3, 24 | receive the Body without the Blood, or the Blood or the 4342 3, 24 | Body without the Blood, or the Blood or the Body without 4343 3, 24 | the Blood, or the Blood or the Body without the Soul of 4344 3, 24 | Blood or the Body without the Soul of the Incarnate Word; 4345 3, 24 | Body without the Soul of the Incarnate Word; nor the 4346 3, 24 | the Incarnate Word; nor the Soul, nor the Body, without 4347 3, 24 | Word; nor the Soul, nor the Body, without the Divinity 4348 3, 24 | Soul, nor the Body, without the Divinity of Me, the Eternal 4349 3, 24 | without the Divinity of Me, the Eternal God, because none 4350 3, 24 | you in another place that the Divine nature never left 4351 3, 24 | Divine nature never left the human nature, either by 4352 3, 24 | cause. So that you receive the whole Divine Essence in 4353 3, 24 | Sacrament concealed under the whiteness of the bread; 4354 3, 24 | concealed under the whiteness of the bread; for as the sun cannot 4355 3, 24 | whiteness of the bread; for as the sun cannot be divided into 4356 3, 24 | light, heat, and color, the whole of God and the whole 4357 3, 24 | color, the whole of God and the whole of man cannot be separated 4358 3, 24 | cannot be separated under the white mantle of the host; 4359 3, 24 | under the white mantle of the host; for even if the host 4360 3, 24 | of the host; for even if the host should be divided into 4361 3, 24 | When you break a mirror the reflection to be seen in 4362 3, 24 | broken; similarly, when the host is divided God and 4363 3, 24 | in each particle. Nor is the Sacrament diminished in 4364 3, 24 | except as far as may be in the following example. ~ 4365 3, 24 | If you have a light, and the whole world should come 4366 3, 24 | to take light from it -- the light itself does not diminish -- 4367 3, 24 | this light, according to the substance into which each 4368 3, 24 | which each one receives the fire. I will develop this 4369 3, 24 | metaphor further that you may the better understand Me. Suppose 4370 3, 24 | more, and light them in the flame, in each candle, whether 4371 3, 24 | whether large or small, is the whole light, that is to 4372 3, 24 | whole light, that is to say, the heat, the color, and the 4373 3, 24 | that is to say, the heat, the color, and the flame; nevertheless 4374 3, 24 | the heat, the color, and the flame; nevertheless you 4375 3, 24 | weighs an ounce has less of the light than he whose candle 4376 3, 24 | candle weighs a pound. Now the same thing happens to those 4377 3, 24 | his own candle, that is the holy desire, with which 4378 3, 24 | though I have given you the material, with which you 4379 3, 24 | this light and feed it. The material is love, for through 4380 3, 24 | through love, has received the right disposition in holy 4381 3, 24 | you receive in virtue of the Blood of the Word, for, 4382 3, 24 | in virtue of the Blood of the Word, for, in no other way, 4383 3, 24 | not received in your souls the wick which catches this 4384 3, 24 | Divine Flame, that is to say, the Holy Faith, which you receive, 4385 3, 24 | in baptism, united with the disposition of your soul 4386 3, 24 | cannot live. Where does the soul united in this way 4387 3, 24 | this way obtain light? At the fire of My Divine love, 4388 3, 24 | fearing Me, and following the Doctrine of My Truth. It 4389 3, 24 | My Truth. It is true that the soul becomes more or less 4390 3, 24 | less lighted according to the material which it brings 4391 3, 24 | material which it brings to the fire; for although you all 4392 3, 24 | although you all have one and the same material, in that you 4393 3, 24 | being Christians, possess the light of holy baptism, each 4394 3, 24 | grow in love and virtue by the help of My grace, as may 4395 3, 24 | you. Not that you change the form of what I have given 4396 3, 24 | this Light according to the love and fiery desire with 4397 3, 24 | The Light Itself you receive 4398 3, 24 | entire, as I have said (in the example of those, who in 4399 3, 24 | of those, who in spite of the difference in weight of 4400 3, 24 | their candles, all receive the entire light), and not divided, 4401 3, 24 | yours who receive, or of the minister; but you personally 4402 3, 24 | in this light, that is in the grace which you receive 4403 3, 24 | Sacrament, according to the holy desire with which you 4404 3, 24 | this sweet Sacrament in the guilt of mortal sin, will 4405 3, 24 | though he actually receive the whole of God and the whole 4406 3, 24 | receive the whole of God and the whole of Man. Do you know 4407 3, 24 | whole of Man. Do you know the condition of the soul who 4408 3, 24 | you know the condition of the soul who receives unworthily? 4409 3, 24 | crackle when brought near the flame, for no sooner has 4410 3, 24 | flame, for no sooner has the fire touched it, than it 4411 3, 24 | smoke; so this soul has cast the water of guilt within her 4412 3, 24 | guilt within her mind upon the candle which she received 4413 3, 24 | baptism, which has drenched the wick of the grace of baptism, 4414 3, 24 | has drenched the wick of the grace of baptism, and, not 4415 3, 24 | not having heated it at the fire of true contrition 4416 3, 24 | and confession, goes to the table of the altar to receive 4417 3, 24 | confession, goes to the table of the altar to receive this Light 4418 3, 24 | with her mind, wherefore the Light, since the soul is 4419 3, 24 | wherefore the Light, since the soul is not disposed as 4420 3, 24 | but leaves her, and, in the soul, remains only greater 4421 3, 24 | increased by her darkness. Of the Sacrament she feels nothing 4422 3, 24 | Sacrament she feels nothing but the crackling of a remorseful 4423 3, 24 | conscience, not through the defect of the Light Itself, 4424 3, 24 | not through the defect of the Light Itself, for that can 4425 3, 24 | hurt, but on account of the water that was in the soul, 4426 3, 24 | of the water that was in the soul, which impeded her 4427 3, 24 | that she could not receive the Light. See, therefore, that 4428 3, 24 | color, be divided, either by the scanty desire of the soul 4429 3, 24 | by the scanty desire of the soul when she receives the 4430 3, 24 | the soul when she receives the Sacrament, or by any defect 4431 3, 24 | any defect which may be in the soul, or by any defect of 4432 3, 24 | administers it, as I told you of the sun which is not defiled 4433 3, 24 | shining on anything foul, so the sweet Light of this Sacrament 4434 3, 24 | If all the world should receive in 4435 3, 24 | should receive in communion the Light and Heat of this Sun, 4436 3, 24 | Light and Heat of this Sun, the Word, My only-begotten Son, 4437 3, 24 | be separated from Me -- the True Sun, His Eternal Father -- 4438 3, 24 | because in His mystical Body, the holy Church, He is administered 4439 3, 24 | whole man, as I told you, in the metaphor of the light, that, 4440 3, 24 | you, in the metaphor of the light, that, if all the 4441 3, 24 | the light, that, if all the world came to take light 4442 3, 25 | How the bodily sentiments are all 4443 3, 25 | sentiments are all deceived in the aforesaid Sacrament, but 4444 3, 25 | Sacrament, but not those of the soul; therefore it is, with 4445 3, 25 | soul; therefore it is, with the latter, that one must see, 4446 3, 25 | dearest daughter, open well the eye of your intellect and 4447 3, 25 | intellect and gaze into the abyss of My love, for there 4448 3, 25 | contemplating and considering, among the other benefits she receives 4449 3, 25 | benefits she receives from Me, the special Gift that she receives 4450 3, 25 | Gift that she receives in the Sacrament. ~ 4451 3, 25 | touch it? Not only with the bodily sight and touch, 4452 3, 25 | The eye can only see, and the 4453 3, 25 | The eye can only see, and the hand can only touch, the 4454 3, 25 | the hand can only touch, the white substance of the bread, 4455 3, 25 | the white substance of the bread, and the taste can 4456 3, 25 | substance of the bread, and the taste can only taste the 4457 3, 25 | the taste can only taste the savor of the bread, so that 4458 3, 25 | only taste the savor of the bread, so that the grosser 4459 3, 25 | savor of the bread, so that the grosser bodily sentiments 4460 3, 25 | sentiments are deceived; but the soul cannot be deceived 4461 3, 25 | that is, unless she let the light of the most holy faith 4462 3, 25 | unless she let the light of the most holy faith be taken 4463 3, 25 | seen, and touched? With the sentiment of the soul. With 4464 3, 25 | touched? With the sentiment of the soul. With what eye is It 4465 3, 25 | eye is It to be seen? With the eye of the intellect if 4466 3, 25 | be seen? With the eye of the intellect if within it is 4467 3, 25 | intellect if within it is the pupil of the most holy faith. 4468 3, 25 | within it is the pupil of the most holy faith. This eye 4469 3, 25 | whole God and whole man, the Divine nature united with 4470 3, 25 | Divine nature united with the human nature, the Body, 4471 3, 25 | united with the human nature, the Body, the Soul, and the 4472 3, 25 | human nature, the Body, the Soul, and the Blood of Christ, 4473 3, 25 | the Body, the Soul, and the Blood of Christ, the Soul 4474 3, 25 | and the Blood of Christ, the Soul united to the Body, 4475 3, 25 | Christ, the Soul united to the Body, the Body and the Soul 4476 3, 25 | Soul united to the Body, the Body and the Soul united 4477 3, 25 | to the Body, the Body and the Soul united with My Divine 4478 3, 25 | remember well, almost in the beginning of your life; 4479 3, 25 | so much at first through the eye of your intellect as 4480 3, 25 | your bodily eye, although the light being so great your 4481 3, 25 | lost their vision, and only the sight of the eye of your 4482 3, 25 | vision, and only the sight of the eye of your intellect remained. 4483 3, 25 | for your enlightenment in the battle that the Devil had 4484 3, 25 | enlightenment in the battle that the Devil had been waging against 4485 3, 25 | you increase in love in the light of the most holy faith. ~ 4486 3, 25 | in love in the light of the most holy faith. ~ 4487 3, 25 | beforehand been tormented by the Devil, and you placed yourself 4488 3, 25 | placed yourself upright at the Altar of the Crucifix, while 4489 3, 25 | upright at the Altar of the Crucifix, while the priest 4490 3, 25 | Altar of the Crucifix, while the priest went to the Altar 4491 3, 25 | while the priest went to the Altar of Mary; you stood 4492 3, 25 | have offended Me through the vexation which the Devil 4493 3, 25 | through the vexation which the Devil had been causing you, 4494 3, 25 | into My holy temple. When the minister came to consecrate, 4495 3, 25 | head while he was saying the words of consecration, and 4496 3, 25 | a light, like a ray from the sun, which proceeds from 4497 3, 25 | sun, which proceeds from the circle of the sun without 4498 3, 25 | proceeds from the circle of the sun without being separated 4499 3, 25 | separated from it, out of the midst of which light came 4500 3, 25 | a dove and hovered over the host, in virtue of the words
