As 635 2, 26 | the working of virtue. As in the mirror is represented 636 2, 26 | the face of the man, so in the body is represented 637 2, 26 | the fruit of bodily toils, in the way that I have told 638 2, 26 | each one being wrapped up in diverse filth of earth, 639 2, 26 | disordinately, and the burning in the fire; the cruel one 640 2, 26 | principle of every evil, in company with pride. So that 641 2, 26 | together will be punished in diverse ways. Thus miserably 642 2, 27 | temptations, and how every soul in her extremity sees her final 643 2, 27 | offended Me. And I have set him in this life to tempt and molest 644 2, 27 | strength of will, fortified in the Blood of my Son, which 645 2, 27 | which, if you place it in the hands of the Devil, 646 2, 27 | injured by the guilt of sin in any temptation, but will 647 2, 27 | more perfectly acquired in the time of temptation, 648 2, 27 | would flee; and he knows Me in his will, which is fortified 649 2, 27 | Minister to torture the damned in Hell, and in this life, 650 2, 27 | the damned in Hell, and in this life, to exercise and 651 2, 27 | exercise and prove virtue in the soul. Not that it is 652 2, 27 | the Devil to prove virtue in you (for he has not love), 653 2, 27 | is the foolishness of men in making themselves feeble, 654 2, 27 | have made them strong, and in putting themselves into 655 2, 27 | hate, surges up to them in the extremity of death, 656 2, 27 | righteous, who have lived in charity and died in love, 657 2, 27 | lived in charity and died in love, if they have lived 658 2, 27 | they have lived perfectly in virtue, illuminated with 659 2, 27 | faith, with perfect hope in the Blood of the Lamb, when 660 2, 27 | an ordinary charity (not in that great perfection), 661 2, 27 | those perfect ones, but, in them, it is imperfect, for, 662 2, 27 | waits for judgment, but, in departing this life, they 663 2, 27 | pretense of good, because in no other way could he catch 664 2, 27 | those who drown themselves in the river, and who care 665 2, 27 | you know, I showed you in the beginning of your life, 666 2, 27 | to a mountain of Lolla, in which you figured to yourself 667 2, 27 | appears to man to stand in the way of following the 668 2, 28 | have narrated to you, who, in this life, taste the earnest 669 2, 28 | to see Me, she sees Me, in which vision is her bliss; 670 2, 28 | Supreme and Eternal Good, and, in tasting Me, she is satisfied, 671 2, 28 | are blessed principally in seeing and in knowing Me, 672 2, 28 | principally in seeing and in knowing Me, in which vision 673 2, 28 | seeing and in knowing Me, in which vision and knowledge 674 2, 28 | life consisted especially in having that which the will 675 2, 28 | that the will is satisfied in seeing and knowing Me, as 676 2, 28 | Me, as I have told you. In this life then, they taste 677 2, 28 | have they the earnest money in this present life? I reply 678 2, 28 | reply to you, they have it in seeing My goodness in themselves, 679 2, 28 | it in seeing My goodness in themselves, and in the knowledge 680 2, 28 | goodness in themselves, and in the knowledge of My Truth, 681 2, 28 | of the soul) illuminated in Me, possesses. This eye 682 2, 28 | hidden it. Thus you see, that in seeing they know, and in 683 2, 28 | in seeing they know, and in knowing they love, and in 684 2, 28 | in knowing they love, and in loving they deny and lose 685 2, 28 | they clothe themselves in Mine, and I will nothing 686 2, 28 | deeming themselves favored in having tribulation for My 687 2, 28 | temptations to prove them in virtue, as I told you above, 688 2, 28 | with their will fortified in Me, humiliating themselves, 689 2, 28 | because I wish to punish them in this life, and in this finite 690 2, 28 | punish them in this life, and in this finite time; they drive 691 2, 28 | they know that all labor in this life is small, on account 692 2, 28 | the earnest money of it in this life, and that, though 693 2, 28 | was to be found, that is in the Word, My only-begotten 694 2, 29 | How this soul was in great bitterness, on account 695 2, 29 | those who are drowned below in the river. ~ 696 2, 29 | the great goodness of God, in having placed nothing in 697 2, 29 | in having placed nothing in this life, no matter in 698 2, 29 | in this life, no matter in what condition, that could 699 2, 29 | exercising and proving of virtue in them. And, notwithstanding 700 2, 29 | damnation, and many who were in the river and had begun 701 2, 29 | And, for this, she was in bitterness, and fixing the 702 2, 29 | the three steps figured in the Body of Your only Son, 703 2, 30 | the three steps figured in the Bridge, that is, in 704 2, 30 | in the Bridge, that is, in the Son of GOD, signify 705 2, 30 | Bridge. And, although above, in relating to you the delusion 706 2, 30 | blindness of men, tasting in this life the earnest-money 707 2, 30 | that every evil is founded in self-love, and that self-love 708 2, 30 | reason, which reason holds in itself the light of faith, 709 2, 30 | other. The soul I created in My image and similitude, 710 2, 30 | and the soul is nourished in the life of grace. ~ 711 2, 30 | has fallen through sin. In the dignity of her being 712 2, 30 | which I created her, and, in contemplating her misery, 713 2, 30 | affection nourishes itself in love, opening the mouth 714 2, 30 | soul exercises perfection in herself, as I will tell 715 2, 30 | off from Me; you have also in you the law of perversity, 716 2, 30 | You have, then, two parts in you -- sensuality and reason. 717 2, 30 | free choice, her powers in My Name, then are assembled 718 2, 30 | I, then, by grace, rest in the midst of them; and this 719 2, 30 | or more gathered together in My name, there am I in the 720 2, 30 | together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.' And 721 2, 31 | figure of the three steps, in general, as the three powers 722 2, 31 | life, you must persevere in virtue, and if you would 723 2, 31 | death, you must persevere in vice. Thus it is with perseverance 724 2, 32 | all invited, generally and in particular, by My Truth, 725 2, 32 | My Truth, when He cried in the Temple, saying: 'Whosoever 726 2, 32 | He spoke thus, because in Me, the Father, there can 727 2, 32 | there can be no pain, but in My Son there can be pain. 728 2, 32 | are pilgrims and wayfarers in this mortal life, cannot 729 2, 32 | follows His doctrine, whether in the most perfect way or 730 2, 32 | perfect way or by dwelling in the life of common charity, 731 2, 32 | you, finding yourselves in Him, find yourselves also 732 2, 32 | Him, find yourselves also in Me, who am the Sea Pacific, 733 2, 32 | mortal life without pain, and in Me, the Father, there can 734 2, 32 | there can be no pain, but in Him there can be pain, and 735 2, 32 | except by Him, as He told you in the words: 'No one can come 736 2, 32 | crown of glory and victory in the life everlasting." ~ 737 2, 33 | steps, which you must climb in order to issue from the 738 2, 33 | and to desire My Presence in the midst of you. For in 739 2, 33 | in the midst of you. For in this way, in which you should 740 2, 33 | of you. For in this way, in which you should follow, 741 2, 33 | you should follow, I am in your midst, reposing, by 742 2, 33 | midst, reposing, by grace, in your souls. In order to 743 2, 33 | by grace, in your souls. In order to have desire to 744 2, 33 | a companion, I cannot be in the midst; this is no indifferent 745 2, 33 | for he who is wrapped up in self-love is solitary. ~ 746 2, 33 | solitary, that is, who is alone in self-love, is not mentioned 747 2, 33 | or more gathered together in My name, I will be in the 748 2, 33 | together in My name, I will be in the midst of them.' I said 749 2, 33 | are completely contained in two, and if these two are 750 2, 33 | cannot be gathered together in My Name, without three, 751 2, 33 | your intellect, so that, in Him, you behold the fire 752 2, 33 | are congregated together in My Name, I am in the midst 753 2, 33 | together in My Name, I am in the midst of them by grace, 754 2, 33 | Christ crucified, mirrored in cordial love of Me, for 755 2, 33 | gathered together by his reason in My Name. And his soul, having 756 2, 33 | walks safely because I am in the midst of her. Wherefore 757 2, 33 | after the way of Truth, in which way he finds the Fountain 758 2, 33 | of Life, finding himself in Me, the Sea Pacific." ~ 759 2, 34 | this devoted soul looking in the Divine mirror saw the 760 2, 34 | saw the creatures going in diverse ways. ~ 761 2, 34 | out to attain their end in diverse ways and with diverse 762 2, 35 | because the law is founded in love and holy fear. The 763 2, 35 | only-begotten Son, and is founded in love alone. The new law 764 2, 35 | of old given and ordained in the law of Moses. ~ 765 2, 35 | the person punish himself in this life with perfect contrition. 766 2, 35 | perfect contrition. For, in the other life, the soul 767 2, 36 | How, by exercising oneself in servile fear, which is the 768 2, 36 | perseverance they will succeed in doing so. But there are 769 2, 37 | pleasure which they find in Me, is imperfect. Do you 770 2, 37 | consolations which they found in Me, and the insufficiency 771 2, 37 | weak when, on occasion, in order to exercise them in 772 2, 37 | in order to exercise them in virtue and raise them above 773 2, 37 | no grace, and accordingly in time of battle fly to Me, 774 2, 37 | unwound it she would see that, in truth, everything proceeds 775 2, 37 | of My only-begotten Son, in which they are washed from 776 2, 37 | enabled to know My Truth, how, in order to give them eternal 777 2, 37 | eternal life, I created them in My image and likeness and 778 2, 37 | their neighbor. Thus, those in the first state come to 779 2, 37 | enduring pain, and those in the second, because they 780 2, 37 | every person is first called in this way, but this is because 781 2, 37 | for herself, or, at least, in the moment of death, recognizing 782 2, 37 | spoken, but while they remain in the state of mercenary love, 783 2, 37 | motions of servile fear in their heart, and to correct 784 2, 37 | to them, as My Truth said in these words: 'He who loves 785 2, 37 | for though they are two in body, yet they are one in 786 2, 37 | in body, yet they are one in soul through the affection 787 2, 38 | Of the way in which GOD manifests Himself 788 2, 38 | to the soul who loves Me in truth, and follows the doctrine 789 2, 38 | sweet and amorous Word? In many is My virtue manifested 790 2, 38 | is My virtue manifested in the soul in proportion to 791 2, 38 | virtue manifested in the soul in proportion to her desire, 792 2, 38 | of My love and charity in the soul, is made through 793 2, 38 | Word of My Son, and shown in the Blood, which He spilled 794 2, 38 | this charity is manifested in two ways; first, in general, 795 2, 38 | manifested in two ways; first, in general, to ordinary people, 796 2, 38 | that is to those who live in the ordinary grace of God. 797 2, 38 | who have become My friends in the way mentioned above, 798 2, 38 | manifestation, however, is in men themselves; they manifesting 799 2, 38 | holy desires, and Myself in the soul in that precise 800 2, 38 | and Myself in the soul in that precise degree of perfection 801 2, 38 | perfection which she seeks in Me. Sometimes I manifest 802 2, 38 | of the future. This I do in many and diverse ways, according 803 2, 38 | according as I see need in the soul herself and in 804 2, 38 | in the soul herself and in other creatures. At other 805 2, 38 | takes place. I then form in the mind the presence of 806 2, 38 | My only- begotten Son, in many ways, according to 807 2, 38 | Sometimes she seeks Me in prayer, wishing to know 808 2, 38 | Sometimes she seeks Me in the wisdom of My Son, and 809 2, 38 | her intellect, sometimes in the clemency of the Holy 810 2, 39 | said the truth, because, in manifesting Himself, He 811 2, 39 | He manifested Me, and, in manifesting Me, He manifested 812 2, 39 | you'? For three reasons in particular. First, because 813 2, 39 | second reason was because, in manifesting Himself to you, 814 2, 39 | according to what I told you in the treatise of the Resurrection, 815 2, 39 | the Word, My Son, veiled in the flesh of your humanity. 816 2, 39 | manifest myself to you, for in this manifestation of Himself, 817 2, 39 | impossible for you, while yet in the mortal body, and because 818 2, 40 | the three steps figured in the Body of My Son. I have 819 2, 40 | arrives at being a friend. In the beginning, a man serves 820 2, 40 | his own delight and profit in Me. This is a necessary 821 2, 40 | must persevere, and remain in the cellar of self-knowledge 822 2, 40 | cellar of self-knowledge in which he will learn My mercy, 823 2, 40 | he will learn My mercy, in the Blood of My only-begotten 824 2, 40 | charity, exercising himself in the extirpation of his perverse 825 2, 40 | temporal, hiding himself in his own house, as did Peter, 826 2, 40 | My Truth returned to Me, in His humanity, Peter and 827 2, 40 | others concealed themselves in the house, awaiting the 828 2, 40 | them. They remained barred in from fear, because the soul 829 2, 40 | when they had persevered in fasting and in humble and 830 2, 40 | persevered in fasting and in humble and continual prayer, 831 2, 40 | consideration of My mercy, in which contemplation, she 832 2, 40 | imperfect state, and I, in order to develop perfection 833 2, 40 | order to develop perfection in the soul, after the forty 834 2, 40 | Myself from time to time, not in grace but in feeling. My 835 2, 40 | to time, not in grace but in feeling. My Truth showed 836 2, 40 | was said primarily, and in particular, to the disciples, 837 2, 40 | disciples, but referred in general to the whole present 838 2, 40 | Son. Now, as I told you, in order to raise the soul 839 2, 40 | consolations. When she was in the guilt of mortal sin, 840 2, 40 | by sentiment, which I do in order to humiliate her, 841 2, 40 | and cause her to seek Me in truth, and to prove her 842 2, 40 | truth, and to prove her in the light of faith, so that 843 2, 40 | sensuality, she rejoices in the time of trouble, deeming 844 2, 40 | perseveres with humility in her exercises, remaining 845 2, 40 | exercises, remaining barred in the house of self-knowledge, 846 2, 40 | How does she await me? Not in idleness, but in watching 847 2, 40 | me? Not in idleness, but in watching and continued prayer, 848 2, 40 | which is certified to her in the Blood of My Son. As 849 2, 40 | This is what the soul does in order to rise from imperfection 850 2, 40 | imperfect love to turn again in its death-struggle, but, 851 2, 41 | keep his vessel standing in the fountain, while he drinks, 852 2, 41 | temporal, should be drunk in Me, without any self-regarding 853 2, 41 | My love. Therefore to Me, in person, you cannot repay 854 2, 41 | you, and I have placed you in the midst of your fellows, 855 2, 41 | that Paul persecuted Him in His faithful. This love 856 2, 41 | another loved more than he. In these and in many other 857 2, 41 | more than he. In these and in many other ways can it be 858 2, 41 | vessel out of the water, in order to drink from it. 859 2, 41 | exist, so that the soul may in this way come to the knowledge 860 2, 41 | thus led to enclose herself in the house of self-knowledge, 861 2, 41 | more knowledge of My Truth, in proportion to the degree 862 2, 41 | proportion to the degree in which she refers to grace 863 2, 41 | virtues, cemented together in the Blood of Christ crucified, 864 2, 41 | of His Blood, for it is in virtue of this Blood that 865 3, 1 | remains, with her door barred, in watching and constant prayer, 866 3, 1 | does she thus shut herself in? She does so from fear, 867 3, 1 | sees and knows well that in no other way can she arrive 868 3, 1 | through increase of grace in her. How is a lively faith 869 3, 1 | recognized? By perseverance in virtue, and by the fact 870 3, 1 | Devil is wont to arrive in the soul, causing much more 871 3, 1 | the soul is not occupied in prayer. This he does in 872 3, 1 | in prayer. This he does in order that holy prayer may 873 3, 1 | vocal prayers.' He acts thus in order that, becoming wearied 874 3, 1 | becoming wearied and confused in mind, she may abandon the 875 3, 1 | by the arm of free choice in the light of the Holy Faith." ~ 876 3, 2 | Me is holy prayer, made in the house of knowledge of 877 3, 2 | Sacrament [which is placed in the tavern of the mystical 878 3, 2 | love, which is to be tasted in the Blood which, as the 879 3, 2 | Where can this be acquired? In the house of self-knowledge 880 3, 2 | disciples, while they remained in watching and prayer, lost 881 3, 2 | devout attention and love in merely vocal recitation, 882 3, 2 | not required to do, for, in doing only this, she bears 883 3, 2 | should nevertheless continue in vocal prayer, while she 884 3, 2 | endeavor to elevate her mind in My love, with the consideration 885 3, 2 | her recognize My goodness in herself and continue her 886 3, 2 | defects to be considered in particular, but in general, 887 3, 2 | considered in particular, but in general, so that the mind 888 3, 2 | consider her sins, either in general or in particular, 889 3, 2 | sins, either in general or in particular, without also 890 3, 2 | deludes My servants, and, in order to escape from his 891 3, 2 | your hearts and affections in My boundless mercy, with 892 3, 2 | you rose, humbly trusting in My mercy, and saying: 'I 893 3, 2 | life has indeed been passed in darkness, but I will hide 894 3, 2 | but I will hide myself in the wounds of Christ crucified, 895 3, 2 | crucified, and bathe myself in His Blood and so shall my 896 3, 2 | with desire will I rejoice in my Creator.' You remember 897 3, 2 | sinned and was sanctified in his mother's womb. And I 898 3, 2 | resist your humble hope in My goodness, said to you: ' 899 3, 2 | visiting her mind sometimes in one way, and sometimes in 900 3, 2 | in one way, and sometimes in another, in a flash of self-knowledge 901 3, 2 | and sometimes in another, in a flash of self-knowledge 902 3, 2 | contrition for sin, sometimes in the broadness of My charity, 903 3, 2 | placing before her mind, in diverse ways, according 904 3, 2 | My Truth, she (the soul), in order to complete her tale, 905 3, 2 | She should not do so, for, in so doing, she yields to 906 3, 2 | disposed by My visitation, in the many ways I have told 907 3, 2 | office be not omitted. But, in any other case, vocal prayer 908 3, 2 | cause. Vocal prayer, made in the way that I have told 909 3, 2 | not abandon it, but use it in the way that I have told 910 3, 2 | And so, with exercise in perseverance, she will taste 911 3, 2 | perseverance, she will taste prayer in truth, and the food of the 912 3, 2 | that is, they communicate in the affection of charity, 913 3, 2 | from herself, and fasten it in Me with the light of the 914 3, 2 | prayer can be understood in many and diverse ways, for 915 3, 2 | desire is a continual prayer, in this sense that a good and 916 3, 2 | actually appointed for prayer in addition to the continual 917 3, 2 | the soul who remains firm in a habitual holy will, and 918 3, 2 | if the soul see him to be in need, and also her own necessities 919 3, 2 | necessities according to the state in which I have placed her. 920 3, 2 | standard-bearer Paul said, in the words, 'He who ceases 921 3, 2 | you that prayer was made in many ways, that is, that 922 3, 2 | that is, of vocal prayer in general, made outside of 923 3, 2 | exercise, whether performed in oneself or in one's neighbor, 924 3, 2 | performed in oneself or in one's neighbor, with good-will, 925 3, 2 | love Me and her neighbor in proportion to the pleasure 926 3, 2 | pleasure which she finds in My service." ~ 927 3, 3 | Hitherto I have shown you in many ways how the soul raises 928 3, 3 | from this hatred, founded in humility, she will draw 929 3, 3 | sometimes the soul who lives in holy hatred corrects and 930 3, 3 | but also for things that in reality come from Me, which 931 3, 3 | should await My Providence in the House of Self-Knowledge, 932 3, 3 | disciples, who remained in the house in perseverance 933 3, 3 | who remained in the house in perseverance and in watching, 934 3, 3 | house in perseverance and in watching, and in humble 935 3, 3 | perseverance and in watching, and in humble and continual prayer, 936 3, 3 | because she will know herself in humble and continual prayer 937 3, 4 | soul, who has awaited Me in self-knowledge as I have 938 3, 4 | with the fire of charity, in which charity, while still 939 3, 4 | charity, while still remaining in the house with perseverance, 940 3, 4 | affection of love, participating in My power; with which power 941 3, 4 | charity she participates in the wisdom of My Son, in 942 3, 4 | in the wisdom of My Son, in which she sees and knows, 943 3, 4 | Spirit, she participates in His will, fortifying her 944 3, 4 | Self-Knowledge, but that, in the time of the neighbor' 945 3, 4 | which is a perfect state, in which they taste charity 946 3, 5 | Father, as they do who are in imperfect love and do not 947 3, 5 | delight which they find in Me. But they, as if drunken 948 3, 5 | steps, figured to you as in the Body of My only Son, 949 3, 5 | and kneading her together in the Blood. Where did the 950 3, 5 | know of this her dignity, in being kneaded and united 951 3, 5 | Lamb, receiving the grace in Holy Baptism, in virtue 952 3, 5 | the grace in Holy Baptism, in virtue of the Blood? In 953 3, 5 | in virtue of the Blood? In the Side, where she knew 954 3, 5 | water, which is received in virtue of the Blood. I also 955 3, 5 | showed the baptism of love in two ways, first in those 956 3, 5 | love in two ways, first in those who are baptized in 957 3, 5 | in those who are baptized in their blood, shed for Me, 958 3, 5 | have Holy Baptism, and also in those who are baptized in 959 3, 5 | in those who are baptized in fire, not being able to 960 3, 5 | because the Blood is steeped in and kneaded with the fire 961 3, 5 | he drew from Holy Baptism in virtue of the Blood, it 962 3, 5 | Divine charity provided in the Sacrament of Holy Confession, 963 3, 5 | the Blood, sprinkling It, in absolution, upon the face 964 3, 5 | Blood. It is true that, in the last extremity, a man, 965 3, 5 | arrange his deeds, that, in the hope of receiving it, 966 3, 5 | may not be able to do so. In which case, it is not at 967 3, 5 | I shall not say to him, in My Divine Justice: 'You 968 3, 5 | You did not remember Me in the time of your life, when 969 3, 5 | will I not remember you in your death.' ~ 970 3, 5 | of them which you receive in Baptism, through Me, are 971 3, 5 | Me, are infinite. This is in virtue of the infinite Divine 972 3, 5 | human nature endures pain in Me, the Word, clothed with 973 3, 5 | the one nature is steeped in and united with the other, 974 3, 5 | future. This I manifested in the opening of My Side, 975 3, 5 | the soul is steeped. And, in order to show this, it was 976 3, 6 | of My Name, not so much in the angelic nature as in 977 3, 6 | in the angelic nature as in the human, for, whether 978 3, 6 | Name, not that they do so in the way they should, loving 979 3, 6 | but that My mercy shines in them, in that, in the abundance 980 3, 6 | My mercy shines in them, in that, in the abundance of 981 3, 6 | shines in them, in that, in the abundance of My charity, 982 3, 6 | to move above them. And in all things created and made 983 3, 6 | goods of heaven. So that in worldly men My mercy and 984 3, 6 | servants; for they prove in them the virtues of patience 985 3, 7 | just spoken, are placed in this life in order to augment 986 3, 7 | are placed in this life in order to augment virtues 987 3, 7 | order to augment virtues in My servants, as the devils 988 3, 7 | servants, as the devils are in Hell as My justiciars and 989 3, 7 | the augmenters of My Glory in My creatures, who are wayfarers 990 3, 7 | their End. They augment in them the virtues in diverse 991 3, 7 | augment in them the virtues in diverse ways, exercising 992 3, 7 | deprive them of charity. But in thinking to deprive My servants, 993 3, 7 | they fortify them, proving in them the virtues of patience, 994 3, 7 | and My Truth is fulfilled in them, which Truth created 995 3, 7 | that they might participate in My beauty. But, rebelling 996 3, 7 | But, rebelling against Me in their pride, they fell and 997 3, 7 | to exercise My servants in virtue in this life and 998 3, 7 | exercise My servants in virtue in this life and as justiciars 999 3, 7 | that My Truth is fulfilled in them, that is, that they 1000 3, 7 | the damned, and upon those in Purgatory." ~
