 15   2,     37  |       abandon the exercise of holy prayer and their other good works,

 17   2,     40  |            in humble and continual prayer, until they had received
 18   2,     40  |          in watching and continued prayer, and not only with physical,
 19   2,     40  |         continues to pray with the prayer of holy desire, which is
 20   2,     40  |       desire, which is a continued prayer, and also with actual prayer,
 21   2,     40  |       prayer, and also with actual prayer, which she practices at

 23   3,      1  |        here begins the Treatise of Prayer. ~
 24   3,      1  |           in watching and constant prayer, separated entirely from

 26   3,      1  |      reason ought she to leave off prayer, for, during the time ordained
 27   3,      1  |       during the time ordained for prayer, the Devil is wont to arrive
 28   3,      1  |            soul is not occupied in prayer. This he does in order that
 29   3,      1  |            does in order that holy prayer may become tedious to the
 30   3,      1  |            with these words: 'This prayer avails you nothing, for
 31   3,      1  |            abandon the exercise of prayer, which is a weapon with
 32   3,      2  |      proceeds from vocal to mental prayer, and a vision is related
 33   3,      2  |            continual, and faithful prayer, the soul acquires, with
 34   3,      2  |        persevere and never abandon prayer, either through the illusion
 35   3,      2  |          purpose of preventing the prayer of the soul. All of this
 36   3,      2  |        that soul and to Me is holy prayer, made in the house of knowledge
 37   3,      2  |           self-knowledge with holy prayer, where imperfections are
 38   3,      2  |           remained in watching and prayer, lost their imperfection
 39   3,      2  |         ardor and nourishment from prayer, if she pray only vocally,
 40   3,      2  |          soul should abandon vocal prayer, since it does not seem
 41   3,      2  |          they are called to mental prayer, I should reply 'No.' The
 42   3,      2  |             so also is it with her prayer. She should nevertheless
 43   3,      2  |     nevertheless continue in vocal prayer, while she is yet imperfect,
 44   3,      2  |     without joining them to mental prayer, that is to say, that while
 45   3,      2  |           goodness, and then vocal prayer will be of use to the soul
 46   3,      2  |           from the vocal imperfect prayer, exercised with perseverance,
 47   3,      2  |    perseverance, at perfect mental prayer; but if she simply aims
 48   3,      2  |          for vocal abandons mental prayer, she will never arrive at
 49   3,      2  |           she should abandon vocal prayer; then, My visitation past,
 50   3,      2  |           in any other case, vocal prayer should be immediately abandoned
 51   3,      2  |          for the said cause. Vocal prayer, made in the way that I
 52   3,      2  |       perseverance, she will taste prayer in truth, and the food of
 53   3,      2  |        they taste by means of holy prayer, little or much, according
 54   3,      2  |         You see then, that perfect prayer is not attained to through
 55   3,      2  |          together mental and vocal prayer, for, even as the active
 56   3,      2  |           Although vocal or mental prayer can be understood in many
 57   3,      2  |         holy desire is a continual prayer, in this sense that a good
 58   3,      2  |    occasion actually appointed for prayer in addition to the continual
 59   3,      2  |          addition to the continual prayer of holy desire, wherefore
 60   3,      2  |            desire, wherefore vocal prayer will be made at the appointed
 61   3,      2  |           neighbor, is virtually a prayer, although it does not replace
 62   3,      2  |     although it does not replace a prayer which one should make oneself
 63   3,      2  |        reason that I told you that prayer was made in many ways, that
 64   3,      2  |         ways, that is, that actual prayer may be united with mental
 65   3,      2  |          may be united with mental prayer if made with the affection
 66   3,      2  |        charity is itself continual prayer. I have now told you how
 67   3,      2  |            now told you how mental prayer is reached by exercise and
 68   3,      2  | perseverance, and by leaving vocal prayer for mental when I visit
 69   3,      2  |            spoken to you of common prayer, that is, of vocal prayer
 70   3,      2  |          prayer, that is, of vocal prayer in general, made outside
 71   3,      2  |       neighbor, with good-will, is prayer. The enclosed soul should
 72   3,      2  |     therefore spur herself on with prayer, and when she has arrived
 73   3,      3  |            in humble and continual prayer, awaiting the coming of
 74   3,      3  |            in humble and continual prayer and holy and true desire." ~

 76   3,     17  |          to see the subjects of my prayer, in one I find (in the course
 77   3,     17  |          find (in the course of my prayer) a well-disposed mind, a

 80   3,     28  |     amorous desires with continual prayer, and the doctrine of words,
 81   3,     29  |          strive with love and holy prayer to re-clothe them, washing
 82   3,     30  |           and humble and continual prayer. The will of his senses
 83   3,     32  |           and thanking GOD, made a prayer for the Holy Church. ~
 84   3,     32  |          with humble and continual prayer. Now I beg of You that You
 85   3,     32  |         for their sakes. Grant the prayer of those, Eternal Father
 86   4,      5  |     obtained it rather by means of prayer than by human study. He
 87   4,      5  |     applied himself to nothing but prayer, preaching, and disputation
 88   4,      6  |        nobles, without watching or prayer. This and many other things

 91   4,      6  |          with humble and continual prayer, and when, through the illusion
 92   4,      6  |   resisting by watching and humble prayer, fixing the eye of his intellect
 93   4,      6  |       darkness of his mind, mental prayer is impossible, he recites
 94   4,      8  | Disobedience. He does not watch in prayer, and not only does he omit
 95   4,      8  |           only does he omit mental prayer, but even the Divine office
 96   4,      9  |      though you should never leave prayer, except for necessity, charity,
 97   4,     10  |           and humble and continual prayer I will do mercy to the world.
