 27   1,      5  |           did not remark that you were really asking for love,
 28   1,      7  |          of him, that all virtues were founded; and, truly indeed
 29   1,      7  |           one virtue, to be as it were the chief of the others,
 30   1,      8  |         to you; and, if fortitude were not able to make that good

 33   2,      2  |   together? It is, as if a circle were drawn on the surface of
 34   2,      2  |           circle, for if the tree were out of the earth it would

 36   2,      3  |         if you remember, when you were desirous of doing great
 37   2,      3  |   principal affection of the soul were placed in penance, I should
 38   2,      3  |            for, if one single sin were committed to save the whole
 39   2,      3  |           a thousand times, if it were possible, the life of her
 40   2,      3  |        shown you, that, if virtue were not visible and did not

 43   2,      9  |       Abyss of Charity, as if you were mad with love of Your creature,
 44   2,      9  |       remember, my Lord, that You were willing to show me who are
 45   2,     10  |         three steps, of which two were made with the wood of the
 46   2,     11  |     sincere virtues. These stones were not built into the walls
 47   2,     11  |        walk by the road of virtue were prevented from arriving
 48   2,     11  |       pass; but, after the stones were made, and built up on the
 49   2,     11  |       these stones of the virtues were built into a wall, upon
 50   2,     14  |             Then this soul, as it were, like one intoxicated, could
 51   2,     14  |           the whole world, by You were we created, in You were

 53   2,     15  |   proceeds every evil. But if she were grateful for the benefits
 54   2,     16  |        you left your dignity? You were made sister to the angels,
 55   2,     19  |        pride, the works of My Son were slandered and unjustly judged,
 56   2,     19  |        death. This life and power were given you by the Word, My
 57   2,     19  |           your servitude when you were servants of the devil, Himself
 58   2,     20  |                               Who were the others who followed
 59   2,     20  |           their souls. Thus, they were born in sin like you, and
 60   2,     20  |         your sails to winds which were contrary to your salvation,
 61   2,     22  |          such pain to them, that, were it possible, they would
 62   2,     24  |           go to his brothers, who were in the world, to tell them
 63   2,     25  |         to the soul, for, if this were so, it would follow that,
 64   2,     26  |      inordinate self-love, whence were born all their ills, will
 65   2,     26  |      faith. The Devil says, as it were, to them: 'Whosoever thirsts
 66   2,     27  |          the Devil (not that they were forced to do so, for as
 67   2,     27  |      imperfect, for, because they were imperfect, they constrained

 70   2,     29  |           damnation, and many who were in the river and had begun

 72   2,     30  |        the affection, says, as it were, 'If you will love, I will

 74   2,     33  |       afraid because he is alone; were he accompanied he would
 75   2,     33  |            I said to you that two were not without three, nor three
 76   2,     39  |     Invisible, made Myself, as it were, visible by sending you
 77   2,     40  |        weep. Yet his lamentations were imperfect and remained so,
 78   2,     41  |         the doctrine of My Truth, were built up the stones, based
 79   3,      2  |   crucified, communicating, as it were, sacramentally, with the
 80   3,      2  | visitation, that she feels, as it were, by conscience, rather than
 81   3,      2  |           course provided that it were not the Divine office which
 82   3,      5  |          and Immaculate Lamb, You were dead when Your side was
 83   3,      5  |         of Blood, speaking, as it were, under a figure, and this
 84   3,      5  |         is the pains of the Cross were finite, the fruit of them
 85   3,     10  |       Christ crucified. Wherefore were it possible for them to
 86   3,     11  |      doctors, and my saints. They were illuminated by My Truth
 87   3,     11  |        was, before the Scriptures were formed, wherefore, from
 88   3,     11  |  professors, virgins, and martyrs were all likewise illuminated
 89   3,     11  |     Testament; in the Old, by it, were seen by the eye of the intellect,
 90   3,     11  |          and proud men of science were blind notwithstanding this
 91   3,     14  |      counsels are observed, which were given you, as I have told
 92   3,     15  |           sense I said that there were tears of infinite value,
 93   3,     16  |          the flowers of this tree were putrid, and so in truth
 94   3,     17  |    spiritual self-love; for if it were so, I would humbly confine
 95   3,     19  |         will of man. But, if they were not thus clothed with My
 96   3,     19  |        she lies. Now, if the soul were not in this condition, but
 97   3,     19  |        not in this condition, but were truly humble and not presumptuous,
 98   3,     20  |         which he sees, than if he were to see all traveling by
 99   3,     20  |  beginning of your life, when you were thinking in what way you
100   3,     20  |     arrive at perfect purity, and were praying to Me with a great
101   3,     20  |         replied to you, while you were asleep, concerning this
102   3,     22  |          the feelings of the body were alienated through the union
103   3,     24  |          that this Body is, as it were, a Sun. Wherefore, you cannot
104   3,     24  |          million particles (if it were possible) in each particle
105   3,     25  |          its touch, nor its savor were taken away. This was shown
106   3,     28  |        servile fear, because they were not thinking of themselves,
107   3,     28  |         not even fear death. They were true gardeners who, with
108   3,     28  |         holy Church (because they were not deprived of correction,
109   3,     28  |    deprived of correction, and so were not guilty of sin), for
110   3,     28  |        first burnt the wound. So, were the prelate, or any other
111   3,     28  |        the same pastor. But if he were a physician, good and true
112   3,     28  |           true to those souls, as were those glorious pastors of
113   3,     28  |         the fire of reproof. And, were the member still to remain
114   3,     28  |                              They were cursed, and they blessed,
115   3,     28  |         and good inspirations, so were these ministers angels,
116   3,     28  |       these ministers angels, and were given by My goodness to

118   3,     28  |           money at all, and there were some even who, for the sake
119   3,     28  |     placed in My Providence, they were without servile fear that
120   3,     28  |            I loved you before you were, and those My beloved ones

122   3,     28  |           they were not alone but were accompanied, because being
123   3,     28  |           enjoyment of love, they were in Me, and from Me they
124   3,     28  |         you see that because they were not alone but were accompanied
125   3,     28  |           they were not alone but were accompanied they feared
126   3,     28  |  themselves infirm with those who were infirm, so that they might

128   3,     28  |          mortal sin, which latter were perfectly cured, the ointment
129   3,     30  |       will, because if their will were in accordance with mine
130   3,     30  |          warning him when enemies were coming to attack the city
131   3,     31  |    considered to whom and how you were giving it, the Devil puts
132   3,     32  |    Because You loved us before we were. Oh! Good! oh! Eternal Greatness!
133   4,      2  |         the same instruments that were used by My Word. Oh! blinder
134   4,      3  |     naturally and simply, as they were said to you by My Truth,
135   4,      5  |      servants might be poor, they were never beggars. No more are
136   4,      5  | luminously appointed by those who were temples of the Holy Spirit.

139   4,      5  |    actually experience martyrdom, were martyrs in will like Dominic;
140   4,      5  |           Dominic; great laborers were these sent by My Father
141   4,      5  |         truth Dominic and Francis were two columns of the holy

144   4,      8  |        you fly your cell as if it were a prison, for you have abandoned
145   4,      9  |          the example of those who were standing idle and were sent
146   4,      9  |        who were standing idle and were sent by the lord of the

150   4,      9  |         sake of obedience. If you were lifted up in such contemplation
