How terrible and dark is 1041 3, 31 | moment of death, as I told you, the Devil accuses them 1042 3, 31 | showing his face, which you know is so horrible that 1043 3, 31 | And I tell you that so great is that shame 1044 3, 31 | is great presumption, for you cannot truly say that he 1045 3, 31 | your nature which moves you to despair, for there is 1046 3, 31 | for, as I have said to you, My mercy is greater without 1047 3, 31 | blinder than the blind! You have hidden your pearl and 1048 3, 31 | your hands in order that you might gain more with it, 1049 3, 31 | might gain more with it, but you in your presumption would 1050 3, 31 | would not do My will, rather you hid it under the ground 1051 3, 31 | self-love, which now renders you the fruit of death. ~ 1052 3, 31 | miseries are not hid from you now, for the worm of conscience 1053 3, 31 | no longer, but is gnawing you, the devils shout and render 1054 3, 31 | devils shout and render to you the reward which they are 1055 3, 31 | condemnation; they wish to bring you to despair, so that at the 1056 3, 31 | that at the moment of death you may not escape from their 1057 3, 31 | therefore they try to confuse you, so that afterwards when 1058 3, 31 | so that afterwards when you are with them they may render 1059 3, 31 | them they may render to you of the part which is theirs. 1060 3, 31 | dignity in which I placed you, you now see shining as 1061 3, 31 | dignity in which I placed you, you now see shining as it really 1062 3, 31 | shining as it really is, and you know to your shame that 1063 3, 31 | know to your shame that you have held and used in such 1064 3, 31 | of the holy Church, that you see yourself to be a thief, 1065 3, 31 | conscience represents to you that you have spent the 1066 3, 31 | conscience represents to you that you have spent the money on 1067 3, 31 | for your house. Whereas you should have lived in voluntary 1068 3, 31 | conscience represents to you the divine office which 1069 3, 31 | the divine office which you neglected, by which you 1070 3, 31 | you neglected, by which you fell into the guilt of mortal 1071 3, 31 | mortal sin, and how even when you recited it with your mouth 1072 3, 31 | Me. Conscience also shows you your subjects, that is to 1073 3, 31 | the love and hunger which you should have felt towards 1074 3, 31 | of justice, and because you did the contrary your conscience 1075 3, 31 | likeness of the Devil reproves you. ~ 1076 3, 31 | And if as a prelate you have given prelacies or 1077 3, 31 | subjects, that is, that you have not considered to whom 1078 3, 31 | considered to whom and how you were giving it, the Devil 1079 3, 31 | your conscience, because you ought to have given it, 1080 3, 31 | salvation of souls.

So that 1088 3, 31 | small is what I have shown you with regard to what it really 1089 3, 32 | above every fire, because You are the only Fire who burn 1090 3, 32 | sated, but ever desires You, and the more of You she 1091 3, 32 | desires You, and the more of You she has, the more she seeks -- 1092 3, 32 | she finds and tastes of You -- Supreme and Eternal Fire, 1093 3, 32 | Eternal Good, who has moved You, Infinite God, to illuminate 1094 3, 32 | the light of Your Truth?

You alone are He who is Supremely 1097 3, 32 | Supremely Good, and nevertheless You gave the Word, Your only-begotten 1098 3, 32 | cause of this? Love. Because You loved us before we were. 1099 3, 32 | oh! Eternal Greatness!

No, but You alone, most sweet and amorous 1104 3, 32 | charity itself will render You thanks, because I am she 1105 3, 32 | father of lies, because You alone are He who is. And 1106 3, 32 | every further grace that You have bestowed upon me, I 1107 3, 32 | bestowed upon me, I have from You, who give them to me through 1108 3, 32 | through the sin of Adam, You sent it a Physician, the 1109 3, 32 | negligence and much ignorance, You, most soothing and sweet 1110 3, 32 | rise from my infirmity. You have soothed me because 1111 3, 32 | Your love and gentleness You have manifested Yourself 1112 3, 32 | according as it has pleased You to manifest it to me, I 1113 3, 32 | excellence of grace which You have given to the human 1114 3, 32 | dignity of Your ministers whom You have appointed to administer 1115 3, 32 | appointed to administer You to us.

And because You are infinite, and we are 1122 3, 32 | infinite, and we are finite, You give that which Your rational 1123 3, 32 | nor in the way in which You can and will satisfy the 1124 3, 32 | for which she does not ask You. Moreover, I have received 1125 3, 32 | through the love which You have for the whole human 1126 3, 32 | earthly angels in this life. You have shown me the virtue 1127 3, 32 | mirrors of virtue. And because You have manifested and grieved 1128 3, 32 | You, oh! inestimable love, have 1129 3, 32 | negligence, and have recourse to You with anxious and solicitous 1130 3, 32 | which are committed against You by all sorts of people, 1131 3, 32 | salvation of souls, but I beg of You, by Your grace, that they 1132 3, 32 | streams of water issuing from You, the Sea Pacific. Thanks, 1133 3, 32 | Pacific. Thanks, thanks to You, oh! Father, for having 1134 3, 32 | granted me that which I asked You and that which I neither 1135 3, 32 | giving me matter for grief You have invited me to offer 1136 3, 32 | invited me to offer before You sweet, loving, and yearning 1137 3, 32 | continual prayer. Now I beg of You that You will do mercy to 1138 3, 32 | prayer. Now I beg of You that You will do mercy to the world 1139 3, 32 | the holy Church. I pray You to fulfill that which You 1140 3, 32 | You to fulfill that which You caused me to ask You. Alas! 1141 3, 32 | which You caused me to ask You. Alas! what a wretched and 1142 3, 32 | Ah me! You cause them to cry in order 1143 3, 32 | cry out to Your mercy; do You then reply. ~ 1144 3, 32 | own attribute, wherefore You can not destroy it or refuse 1145 3, 32 | the ineffable love which You have for man, wherefore 1146 3, 32 | Your servants who knock at You for their sakes. Grant the 1147 3, 32 | Eternal Father who, as You see, stand at the door of 1148 3, 32 | door -- Your truth -- have You washed our iniquities and 1149 3, 32 | The Blood is ours, for You have made it our bath, wherefore 1150 3, 32 | made it our bath, wherefore You can not deny it to any one 1151 3, 32 | not carry off Your lambs. You are the Good Shepherd who, 1152 3, 32 | Your hungry servants beg of You at this door, begging You 1153 3, 32 | You at this door, begging You through it to do mercy to 1154 3, 32 | the putrid flowers of sin. You have said, Eternal Father, 1155 3, 32 | that through the love which You have for Your rational creatures, 1156 3, 32 | labors of Your servants, You would do mercy to the world, 1157 3, 32 | Your mercy towards us, for You must first reply to us before 1158 3, 32 | Your inestimable love which You have given us through the 1159 3, 32 | Word. I know indeed that You open before even we can 1160 3, 32 | affection of love which You have given to Your servants, 1161 3, 32 | that they knock and cry to You, seeking Your honor and 1162 3, 32 | only-begotten Son, which they ask of You for the praise and glory 1163 3, 32 | their hardness of heart. To You, Eternal Father, everything 1164 3, 32 | possible, and even though You have created us without 1165 3, 32 | us without our own help, You will not save us without 1166 3, 32 | us without it. I beg of You to force their wills, and 1167 3, 32 | not wish; and this I ask You through Your infinite mercy. 1168 3, 32 | through Your infinite mercy. You have created us from nothing; 1169 3, 32 | remake the vessels which You have created to Your image 1170 4, 1 | promise which I made to you, and satisfying your desire. 1171 4, 1 | satisfying your desire. And if you ask Me where obedience is 1172 4, 1 | possession, I reply that you will find it in its completeness 1173 4, 1 | Look at the first man and you will see the cause which 1174 4, 1 | human race, as I said to you. The sign that you have 1175 4, 1 | said to you. The sign that you have this virtue is patience, 1176 4, 1 | impatience the sign that you have it not, and you will 1177 4, 1 | that you have it not, and you will find that this is indeed 1178 4, 1 | indeed so, when I speak to you further concerning this 1179 4, 1 | united as I explained to you of the precepts and counsels. 1180 4, 1 | at the Ascension, He left you this sweet key of obedience; 1181 4, 1 | key of obedience; for as you know He left His vicar, 1182 4, 1 | the Christ, on earth, whom you are all obliged to obey 1183 4, 1 | as I have already told you in another place. Now I 1184 4, 1 | another place. Now I wish you to see and know this most 1185 4, 1 | perfectly for Him, which vision you imperfectly enjoy by the 1186 4, 1 | different way from that in which you do. Among the others he 1187 4, 1 | without the other. Either you have them both or you have 1188 4, 1 | Either you have them both or you have neither. This virtue 1189 4, 1 | Father. Wherefore in Him you will find obedience perfectly 1190 4, 1 | perfectly accomplished. He left you this rule and this doctrine, 1191 4, 1 | this doctrine, which gives you life, for it is the straight 1192 4, 1 | disobedience; for as I spoke to you of a companion virtue proceeding 1193 4, 1 | and humility, so I tell you that disobedience comes 1194 4, 1 | eternal death. All this you should read in that glorious 1195 4, 1 | that glorious book, where you find described this and 1196 4, 2 | Now that I have shown you where obedience is to be 1197 4, 2 | upon obedience, for by it you prove your fidelity. You 1198 4, 2 | you prove your fidelity. You are all in general by My 1199 4, 2 | bound up together, that you cannot observe or transgress 1200 4, 2 | of such excellence that you all derive grace from it, 1201 4, 2 | just as from disobedience you all derive death. Wherefore 1202 4, 2 | word, and not practiced by you. I have already told you 1203 4, 2 | you. I have already told you that this word is the key 1204 4, 2 | Word; for though I created you without yourselves, I will 1205 4, 2 | yourselves, I will not save you without yourselves. Wherefore 1206 4, 2 | without yourselves. Wherefore you must take the key in your 1207 4, 2 | spoiled the key of obedience, you do not think of mending 1208 4, 2 | think of mending it! Do you think, forsooth, that the 1209 4, 2 | which fell can rise? Do you think to be admitted to 1210 4, 2 | disordered garments? Do you think that sitting down 1211 4, 2 | the chain of mortal sin, you can walk? or that without 1212 4, 2 | walk? or that without a key you can open the door? Do not 1213 4, 2 | door? Do not imagine that you can, for it is a fantastical 1214 4, 2 | a fantastical delusion; you must be firm, you must leave 1215 4, 2 | delusion; you must be firm, you must leave mortal sin by 1216 4, 2 | purpose of amendment. Then you will throw off that hideous 1217 4, 2 | Your creator, of which you should make a girdle to 1218 4, 2 | loins with it, for fear you lose it. Know, My daughter, 1219 4, 2 | Oh! blessed obedience! you voyage without fatigue, 1220 4, 2 | danger the port of salvation, you are conformed to My only-begotten 1221 4, 2 | only-begotten Son, the Word, you board the ship of the holy 1222 4, 2 | abandon His doctrine, of which you make a table when you eat 1223 4, 2 | which you make a table when you eat the food of souls, dwelling 1224 4, 2 | true humility, which saves you from coveting, contrary 1225 4, 2 | My will, his possessions, you walk erect, without bending, 1226 4, 2 | and truly My creatures, you are a sunrise drawing after 1227 4, 2 | a sunrise drawing after you the light of divine grace, 1228 4, 2 | the light of divine grace, you are a sun which makes the 1229 4, 2 | yourself and your neighbor. You are even cheerful, for your 1230 4, 2 | and even in its fortitude you are great by your long endurance, 1231 4, 2 | unlocks the celestial door. You are a hidden pearl, trampled 1232 4, 2 | great that no one can rule you, for you have come out of 1233 4, 2 | no one can rule you, for you have come out of the mortal 1234 4, 3 | providence as I have told you, for by My providence the 1235 4, 3 | the mud of impurity, for you seem like pigs to wallow 1236 4, 3 | and cruelty, with which you use your neighbors, your 1237 4, 3 | pride, by which amputation you will extinguish the hatred 1238 4, 3 | Compare the injuries which you do to Me and to your neighbor 1239 4, 3 | neighbor with those done to you, and you will see that those 1240 4, 3 | with those done to you, and you will see that those done 1241 4, 3 | will see that those done to you are but trifles. You will 1242 4, 3 | to you are but trifles. You will see that remaining 1243 4, 3 | that remaining in hatred you injure Me by transgressing 1244 4, 3 | transgressing My precept, and you also injure the object of 1245 4, 3 | object of your hate, for you deprive him of your love, 1246 4, 3 | him of your love, whereas you have been commanded to love 1247 4, 3 | if your neighbor injures you do not love him; but they 1248 4, 3 | simply, as they were said to you by My Truth, who Himself 1249 4, 3 | rule. Literally also should you observe it, and if you do 1250 4, 3 | should you observe it, and if you do not you will injure your 1251 4, 3 | observe it, and if you do not you will injure your own soul, 1252 4, 3 | the fire of love, so that you may taste eternal life together 1253 4, 4 | with a general obedience as you are all obliged to do if 1254 4, 4 | are all obliged to do if you will have life and not death, 1255 4, 4 | are they, as I have told you, who have chosen the most 1256 4, 4 | I have already spoken to you of obedience in general, 1257 4, 4 | will that I should speak to you of this particular and most 1258 4, 4 | obedience, I will now relate to you somewhat of this second 1259 4, 4 | as I have already told you, these two kinds of obedience 1260 4, 4 | be separated. I have told you where general obedience 1261 4, 4 | loss. Now I will speak to you of this particular obedience, 1262 4, 5 | the Holy Spirit, as I told you when I spoke to you of My 1263 4, 5 | told you when I spoke to you of My providence, saying 1264 4, 5 | But you will say, 'Are not all the 1265 4, 5 | nevertheless, as I explained to you in another place, one virtue 1266 4, 5 | obedience. I have already told you that a man's humility is 1267 4, 5 | battlefield; and I could tell you the same of many others, 1268 4, 6 | superiors, for, as I told you, the Holy Spirit is the 1269 4, 6 | them, and having thus shown you the place of obedience and 1270 4, 6 | perfection, I will speak to you of the obedience and of 1271 4, 6 | in particular, showing you the sin of the disobedient 1272 4, 6 | enter it (for I have told you that I call souls in diverse 1273 4, 6 | Heaven, as I have said to you. They have taken a little 1274 4, 6 | part of the great door, as you may see in any real door. 1275 4, 6 | open it, for as I said to you, he is obliged to pass through 1276 4, 6 | which also was said to you by My Truth. Justly, therefore, 1277 4, 7 | sake, and have followed You, what will you give us?' 1278 4, 7 | followed You, what will you give us?' My Truth replied, ' 1279 4, 7 | Truth replied, 'I will give you a hundredfold for one, and 1280 4, 7 | hundredfold for one, and you shall possess eternal life.' 1281 4, 7 | Truth had wished to say, 'You have done well, Peter, for 1282 4, 7 | for in no other way could you follow Me. And I, in this 1283 4, 7 | in this life, will give you a hundredfold for one.' 1284 4, 7 | hundredfold in merit; but you always necessarily arrive 1285 4, 7 | addition to this hundred you also possess eternal life, 1286 4, 8 | another place I related to you at greater length. I will, 1287 4, 8 | length. I will, however, tell you something now of their delusion, 1288 4, 8 | Wretch that you are, do you not see that 1289 4, 8 | Wretch that you are, do you not see that under the color 1290 4, 8 | under the color of devotion you conceal a troop of children? 1291 4, 8 | from your disobedience. You have not chosen the virtues 1292 4, 8 | truly obedient religious; you strive to deceive your superior 1293 4, 8 | deceive your superior when you see that he denies you something 1294 4, 8 | when you see that he denies you something which your perverse 1295 4, 8 | irreverently and reproving him. You can not endure your brother, 1296 4, 8 | reproof which he may make to you, but in such a case you 1297 4, 8 | you, but in such a case you immediately bring forth 1298 4, 8 | your brother displeased you? Because you live for your 1299 4, 8 | displeased you? Because you live for your own sensual 1300 4, 8 | your own sensual pleasure, you fly your cell as if it were 1301 4, 8 | if it were a prison, for you have abandoned the cell 1302 4, 8 | disobedience, wherefore you can not remain in your material 1303 4, 8 | remain in your material cell. You will not appear in the refectory 1304 4, 8 | against your will whilst you have anything to spend; 1305 4, 8 | anything to spend; when you have nothing left necessity 1306 4, 8 | nothing left necessity takes you there. ~ 1307 4, 8 | Me. In the same way have you, oh! disobedient man, having 1308 4, 8 | obedience and cast from you the key which would have 1309 4, 9 | I have appointed you all to labor in the vineyard 1310 4, 9 | comes late, as My Truth told you in the holy gospel by the 1311 4, 9 | first: My Truth showing you in this way that you are 1312 4, 9 | showing you in this way that you are rewarded not according 1313 4, 9 | will, wherefore I say to you that he rather obeys the 1314 4, 9 | lives of the fathers, where you read of a religious, who 1315 4, 9 | obedience of the earth, you remember having read of 1316 4, 9 | the fruit of obedience. You will also find that animals 1317 4, 9 | words, saying: 'Beast that you are, you have brought along 1318 4, 9 | saying: 'Beast that you are, you have brought along another 1319 4, 9 | yourself.' And as to fire, you have read in the holy scripture 1320 4, 9 | others of whom I could tell you. The water bore up Maurus 1321 4, 9 | disciple.
