But, in no way, does the creature 127 1, 1 | because prayer, exercising her in the above way, unites with 128 1, 1 | with Me and I with him. In several places we find similar 129 1, 1 | when she was lifted up in prayer, with great elevation 130 1, 1 | to the soul, creating her in My image and similitude, 131 1, 1 | could not be of use, whether in doctrine, example, or prayer, 132 1, 1 | she did not acquire virtue in herself -- addressed four 133 1, 1 | for the whole world, and in particular for the peace 134 1, 1 | against the Holy Church; in the fourth and last, she 135 1, 1 | Providence to provide for things in general, and in particular, 136 1, 1 | for things in general, and in particular, for a certain 137 1, 2 | neediness of the world, and in what a tempest of offense 138 1, 2 | spiritual Father of her soul, in which he explained to her 139 1, 2 | And, since the soul seems, in such communion, sweetly 140 1, 2 | inasmuch as the soul is then in God, and God in the soul, 141 1, 2 | is then in God, and God in the soul, as the fish is 142 1, 2 | the soul, as the fish is in the sea, and the sea in 143 1, 2 | in the sea, and the sea in the fish, she desired the 144 1, 2 | morrow was a feast of Mary) in order to hear Mass. And, 145 1, 2 | accuse myself before You, in order that You may punish 146 1, 2 | may punish me for my sins in this finite life, and, inasmuch 147 1, 2 | must endure, I implore You, in Your kindness, to punish 148 1, 2 | kindness, to punish them in my person." ~ 149 1, 3 | desire, doing as He did in the Old Testament, for when 150 1, 3 | sweet Truth to that soul, in sending down the fire of 151 1, 3 | endures, or can endure, in this life, are insufficient 152 1, 3 | pains that are given to men in this life are given as punishments, 153 1, 3 | punishments, but as corrections, in order to chastise a son 154 1, 3 | I wish from My creature in two ways: in one way, through 155 1, 3 | My creature in two ways: in one way, through her sorrow 156 1, 3 | against Me her Creator; in the other way, through her 157 1, 3 | works are finite and done in finite time; but, inasmuch 158 1, 4 | the guilt and the penalty in oneself and in others; and 159 1, 4 | the penalty in oneself and in others; and how sometimes 160 1, 4 | the guilt is not punished in this finite time by any 161 1, 4 | is of value, and has life in itself, through Christ crucified, 162 1, 4 | crucified, My only begotten Son, in so far as the soul has drawn 163 1, 4 | that is, His Footprints. In this way, and in no other, 164 1, 4 | Footprints. In this way, and in no other, are virtues of 165 1, 4 | are virtues of value, and in this way, pains satisfy 166 1, 4 | and intimate love acquired in the knowledge of My goodness, 167 1, 4 | knowledge of My goodness, and in the bitterness and contrition 168 1, 4 | endure the patient humility in which consists the above-mentioned 169 1, 4 | and, by humbling yourself in the valley of humility, 170 1, 4 | daughter, can have life in itself except through charity, 171 1, 4 | foster-mother and nurse of charity. In self-knowledge, then, you 172 1, 4 | humble yourself, seeing that, in yourself, you do not even 173 1, 4 | and others before you were in existence; and that, through 174 1, 4 | you, and re-created you in the Blood of My only-begotten 175 1, 4 | cloud of self-love, and in no other way can he learn. 176 1, 4 | soul will inflame herself in this knowledge of Me with 177 1, 4 | which love she continues in constant pain; not, however, 178 1, 4 | who have learnt My truth in this way, to sustain, even 179 1, 4 | and injuries and insults in word and deed, for the glory 180 1, 4 | satisfaction and reward, both in you and in others. In yourself 181 1, 4 | reward, both in you and in others. In yourself you 182 1, 4 | both in you and in others. In yourself you will receive 183 1, 4 | that you ever offended Me. In others I will satisfy through 184 1, 4 | they will receive My gifts. In particular, to those who 185 1, 4 | grace, receiving it humbly in greater or less degree, 186 1, 4 | exercise of virtue and grace in general. I say then, that, 187 1, 4 | obstinacy should not be so great in their despair as to condemn 188 1, 4 | light, and that I wake up in them the hound of conscience, 189 1, 4 | virtue, and take delight in the conversation of My servants. ~ 190 1, 4 | My truth may be fulfilled in them. I am constrained to 191 1, 4 | their loss. But I do not, in general, grant to these 192 1, 4 | dispositions on both sides, both in him that gives and him that 193 1, 4 | These are they who are in a state of ordinary charity, 194 1, 4 | trouble, they receive it in the guise of correction, 195 1, 4 | broken by the Blood, can in no way be broken. And yet, 196 1, 4 | yet, I say to you, that, in spite of his hardness of 197 1, 4 | everything that he has acquired in this life. And, filling 198 1, 4 | as have this contrition in perfection satisfy not only 199 1, 4 | already said when speaking in general; and if they satisfy 200 1, 4 | who am the Infinite Good, in greater or less degree, 201 1, 4 | measures to Me, do he receive in himself the measure of My 202 1, 5 | punish the faults of others in you, and you did not remark 203 1, 5 | wherefore he that grows in love grows in grief. Therefore, 204 1, 5 | that grows in love grows in grief. Therefore, I say 205 1, 5 | nothing to him who asks of Me in truth. Consider that the 206 1, 5 | charity is so closely joined in the soul with perfect patience, 207 1, 5 | elect to endure pains for Me in whatever mode or circumstance 208 1, 5 | Patience cannot be proved in any other way than by suffering, 209 1, 6 | he, therefore, who stands in hatred of Me, does an injury 210 1, 6 | temporally, according to the need in which he may be, at least 211 1, 6 | not love Me, he cannot be in charity with his neighbor; 212 1, 6 | evil can touch Me, except in so far as I count done to 213 1, 6 | neighbor. Him he injures in not paying him the debt, 214 1, 6 | assistance which is owed in general to every rational 215 1, 6 | example of good works, and in every other respect in which 216 1, 6 | and in every other respect in which your neighbor may 217 1, 6 | neighbor may be seen to be in need; counseling him exactly 218 1, 6 | injury and a constant evil. In this way sin causes a physical 219 1, 6 | sinner has conceived pleasure in the idea of sin, and hatred 220 1, 6 | forth cruelty, and that both in general and in particular. ~ 221 1, 6 | that both in general and in particular. ~ 222 1, 6 | himself and other creatures in danger of death and damnation 223 1, 6 | the body has its origin in cupidity, which not only 224 1, 6 | beast full of stench, and in this case he does not poison 225 1, 6 | approaches him, with love or in conversation, is poisoned. ~ 226 1, 6 | be greater than he; and in this way is injury done 227 1, 6 | to him. And if a man be in a position of authority, 228 1, 6 | See now, that, in all places and in all kinds 229 1, 6 | that, in all places and in all kinds of people, sin 230 1, 6 | and through his medium; in no other way could sin ever 231 1, 7 | differ to such an extent in creatures. ~ 232 1, 7 | gives light to every virtue. In the same way self-love, 233 1, 7 | universal body of the believers in the Christian religion; 234 1, 7 | said to you, that it was in the neighbor, that is to 235 1, 7 | neighbor, that is to say in the love of him, that all 236 1, 7 | perverse law, which is bound up in her members, and which ever 237 1, 7 | earnestness, she discovers in herself the bounty of My 238 1, 7 | which she considers again in herself. She attributes 239 1, 7 | because she sees that, in no other way, can she become 240 1, 7 | for her neighbor, because, in no other way, can she act 241 1, 7 | truth she has conceived in herself, but, loving Me 242 1, 7 | herself, but, loving Me in truth, in the same truth 243 1, 7 | but, loving Me in truth, in the same truth she serves 244 1, 7 | you possess Me by grace in your soul, producing much 245 1, 7 | to serve the whole world in general, and more or less 246 1, 7 | general, and more or less in a particular case according 247 1, 7 | advantage of this unitive love in Me, by means of which, she 248 1, 7 | the needs of her neighbor in particular. Wherefore, when 249 1, 7 | of all rational creatures in general, she helps those 250 1, 7 | which are brought forth in the love of the neighbor; 251 1, 7 | although I have given them in such a different way, that 252 1, 7 | Wherefore, learn, that, in many cases I give one virtue, 253 1, 7 | I place, indifferently, in the souls of many creatures; 254 1, 7 | particular one so placed in the soul becomes the principal 255 1, 7 | are all bound together in the affection of love; and 256 1, 7 | of virtue, and not only in the case of spiritual things 257 1, 7 | have not placed them all in one soul, in order that 258 1, 7 | placed them all in one soul, in order that man should, perforce, 259 1, 7 | ministers, and placed them in diverse stations and various 260 1, 7 | stations and various ranks, in order that they may make 261 1, 7 | Wherefore, I show you that in My house are many mansions, 262 1, 7 | other thing than love, for in the love of Me is fulfilled 263 1, 7 | he, only, can be of use in his state of life, who is 264 1, 8 | humility is proved on pride in this way. The humble man 265 1, 8 | neither loves Me, nor hopes in Me, when brought forth against 266 1, 8 | fortifies it, and proves it in the love he feels for his 267 1, 8 | because he is without hope in Me, and in My servant, because 268 1, 8 | without hope in Me, and in My servant, because he does 269 1, 8 | his faith and hope rather in his own sensuality, which 270 1, 8 | constantly seek, with hope in Me, for his salvation, inasmuch 271 1, 8 | virtue of faith is proved in these and other ways. Wherefore, 272 1, 8 | servant proves his faith in himself and in his neighbor, 273 1, 8 | his faith in himself and in his neighbor, and so, justice 274 1, 8 | kindness manifest themselves in a time of wrath by the same 275 1, 8 | the same sweet patience in My servants, and envy, vexation, 276 1, 8 | not only is virtue proved in those who render good for 277 1, 8 | perfect patience which is in him, who sustains the anger 278 1, 8 | doctrine of truth. Wherefore, in all these things, the virtue 279 1, 8 | perseveres with strength, and, in addition proves itself externally 280 1, 8 | a serious virtue founded in truth." ~ 281 2, 1 | affection be placed principally in the penance she has undertaken, 282 2, 1 | her principal affection in virtue rather than in penance. 283 2, 1 | affection in virtue rather than in penance. Penance should 284 2, 1 | the soul sees she can do in the measure of her own possibility. 285 2, 1 | penance will not be done in the light of knowledge of 286 2, 1 | of herself and of Me, and in this knowledge is virtue 287 2, 1 | the ground of humility, in which it is planted, which 288 2, 1 | means this tree remains in the perpetual calm of discretion. 289 2, 1 | if it were not planted in the virtue of humility, 290 2, 1 | one his due. Chiefly to Me in rendering praise and glory 291 2, 1 | and glory to My Name, and in referring to Me the graces 292 2, 1 | benefits, and negligent, in that she has not made the 293 2, 1 | were this humility not in the soul, the soul would 294 2, 1 | mysteries, with which I work in her soul and in those of 295 2, 1 | which I work in her soul and in those of My other creatures; 296 2, 1 | creatures; wherefore everything in Me and in her neighbor is 297 2, 1 | wherefore everything in Me and in her neighbor is cause of 298 2, 1 | Whatever rank a man be in, whether that of a noble, 299 2, 1 | together, and both planted in the ground of humility which 300 2, 2 | joined to its side, grew in the center of the circle. 301 2, 2 | circle. The tree is nourished in the earth contained in the 302 2, 2 | nourished in the earth contained in the diameter of the circle, 303 2, 2 | no fruit. Now, consider, in the same way, that the soul 304 2, 2 | that if this soul have not in very truth the divine love 305 2, 2 | of the soul, should grow in, and issue from the circle 306 2, 2 | self-knowledge which is contained in Me, who have neither beginning 307 2, 2 | yourself and of Me is found in the earth of true humility, 308 2, 2 | would have its beginning in knowledge of self, and its 309 2, 2 | knowledge of self, and its end in confusion, if this knowledge 310 2, 2 | knowledge were not contained in Me). Then the tree of love 311 2, 2 | off-shoot of true discretion, in the way that I have already 312 2, 2 | affection of love which is in the soul, and the patience, 313 2, 2 | which proves that I am in the soul and the soul in 314 2, 2 | in the soul and the soul in Me. This tree then, so sweetly 315 2, 2 | In this way, therefore, she 316 2, 3 | the light of discretion in various other modes and 317 2, 3 | proving, namely, of virtue in the time of need. And yet 318 2, 3 | replied to you, speaking in your mind, 'I take delight 319 2, 3 | your mind, 'I take delight in few words and many works.' 320 2, 3 | soul, all of which must be in activity in order to obtain 321 2, 3 | which must be in activity in order to obtain fruits worthy 322 2, 3 | of the soul were placed in penance, I should receive 323 2, 3 | and brings forth virtue in truth; that is, unless the 324 2, 3 | with the affection or love, in which case it would be grateful 325 2, 3 | foundation should be placed in penance only, or in any 326 2, 3 | placed in penance only, or in any exterior corporal act, 327 2, 3 | finite, since they are done in finite time, and also because 328 2, 3 | taught you when he said in his epistle, that you should 329 2, 3 | be dead and annihilated in everything, and subject 330 2, 3 | off all self-love founded in self-will. These then are 331 2, 3 | but manifold works, and in these I take delight. And 332 2, 3 | affection of the soul, founded in love, which gives life to 333 2, 3 | and not as a principal end in themselves. ~ 334 2, 3 | penances, and gives himself in excess to the slaying of 335 2, 3 | for otherwise he would be in an evil case, who, from 336 2, 3 | penance. Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, 337 2, 3 | the contrary, is ordered in certain conditions.
