1001 3, 22 | body of the holy Church, that this truth given to me, 1002 3, 22 | pray You, Sweetest Love, that not one of them may be taken 1003 3, 22 | of the infernal Devil, so that at last they may arrive 1004 3, 22 | my conversion until now, that You unite them, and of two 1005 3, 22 | bodies make one soul, and that they attend to nothing else 1006 3, 22 | themselves, and in the mysteries that You have placed in their 1007 3, 22 | salvation of souls, and that I, an unworthy and miserable 1008 3, 22 | for love of You, in a way that will be to Your honor, and 1009 3, 22 | certain, Eternal Truth, that You will not despise the 1010 3, 22 | desire of the petitions that I have made to You, because 1011 3, 22 | and still more from proof, that You are the Acceptor of 1012 3, 22 | holy Church, to the effect that You would speak to me more 1013 3, 22 | salvation; for I remember that You said, that, on account 1014 3, 22 | remember that You said, that, on account of the endurance 1015 3, 22 | I ask You this in order that these sentiments may increase 1016 3, 23 | in this request, in order that, on your side, you may not 1017 3, 23 | whom you spoke to Me, know that you are, in truth, a means 1018 3, 23 | be humble, shall receive that which he is fit to receive; 1019 3, 23 | receive; and every minister, that which I have given him to 1020 3, 24 | Now I will reply to that which you asked Me concerning 1021 3, 24 | holy Church, and, in order that you may the better understand 1022 3, 24 | Deity with human nature; so that in this you have greater 1023 3, 24 | your human nature and not that of the angels. Wherefore, 1024 3, 24 | sake of your salvation, so that, through them, the Blood 1025 3, 24 | True Sun, in such a way that He cannot be separated or 1026 3, 24 | forming one and the same Sun; that is to say, I, the Eternal 1027 3, 24 | I, the Eternal God, am that Sun whence have proceeded 1028 3, 24 | receive the light of grace, so that they may administer this 1029 3, 24 | only-begotten Son. This is that Light, which has the color 1030 3, 24 | body of the holy Church, so that you may have life, receiving 1031 3, 24 | drink. I have said to you that this Body is, as it were, 1032 3, 24 | to you in another place that the Divine nature never 1033 3, 24 | from any other cause. So that you receive the whole Divine 1034 3, 24 | whole Divine Essence in that most Sweet Sacrament concealed 1035 3, 24 | person has it all. It is true that everyone participates more 1036 3, 24 | develop this metaphor further that you may the better understand 1037 3, 24 | better understand Me. Suppose that there are many who bring 1038 3, 24 | small, is the whole light, that is to say, the heat, the 1039 3, 24 | nevertheless you would judge that he whose candle weighs an 1040 3, 24 | carries his own candle, that is the holy desire, with 1041 3, 24 | catches this Divine Flame, that is to say, the Holy Faith, 1042 3, 24 | Me, so fitted for love, that, without love, which is 1043 3, 24 | of My Truth. It is true that the soul becomes more or 1044 3, 24 | and the same material, in that you are all created to My 1045 3, 24 | as may please you. Not that you change the form of what 1046 3, 24 | what I have given you, but that you increase your strength 1047 3, 24 | can no longer do so. So that you can increase in love, 1048 3, 24 | participate in this light, that is in the grace which you 1049 3, 24 | does not remain by grace in that soul, but leaves her, and, 1050 3, 24 | of the Light Itself, for that can receive no hurt, but 1051 3, 24 | on account of the water that was in the soul, which impeded 1052 3, 24 | her proper disposition so that she could not receive the 1053 3, 24 | the Light. See, therefore, that in no way can this Light, 1054 3, 24 | the metaphor of the light, that, if all the world came to 1055 3, 25 | it is, with the latter, that one must see, taste, and 1056 3, 25 | from Me, the special Gift that she receives in the Sacrament. ~ 1057 3, 25 | the savor of the bread, so that the grosser bodily sentiments 1058 3, 25 | unless she wish to be -- that is, unless she let the light 1059 3, 25 | faith. This eye sees in that whiteness whole God and 1060 3, 25 | enlightenment in the battle that the Devil had been waging 1061 3, 25 | You know that you went one morning to 1062 3, 25 | worthy to hear Mass, seeing that you deemed yourself unworthy 1063 3, 25 | stand the light, and in that place you saw and tasted 1064 3, 25 | concealed and veiled in that whiteness that you saw in 1065 3, 25 | veiled in that whiteness that you saw in the bread; and 1066 3, 25 | bread; and you perceived that the seeing of the Light 1067 3, 25 | prevent the other vision, that is to say, the sight of 1068 3, 25 | hand alone can you touch that which the eye of the intellect 1069 3, 25 | if to certify to herself that which she has seen and known 1070 3, 25 | and Man. See, therefore, that the perceptions of the body 1071 3, 25 | touches with the hand of love that which the eye of her intellect 1072 3, 25 | and with her palate -- that is, with fiery desire -- 1073 3, 25 | therein. See, therefore, that you should receive and look 1074 3, 25 | disposing your soul in the way that has been said, to receive, 1075 3, 26 | Me -- the Sea Pacific. In that soul grace dwells, for, 1076 3, 26 | Sacrament remains in the soul, that is to say, the heat of My 1077 3, 26 | the world. You see then that the imprint remains, when 1078 3, 26 | seal has been taken away, that is, when the material accidents 1079 3, 26 | returned to Its Center, not that it was ever really separated 1080 3, 26 | pilgrims and travelers, so that you may have refreshment, 1081 3, 27 | Sacrament, have been said that we might know better the 1082 3, 27 | this, dearest daughter, that you may the better recognize 1083 3, 27 | called My ministers, so that your grief at their miseries 1084 3, 27 | offenses against Me, but also, that, if they gave their bodies 1085 3, 27 | demand purity and charity, that they should love Me and 1086 3, 27 | souls of their neighbors, in that they do not give them an 1087 3, 27 | Sacraments of the holy Church. So that, in being cruel to themselves, 1088 3, 28 | holy Church, the Light, that is to say, the Body and 1089 3, 28 | which preserves it, and, in that light, he knows the misery 1090 3, 28 | misery and the reason of sin, that is to say, his own self-love, 1091 3, 28 | Blood. You see, therefore, that no one can receive the light 1092 3, 28 | affection follows it, loving that which the intellect sees 1093 3, 28 | the memory is filled with that which the affection loves; 1094 3, 28 | Holy Spirit. See, then, that these have taken on them 1095 3, 28 | administer Me, the Sun, that is to say, the Body and 1096 3, 28 | privation of charity. So you see that they are the Sun, because 1097 3, 28 | your sheep, having willed that He should give His life 1098 3, 28 | this justice was and is that pearl which shines in them, 1099 3, 28 | unity of hearts. And I would that you know that, more darkness 1100 3, 28 | And I would that you know that, more darkness and division 1101 3, 28 | the congregation in order that he corrupt not the other 1102 3, 28 | act like blind ones, in that they see not the real way 1103 3, 28 | If they would only see that it is by holy justice they 1104 3, 28 | example of life. So you see that they are angels, placed 1105 3, 28 | to be your guardians, so that you blind ones may have 1106 3, 28 | And they scarcely observed that which they were really bound 1107 3, 28 | were really bound to do, that is, to distribute the temporal 1108 3, 28 | charity, and of the hope that they had placed in My Providence, 1109 3, 28 | were without servile fear that anything should diminish 1110 3, 28 | The sign that a creature hopes in Me and 1111 3, 28 | Me and not in himself, is that he does not fear with a 1112 3, 28 | preserving temporal things, that they turn their back on 1113 3, 28 | proud ones consider not that I alone am He who provides 1114 3, 28 | the soul and the body, and that with the same measure that 1115 3, 28 | that with the same measure that My creatures hope in Me, 1116 3, 28 | ones do not regard the fact that I am He who is, and they 1117 3, 28 | are they who are not, and that they have received their 1118 3, 28 | alone keep it. It is true that I desire you to use your 1119 3, 28 | love hoped so greatly in Me that they feared nothing. Sylvester 1120 3, 28 | lively faith he believed that I being for him, no one 1121 3, 28 | clemency and burning love of that Spirit. ~ 1122 3, 28 | until death. So you see that because they were not alone 1123 3, 28 | by the virtue and power that I had given My servants 1124 3, 28 | in everlasting life, and that all will receive who follow 1125 3, 28 | those who were infirm, so that they might not be overcome 1126 3, 28 | especially when they had seen that it had appeared particularly 1127 3, 28 | the penitent. Wherefore by that act the difficulty became 1128 3, 28 | wounds of their neighbor, that is the wounds of the guilt 1129 3, 29 | is only a sample of what that excellence really is), and 1130 3, 29 | ministers of the Sun -- that is of the Body and Blood 1131 3, 29 | in a condition of light, that is to say, they illuminate 1132 3, 29 | See, then, that besides the dignity to which 1133 3, 29 | Sacrament, and by reason of that very virtue and dignity 1134 3, 29 | miserably in sin, but not on that account appoint yourselves 1135 3, 29 | given them. You know well that if a filthy and badly dressed 1136 3, 29 | through love of his master that he should be cleansed from 1137 3, 29 | bring you great Treasures -- that is to say, the Sacraments 1138 3, 29 | you, and through love of that life of grace which you 1139 3, 29 | God and the whole of Man, that is to say, the Body and 1140 3, 29 | foulness with your tears -- that is to say, that you should 1141 3, 29 | tears -- that is to say, that you should offer them before 1142 3, 29 | tears and great desire, that I may re-clothe them in 1143 3, 29 | garment of charity. Know well that I wish to do them grace, 1144 3, 29 | not according to My will that they should administer to 1145 3, 29 | themselves in darkness, not that they should be stripped 1146 3, 29 | said. It not being My will that they should be in this state, 1147 3, 30 | death of a just man and that of a sinner, and first of 1148 3, 30 | detail on this point (so that you may have greater compassion 1149 3, 30 | For I wish you to know that all the sufferings which 1150 3, 30 | endure no suffering, not that they would have no labors 1151 3, 30 | would have no labors on that account, but because labors 1152 3, 30 | gladly endures them, seeing that they are ordained by My 1153 3, 30 | friend or enemy. To a friend, that is to say, to virtue and 1154 3, 30 | solicitude; to an enemy, that is to say, to vice and wicked 1155 3, 30 | he struck his enemies; so that at the point of death his 1156 3, 30 | It is true that a just soul, through humility, 1157 3, 30 | he lived in the memory of that Blood, so in death he is 1158 3, 30 | drowned in the same. How is it that the devils cannot reprove 1159 3, 30 | Wherefore the devils, seeing that the soul has entered into 1160 3, 30 | their shouts cannot hurt that soul, who already is beginning 1161 3, 30 | virtuous living, the light, that is, of holy science, by 1162 3, 30 | reply, yes it is possible that he may attain to it, but 1163 3, 30 | trust in themselves, in that they did not hope in their 1164 3, 30 | pearls of the virtues -- that is, of the fruit which love 1165 3, 30 | angel! happy you are in that you have not been ungrateful 1166 3, 30 | Scripture they know them, so that they do not cause them darkness 1167 3, 31 | you know is so horrible that the creature would rather 1168 3, 31 | would rather choose any pain that can be suffered in this 1169 3, 31 | the sting of conscience that it gnaws him horribly. The 1170 3, 31 | then he knows the truth of that which at first he knew not, 1171 3, 31 | incarnate wretch did not see that all was counted to him with 1172 3, 31 | to him with interest, and that as a debtor he would have 1173 3, 31 | And I tell you that so great is that shame and 1174 3, 31 | tell you that so great is that shame and confusion that 1175 3, 31 | that shame and confusion that unless in their life they 1176 3, 31 | habit of hoping in My mercy, that is, have taken the milk 1177 3, 31 | for you cannot truly say that he who strikes Me with the 1178 3, 31 | presumption taken away, so that he offends no more, there 1179 3, 31 | not grant them this, so that they should offend Me by 1180 3, 31 | of My mercy, but rather that they should dilate themselves 1181 3, 31 | keep them in this hope so that at the last moment they 1182 3, 31 | damnation. See, therefore, that this sin alone leads him 1183 3, 31 | it greatly displeases Me that they should consider their 1184 3, 31 | Despair is that sin which is pardoned neither 1185 3, 31 | despair displeases Me so much that I wish them to hope in My 1186 3, 31 | Devil, reproving them in that they should have used the 1187 3, 31 | and love of virtue, and that time which I gave them through 1188 3, 31 | placed in your hands in order that you might gain more with 1189 3, 31 | to give their servants, that is to say, confusion and 1190 3, 31 | bring you to despair, so that at the moment of death you 1191 3, 31 | they try to confuse you, so that afterwards when you are 1192 3, 31 | and you know to your shame that you have held and used in 1193 3, 31 | substance of the holy Church, that you see yourself to be a 1194 3, 31 | conscience represents to you that you have spent the money 1195 3, 31 | shows you your subjects, that is to say, the love and 1196 3, 31 | to one of your subjects, that is, that you have not considered 1197 3, 31 | your subjects, that is, that you have not considered 1198 3, 31 | light of your intellect that which you have done and 1199 3, 31 | ought not to have done, and that which you ought to have 1200 3, 31 | know, dearest daughter, that whiteness is better seen 1201 3, 31 | and there is no reason that any one should remind him 1202 3, 31 | should remind him of the sins that he has committed, for his 1203 3, 31 | grieves the more, for he sees that his own life was devoid 1204 3, 31 | and I wish you to know that in this knowledge which 1205 3, 31 | a just man, and the pain that comes on him who has lain 1206 3, 31 | give him this knowledge so that he may despair, but so that 1207 3, 31 | that he may despair, but so that he may come to a perfect 1208 3, 31 | his sins, with hope, so that with that pain and knowledge 1209 3, 31 | with hope, so that with that pain and knowledge he may 1210 3, 31 | you in another place. So that the one, that is to say, 1211 3, 31 | place. So that the one, that is to say, the just man, 1212 3, 31 | really is, to the suffering, that is, of the one, and the 1213 3, 31 | happiness of the other, that it is but a trifle. See 1214 3, 31 | such misery, but would be that which they ought to be and 1215 3, 31 | the blood from My spouse, that is, the holy Church, wherefore 1216 3, 31 | to the holy Church, not that they ought on that account 1217 3, 31 | not that they ought on that account to do so, or that 1218 3, 31 | that account to do so, or that their sins are excused through 1219 3, 32 | and the burning charity that You have shown and show 1220 3, 32 | common charity, and the love that You show to all Your creatures? 1221 3, 32 | thankful and grateful for me, that is, that the affection of 1222 3, 32 | grateful for me, that is, that the affection of Your charity 1223 3, 32 | and every further grace that You have bestowed upon me, 1224 3, 32 | sweet, and bitter medicine, that I may be cured and rise 1225 3, 32 | administer You to us. I desired that You would fulfill the promise 1226 3, 32 | would fulfill the promise that You made to me, and You 1227 3, 32 | Wherefore I know in truth that the heart of man knows not 1228 3, 32 | can give, and thus I see that You are He who is the Supreme 1229 3, 32 | Supreme and Eternal Good, and that we are they who are not. 1230 3, 32 | we are finite, You give that which Your rational creature 1231 3, 32 | sweet and bitter medicine that I might wholly arise out 1232 3, 32 | all sorts of people, so that I might shed a river of 1233 3, 32 | over those who are dead in that they live miserably. Wherefore 1234 3, 32 | ineffable Fire of Love, that my heart should ever grow 1235 3, 32 | beg of You, by Your grace, that they may be as two streams 1236 3, 32 | Father, for having granted me that which I asked You and that 1237 3, 32 | that which I asked You and that which I neither knew nor 1238 3, 32 | prayer. Now I beg of You that You will do mercy to the 1239 3, 32 | Church. I pray You to fulfill that which You caused me to ask 1240 3, 32 | I know well that mercy is Your own attribute, 1241 3, 32 | the blood of Your Son, so that the infernal devils may 1242 3, 32 | That Blood is what Your hungry 1243 3, 32 | have said, Eternal Father, that through the love which You 1244 3, 32 | Your Word. I know indeed that You open before even we 1245 3, 32 | given to Your servants, that they knock and cry to You, 1246 3, 32 | then the bread of life, that is to say, the fruit of 1247 3, 32 | dispose them to wish for that for which they do not wish; 1248 3, 32 | nothing; now, therefore, that we are in existence, do 1249 4, 1 | be found, and what it is that destroys it, and what is 1250 4, 1 | its possession, I reply that you will find it in its 1251 4, 1 | in Him was this virtue, that, in order to fulfill it, 1252 4, 1 | companion. This was the cause that deprived him of the perfection 1253 4, 1 | I said to you. The sign that you have this virtue is 1254 4, 1 | and impatience the sign that you have it not, and you 1255 4, 1 | it not, and you will find that this is indeed so, when 1256 4, 1 | this virtue. But observe that obedience may be kept in 1257 4, 1 | perfect than the other, not that they are on that account 1258 4, 1 | other, not that they are on that account separated, but united 1259 4, 1 | infinite goodness, since I saw that man whom I so much loved, 1260 4, 1 | He becoming the porter of that door, opened it, and no 1261 4, 1 | enter except by means of that door and that Porter. Wherefore 1262 4, 1 | by means of that door and that Porter. Wherefore He said 1263 4, 1 | said in the Holy Gospel that 'no one could come to Me, 1264 4, 1 | most excellent virtue in that humble and immaculate Lamb, 1265 4, 1 | in a different way from that in which you do. Among the 1266 4, 1 | closely united them together that one cannot be lost without 1267 4, 1 | has a nurse who feeds her, that is, true humility; therefore 1268 4, 1 | For he who travels by that way, travels in the light, 1269 4, 1 | humility, so I tell you that disobedience comes from 1270 4, 1 | this you should read in that glorious book, where you 1271 4, 2 | Now that I have shown you where obedience 1272 4, 2 | in particular, which is that of the counsels. The whole 1273 4, 2 | are so bound up together, that you cannot observe or transgress 1274 4, 2 | obedience is of such excellence that you all derive grace from 1275 4, 2 | Wherefore it is not enough that it should be only in word, 1276 4, 2 | I have already told you that this word is the key which 1277 4, 2 | delights, and to obey. So that each man has in his own 1278 4, 2 | man has in his own person that very same key which the 1279 4, 2 | and not remain seated, that is to say, placing your 1280 4, 2 | perfectly did He repair it that no matter how much a man 1281 4, 2 | with the same instruments that were used by My Word. Oh! 1282 4, 2 | Do you think, forsooth, that the disobedience which closed 1283 4, 2 | of Heaven will open it? that the pride which fell can 1284 4, 2 | disordered garments? Do you think that sitting down and binding 1285 4, 2 | mortal sin, you can walk? or that without a key you can open 1286 4, 2 | the door? Do not imagine that you can, for it is a fantastical 1287 4, 2 | Then you will throw off that hideous and defiled garment 1288 4, 2 | seen by the light of faith that in no other way can they 1289 4, 2 | the cord of self-contempt, that is to say that they are 1290 4, 2 | self-contempt, that is to say that they are not perfectly clothed 1291 4, 2 | what will prove to them, that they have lost it? Impatience, 1292 4, 2 | their impatience proves that obedience does not dwell 1293 4, 2 | sun which makes the earth, that is to say, the organs of 1294 4, 2 | long endurance, so long that it reaches from earth to 1295 4, 2 | your kingdom is so great that no one can rule you, for 1296 4, 3 | conscience, and though it is true that they can obey the precepts 1297 4, 3 | this, and of such blindness that prevents them recognizing 1298 4, 3 | obedience has lost its rust, so that, by the virtue of the blood, 1299 4, 3 | to you, and you will see that those done to you are but 1300 4, 3 | but trifles. You will see that remaining in hatred you 1301 4, 3 | in the fire of love, so that you may taste eternal life 1302 4, 4 | such love for obedience that they do not remain content 1303 4, 4 | hatred of self-love, so that when the fire increases 1304 4, 4 | does this self-hatred), that they are not content to 1305 4, 4 | greatest perfection, so that they become observers of 1306 4, 4 | know it to be your will that I should speak to you of 1307 4, 4 | closely united together that they cannot be separated. 1308 4, 5 | she wanders, seeking by that light in what place and 1309 4, 5 | the offender. It is true that the mistake of the steersman 1310 4, 5 | herself is so delightful that your tongue could not narrate 1311 4, 5 | narrate it. I say, then, that the soul, on fire with desire 1312 4, 5 | if she is truly obedient; that is to say, if she have perfectly 1313 4, 5 | enters, it does not follow that she cannot attain perfection. 1314 4, 5 | with much imperfection, so that, as I have said, the act 1315 4, 5 | obedience. This ship is rich, so that there is no need for the 1316 4, 5 | of My providence, saying that though your servants might 1317 4, 5 | indeed true. Wherefore, see that in the days when the religious 1318 4, 5 | do they come. It is just that even in the smallest matters 1319 4, 5 | to the cross by love, so that by a singular grace there 1320 4, 5 | in the vessel of his body that which was in the love of 1321 4, 5 | most perfectly, wishing that his sons should apply themselves 1322 4, 5 | foundation, not, however, on that account, being deprived 1323 4, 5 | having it also. And as a sign that he had it truly, and that 1324 4, 5 | that he had it truly, and that the contrary displeased 1325 4, 5 | in community, as a sign that he had chosen for his spouse 1326 4, 5 | salvation of souls. And in order that they might do nothing else, 1327 4, 5 | chose poverty for them, so that they might not have the 1328 4, 5 | temporal things. It is true that some failed in faith, fearing 1329 4, 5 | failed in faith, fearing that they would not be provided 1330 4, 5 | of continence, and wishes that all should observe it, with 1331 4, 5 | the darkness of pride, not that this light can be darkened 1332 4, 5 | I have already told you that a man's humility is in proportion 1333 4, 5 | obedience, it rarely happens that he does not also transgress 1334 4, 5 | either in thought or deed; so that he has rigged his ship with 1335 4, 5 | himself with My truth, showing that he did not desire the death 1336 4, 5 | of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and 1337 4, 5 | its breast. I do not say that the order itself is in this 1338 4, 5 | their eyes so illuminated that the darkness of error was 1339 4, 5 | the heretics hated him so that at last they took his life; 1340 4, 5 | fear, to such an extent that he not only confessed it 1341 4, 5 | furnace of My charity, so that he never slackened his pace 1342 4, 5 | head back, though he knew that he was to die, for I had 1343 4, 6 | Now that places suitable for obedience 1344 4, 6 | who have the light to know that My clemency, the Holy Spirit, 1345 4, 6 | together and not of one ship -- that is, one order -- in particular, 1346 4, 6 | virtue of the obedient, so that a man may better know the 1347 4, 6 | faith, by which he will know that he must slay his self-will 1348 4, 6 | it (for I have told you that I call souls in diverse 1349 4, 6 | with the light of faith that they will never be able 1350 4, 6 | without losing their life, and that they cannot walk with head 1351 4, 6 | his own will; he also sees that he is obliged to pass by 1352 4, 6 | by this narrow door, and that in such a state he would 1353 4, 6 | through it. Wherefore it is that whether he will or no he 1354 4, 6 | self-love, for he does not wish that his spouse, Obedience, given 1355 4, 6 | observances of his order, so that this sweet spouse enters 1356 4, 6 | knew by the light of faith that all these were his enemies 1357 4, 6 | has cut off from herself that which kept her in bitterness 1358 4, 6 | in him, believing truly that My clemency causes him to 1359 4, 6 | which he possesses, seeing that more glory and praise would 1360 4, 6 | with the light of faith that I am his helper, and both 1361 4, 6 | eyes of My kindness, and that it is I who permit this 1362 4, 6 | this suffering in order that he may be more eager to 1363 4, 6 | if it should seem to him that on account of his great 1364 4, 6 | some corporal exercises, so that by these means he may avoid 1365 4, 6 | self-reproach, thinking that he can never endure enough 1366 4, 6 | excels, not wishing, however, that his brother should have 1367 4, 6 | the poor. And as a sign that he delights therein, and 1368 4, 6 | perfectly the vow of poverty that he blames himself for considering 1369 4, 6 | clothes; he has no fear that thieves will come to rob 1370 4, 6 | will come to rob him, or that rust or moths will corrupt 1371 4, 6 | And in order that he may better keep to the 1372 4, 6 | himself like this child (that is, who will not keep this 1373 4, 7 | the virtues, so perfect that no higher virtue can be 1374 4, 7 | number one hundred. This is that hundredfold which is given 1375 4, 7 | life. It is not by faith that they taste eternal life, 1376 4, 7 | experience in its essence that which they have believed 1377 4, 7 | by hope, for they possess that for which they had hoped, 1378 4, 7 | possessor. See, therefore, that these little ones receive 1379 4, 8 | pain to himself and others, that in this life he tastes the 1380 4, 8 | falls into so many miseries, that his aspect is no longer 1381 4, 8 | his aspect is no longer that of a religious but of an 1382 4, 8 | removed pain from it, so that he walks by the road of 1383 4, 8 | road of lies, believing that he will find delight there, 1384 4, 8 | is his guide? Self-love, that is his own passion for disobedience. 1385 4, 8 | animal's, and he does not see that he labors more swimming 1386 4, 8 | religious in the ship, or that he is in danger of eternal 1387 4, 8 | self-love. Wherefore everything that issues from this root -- 1388 4, 8 | from the foot of the tree; that is, his affections are corrupted. 1389 4, 8 | his words, are so corrupt that they would be out of place 1390 4, 8 | Wretch that you are, do you not see 1391 4, 8 | you are, do you not see that under the color of devotion 1392 4, 8 | your superior when you see that he denies you something 1393 4, 8 | hatred against him, judging that to be done to your hurt 1394 4, 8 | their vow of poverty, so that they have nothing to spend, 1395 4, 8 | no one but himself, and that not with a reasonable but 1396 4, 8 | sorrow which he produces, that your tongue could not relate 1397 4, 9 | time for which he works, that is to say, that he who comes 1398 4, 9 | he works, that is to say, that he who comes early will 1399 4, 9 | showing you in this way that you are rewarded not according 1400 4, 9 | the shortness of the time, that they rejoin those who entered 1401 4, 9 | were, so incarnate in them, that not only do they wish to 1402 4, 9 | intention than the word, judging that the will of his superior 1403 4, 9 | is fixed in My will, and that therefore his command comes 1404 4, 9 | wherefore I say to you that he rather obeys the intention 1405 4, 9 | virtue is so pleasing to Me, that to no other have I given 1406 4, 9 | remember having read of that disciple who, being given 1407 4, 9 | in such virtue of faith that the dry wood brought forth 1408 4, 9 | leaves and fruits, as a sign that that soul had risen from 1409 4, 9 | and fruits, as a sign that that soul had risen from the 1410 4, 9 | obedience. You will also find that animals obey the obedient 1411 4, 9 | physician of the soul, in order that he might not be tossed about 1412 4, 9 | harsh words, saying: 'Beast that you are, you have brought 1413 4, 9 | read in the holy scripture that many were placed in the 1414 4, 9 | and union of mind with Me, that your body was raised from 1415 4, 9 | obedience. I say this in order that you may see how prompt I 1416 4, 9 | it is to Me. Everything that the obedient man does is 1417 4, 9 | he watches -- everything that he does is obedience; if 1418 4, 9 | neighbor, it is obedience that he serves. How is he guided 1419 4, 9 | sinfulness, and knowing that I am He who is, thus eating 1420 4, 9 | and at his death receives that which was promised him at 1421 4, 9 | his death by his superior, that is to say, eternal life, 1422 4, 9 | the whole sea, but only that quantity which it contains. 1423 4, 9 | and all the other virtues (that is, with the fruit of the 1424 4, 10 | request you made of Me was that I should do mercy to the 1425 4, 10 | body of the holy Church, that I would remove darkness 1426 4, 10 | As to this I explained that no penalty inflicted in 1427 4, 10 | you. I have also told you that I wish to do mercy to the 1428 4, 10 | the world, proving to you that mercy is My special attribute, 1429 4, 10 | only-begotten Son, whom, that you might understand things 1430 4, 10 | is built on three steps; that is, on the three powers 1431 4, 10 | hope, of whom I told you that they went under the Bridge 1432 4, 10 | wretchedness. And the third is that of the last and universal 1433 4, 10 | again I repeat my promise, that through the long endurance 1434 4, 10 | the subject and told you that all tears issue from the 1435 4, 10 | answered your fourth request, that I would provide for the 1436 4, 10 | for your good, in order that you may be sanctified in 1437 4, 10 | fulfilled in you, which truth is that I created you in order to 1438 4, 10 | conclusion of the whole matter, that in the obedience of the 1439 4, 10 | you have life, and as from that first old man you contracted 1440 4, 10 | to you My Truth. Beware that you never leave the cell 1441 4, 11 | Then that soul, having seen with the 1442 4, 11 | Infinite, have overlooked that I am finite; You, who are 1443 4, 11 | but only Your charity. May that same charity constrain You 1444 4, 11 | with the light of faith, so that I may know and understand 1445 4, 11 | manifested to me. Grant that my memory may be capable 1446 4, 11 | retaining Your benefits, that my will may burn in the 1447 4, 11 | of Your charity, and may that fire so work in me that 1448 4, 11 | that fire so work in me that I give my body to blood, 1449 4, 11 | give my body to blood, and that by that blood given for 1450 4, 11 | body to blood, and that by that blood given for love of 1451 4, 11 | confess and do not deny that You loved me before I existed, 1452 4, 11 | me before I existed, and that Your love for me is ineffable, 1453 4, 11 | in the blood of Your Son, that You are enamored of the 1454 4, 11 | You do illuminate me so that I may know all Your truth; 1455 4, 11 | all Your truth; You are that light above all light, which 1456 4, 11 | abundantly and so perfectly, that I see that my soul is alive, 1457 4, 11 | so perfectly, that I see that my soul is alive, and in 1458 4, 11 | said, Oh! Eternal Father, that You have illuminated me 1459 4, 11 | manifests sweet secrets, so that where the light of Your 1460 4, 11 | it with the hand of love, that I may see myself, who am 1461 4, 11 | of supreme perfection, so that I may no longer serve You 1462 4, 11 | darkness, but with light, and that I may be the mirror of a 1463 4, 11 | condescend to my need and to that of Your creatures -- the 1464 4, 11 | with a ray of grace, so that in that light I may give 1465 4, 11 | ray of grace, so that in that light I may give You thanks. 1466 4, 11 | You, oh!
