They 2767 3, 28 | will not fear to lose it, and will reprove manfully, and 2768 3, 28 | and will reprove manfully, and he whose conscience does 2769 3, 28 | And therefore this pearl of 2770 3, 28 | embraced voluntary poverty, and sought out vileness with 2771 3, 28 | with profound humility, and cared not for scorn or villainies, 2772 3, 28 | They were cursed, and they blessed, and, with 2773 3, 28 | cursed, and they blessed, and, with true patience, they 2774 3, 28 | but by their ministry, and the supernatural grace given 2775 3, 28 | of administering the Body and Blood of My only-begotten 2776 3, 28 | of My only-begotten Son. And they are truly angels. Because, 2777 3, 28 | guardian, ministers to you holy and good inspirations, so were 2778 3, 28 | these ministers angels, and were given by My goodness 2779 3, 28 | goodness to be guardians, and therefore had they their 2780 3, 28 | inspiring in their hearts holy and good thoughts, and offering 2781 3, 28 | holy and good thoughts, and offering up for them before 2782 3, 28 | for them before Me, sweet and amorous desires with continual 2783 3, 28 | desires with continual prayer, and the doctrine of words, and 2784 3, 28 | and the doctrine of words, and with example of life. So 2785 3, 28 | inspirations, with prayers and example of life, and doctrine 2786 3, 28 | prayers and example of life, and doctrine as I said. With 2787 3, 28 | govern those under them, and converse with them! With 2788 3, 28 | them! With how much hope and lively faith, and therefore 2789 3, 28 | much hope and lively faith, and therefore with liberality, 2790 3, 28 | fearing, or caring if for them and their subjects temporal 2791 3, 28 | temporal substance diminished. And they scarcely observed that 2792 3, 28 | Church.
