Chapter, Paragraph
501 2, 30 | such glittering objects. It is the very brightness of the 502 2, 30 | vision of the intellect is deluded by them, and the 503 2, 30 | the affection of the will is deluded into loving them, 504 2, 30 | these powers of the soul is so great that I cannot be 505 2, 30 | free will. This free will is bound to the affection, 506 2, 30 | without it. Your reason is attached to Me when your 507 2, 30 | sensuality and reason. Sensuality is appointed to be the servant, 508 2, 30 | exercise the virtues. The soul is free, liberated from sin 509 2, 30 | consent with her will, which is controlled by her free choice, 510 2, 30 | midst of them; and this is what My truth, the Word 511 2, 30 | midst of them.' And this is the truth. I have already 512 2, 31 | of either, perseverance is needful -- they are vice 513 2, 31 | persevere in vice. Thus it is with perseverance that they 514 2, 32 | Living Water of Grace, and it is right for you, with perseverance, 515 2, 32 | perseverance, to keep by Him who is made for you a Bridge, not 516 2, 33 | for he loves it not. He is afraid because he is alone; 517 2, 33 | He is afraid because he is alone; were he accompanied 518 2, 33 | yourselves together, as it is said, 'two or three or more.' ~ 519 2, 33 | Why is it said 'two or three or 520 2, 33 | without more. The number one is excluded, for, unless a 521 2, 33 | cannot be in the midst; this is no indifferent trifle, for 522 2, 33 | indifferent trifle, for he who is wrapped up in self-love 523 2, 33 | wrapped up in self-love is solitary. ~ 524 2, 33 | Why is he solitary? Because he 525 2, 33 | he solitary? Because he is separated from My grace 526 2, 33 | he turns to that which is naught, because I am He 527 2, 33 | naught, because I am He that is. So that he who is solitary, 528 2, 33 | that is. So that he who is solitary, that is, who is 529 2, 33 | he who is solitary, that is, who is alone in self-love, 530 2, 33 | is solitary, that is, who is alone in self-love, is not 531 2, 33 | who is alone in self-love, is not mentioned by My Truth 532 2, 33 | mentioned by My Truth and is not acceptable to Me. He 533 2, 33 | three without two, and so it is. You know that the commandments 534 2, 33 | are not observed the Law is not observed. The two commandments 535 2, 33 | Name, without three, that is without the congregation 536 2, 33 | by grace, and a man, who is full of My love and that 537 2, 33 | the appetite of the soul is disposed to thirst. Thirst, 538 2, 33 | and his every other thirst is spent and dead, and he then 539 2, 33 | according to My will -- that is, with a holy and true fear, 540 2, 33 | the second step -- that is, to the light of the intellect, 541 2, 33 | of the intellect, which is, through Christ crucified, 542 2, 33 | quiet, because the memory is filled with My love. You 543 2, 33 | resounds, but not so when it is full. So memory, being filled 544 2, 33 | the two commandments, that is love of Me and of the neighbor, 545 2, 33 | but filled immediately it is emptied with other things, 546 2, 33 | for transitory things, it is filled with love of celestial 547 2, 34 | pricked by servile fear, that is, fearing their own personal 548 2, 35 | How servile fear is not sufficient, without 549 2, 35 | virtue, servile fear alone is not sufficient to give eternal 550 2, 35 | But love with holy fear is sufficient, because the 551 2, 35 | sufficient, because the law is founded in love and holy 552 2, 35 | penalty of it. The new law is the law of love, given by 553 2, 35 | My only-begotten Son, and is founded in love alone. The 554 2, 35 | holy fear remained, that is, the fear of offending, 555 2, 35 | humanity was taken away, that is, he who offended was no 556 2, 35 | There is, therefore, no need for 557 2, 35 | this does not mean that sin is not punished, but that the 558 2, 35 | but that the punishment is reserved, unless, that is 559 2, 35 | is reserved, unless, that is to say, the person punish 560 2, 35 | the other life, the soul is separated from the body, 561 2, 35 | wherefore while man lives is his time for mercy, but 562 2, 35 | time for mercy, but when he is dead comes the time of justice. 563 2, 35 | fear of Me, otherwise there is no remedy against his falling 564 2, 36 | oneself in servile fear, which is the state of imperfection, 565 2, 36 | of imperfection, by which is meant the first step of 566 2, 36 | at the second step, which is the state of perfection. ~ 567 2, 36 | climbing the three steps, which is the truth. There are some 568 2, 36 | gathered together; that is to say, the soul, having 569 2, 37 | pleasure which they find in Me, is imperfect. Do you know what 570 2, 37 | their sanctification, which is the good and the end for 571 2, 37 | which they gave to Me, that is to say, a love based only 572 2, 37 | imperfection of theirs, it is impossible that they should 573 2, 37 | prescinding from themselves, is necessary, for it is not 574 2, 37 | themselves, is necessary, for it is not enough for eternal life 575 2, 37 | be abandoned because it is displeasing to Me, and virtue 576 2, 37 | be loved for My sake. It is true that, generally speaking, 577 2, 37 | generally speaking, every person is first called in this way, 578 2, 37 | called in this way, but this is because the soul herself 579 2, 37 | because the soul herself is at first imperfect, from 580 2, 37 | not to a servant. Yet it is true, that a servant may 581 2, 37 | will dwell together.' This is the state of two dear friends, 582 2, 37 | dwell together,' and this is the truth." ~ 583 2, 38 | and amorous Word? In many is My virtue manifested in 584 2, 38 | manifestation of My virtue, that is to say, of My love and charity 585 2, 38 | and charity in the soul, is made through the Word of 586 2, 38 | of love. Now this charity is manifested in two ways; 587 2, 38 | to ordinary people, that is to those who live in the 588 2, 38 | ordinary grace of God. It is manifested to them by the 589 2, 38 | of manifestation, which is developed from the first, 590 2, 38 | developed from the first, is peculiar to those who have 591 2, 38 | way mentioned above, and is known through a sentiment 592 2, 38 | manifestation, however, is in men themselves; they 593 2, 38 | manifest Myself (and this is also a part of the second 594 2, 39 | thing together. And so it is that I manifest Myself to 595 2, 39 | Show us the Father, and it is enough for us.' My Word 596 2, 39 | said to Judas, 'My doctrine is not Mine, but My Father' 597 2, 39 | Both, because such a vision is impossible for you, while 598 2, 39 | mortal body, and because He is one thing with Me." ~ 599 2, 40 | have now seen how excellent is the state of him who has 600 2, 40 | secret of the Heart, which is the second of the three 601 2, 40 | delight and profit in Me. This is a necessary stage, by which 602 2, 40 | perfect love, to the love that is of friend and son. I call 603 2, 40 | that of a friend, which is why I told you that a friend 604 2, 40 | from charity, and charity is nourished by humility, which 605 2, 40 | holy hatred of self, that is, sensuality. To arrive thereat, 606 2, 40 | after the forty days, that is until after the Ascension. 607 2, 40 | recognizing it for what it is, begins to weep from fear 608 2, 40 | pleasure and profit. This is an imperfect state, and 609 2, 40 | after the forty days, that is after these two states, 610 2, 40 | and future, to those, that is to say, who should come 611 2, 40 | the wisdom of the Son, who is one thing with Me, and with 612 2, 40 | of which I told you, that is to say: how the soul arrives 613 2, 40 | and what she does when she is perfect. This is what she 614 2, 40 | when she is perfect. This is what she does. Though she 615 2, 40 | of the Holy Spirit, that is of Me, who am the fire of 616 2, 40 | intellectual watching, that is, with the eye of her mind 617 2, 40 | her sanctification, which is certified to her in the 618 2, 40 | prayer of holy desire, which is a continued prayer, and 619 2, 40 | orders of Holy Church. This is what the soul does in order 620 2, 40 | arrive at perfection, and it is to this end, namely that 621 2, 40 | learn how incapable she is of stability or perseverance, 622 2, 41 | imperfection and perfection is acquired from Me, so is 623 2, 41 | is acquired from Me, so is it manifested by means of 624 2, 41 | you owe to Me, so that it is not of grace that you love 625 2, 41 | you cannot do to Me, that is to say, that you may love 626 2, 41 | must be sincere, because it is with the same love with 627 2, 41 | spiritual love for the creature is shown? It is shown when 628 2, 41 | the creature is shown? It is shown when the lover feels 629 2, 41 | that his neighborly love is still imperfect, and that, 630 2, 41 | order to drink from it. It is because his love for Me 631 2, 41 | because his love for Me is still imperfect, that his 632 2, 41 | that his neighborly love is so weak, and because the 633 2, 41 | of self-knowledge, where is acquired every perfection. 634 2, 41 | that upon the Bridge, that is, upon the doctrine of My 635 2, 41 | virtue of His Blood, for it is in virtue of this Blood 636 3, 1 | increase of grace in her. How is a lively faith to be recognized? 637 3, 1 | ordained for prayer, the Devil is wont to arrive in the soul, 638 3, 1 | trouble than when the soul is not occupied in prayer. 639 3, 1 | exercise of prayer, which is a weapon with which the 640 3, 2 | Christ, the complete doctrine is given; and how the soul 641 3, 2 | mental prayer, and a vision is related which this devout 642 3, 2 | her own fragility, that is to say, either on account 643 3, 2 | pleasant to that soul and to Me is holy prayer, made in the 644 3, 2 | of the Sacrament [which is placed in the tavern of 645 3, 2 | of the Holy Church] that is to say, the food of the 646 3, 2 | the key of the Blood. This is that tavern, which I mentioned 647 3, 2 | affection of love, which is to be tasted in the Blood 648 3, 2 | perfection. By what means is this acquired? By perseverance 649 3, 2 | recitation, which the soul is not required to do, for, 650 3, 2 | well that, just as the soul is at first imperfect and afterwards 651 3, 2 | afterwards perfect, so also is it with her prayer. She 652 3, 2 | vocal prayer, while she is yet imperfect, so as not 653 3, 2 | them to mental prayer, that is to say, that while she is 654 3, 2 | is to say, that while she is reciting, she should endeavor 655 3, 2 | the arm of My mercy. This is one of the subtle devices 656 3, 2 | which My goodness (which is never withheld from him 657 3, 2 | you strength to do, that is you rose, humbly trusting 658 3, 2 | pleasing to God, and there is no more need for you to 659 3, 2 | contrition, seeing who God is, who is offended by me, 660 3, 2 | seeing who God is, who is offended by me, and who 661 3, 2 | not sacramentally; that is, they communicate in the 662 3, 2 | then, that perfect prayer is not attained to through 663 3, 2 | active and contemplative life is one, so are they. Although 664 3, 2 | told you that a holy desire is a continual prayer, in this 665 3, 2 | salvation of his neighbor, is virtually a prayer, although 666 3, 2 | made in many ways, that is, that actual prayer may 667 3, 2 | of charity, which charity is itself continual prayer. 668 3, 2 | told you how mental prayer is reached by exercise and 669 3, 2 | you of common prayer, that is, of vocal prayer in general, 670 3, 2 | neighbor, with good-will, is prayer. The enclosed soul 671 3, 3 | reality come from Me, which is what My sweet servant S. 672 3, 3 | where there was no sin, that is, that through purity of 673 3, 4 | arrived at perfect love. This is seen by the same sign that 674 3, 4 | spiritual self-love, that is, the imperfect love of her 675 3, 4 | through this charity, which is of the Holy Spirit, she 676 3, 4 | reached the fourth state, that is, from the third state, which 677 3, 4 | from the third state, which is a perfect state, in which 678 3, 4 | the fourth state, which is one of perfect union with 679 3, 4 | states are united, that is to say, one cannot be without 680 3, 5 | forth from the house, which is a sign that they have arisen 681 3, 5 | baptism of water, which is received in virtue of the 682 3, 5 | affection of love. There is no baptism of fire without 683 3, 5 | Blood, because the Blood is steeped in and kneaded with 684 3, 5 | love was It shed. There is yet another way by which 685 3, 5 | he offends, not that he is obliged, through his fragility 686 3, 5 | confess, contrition of heart is sufficient for this baptism, 687 3, 5 | the fruit of the Blood. It is true that, in the last extremity, 688 3, 5 | do so. In which case, it is not at all certain that 689 3, 5 | and though My works, that is the pains of the Cross were 690 3, 5 | through Me, are infinite. This is in virtue of the infinite 691 3, 5 | But because the one nature is steeped in and united with 692 3, 5 | desire for your salvation, is infinite, and therefore 693 3, 5 | opening of My Side, where is found the secret of the 694 3, 5 | the fire, wherein the soul is steeped. And, in order to 695 3, 6 | And so perfect is her vision that she sees 696 3, 6 | because the righteous man is able to endure privation, 697 3, 7 | augmenters of My Glory; that is, My instruments of justice 698 3, 7 | to My Name, and My Truth is fulfilled in them, which 699 3, 7 | So you see that My Truth is fulfilled in them, that 700 3, 7 | fulfilled in them, that is, that they render Me glory, 701 3, 8 | in her the pain of desire is ended, the desire is not. ~ 702 3, 8 | desire is ended, the desire is not. ~ 703 3, 8 | creatures, and in the devils is seen the glory and praise 704 3, 8 | can see it? The soul who is denuded of the body and 705 3, 8 | she loves, and loving, she is satisfied. Satisfied, she 706 3, 8 | the Truth, and her will is stayed in My Will, bound 707 3, 8 | on the world. Pain in her is ended, but not love, as 708 3, 8 | love been drawn back, that is, had I not loved your being, 709 3, 9 | into the third heaven, that is into the height of the Trinity, 710 3, 9 | do? Show me that which it is Your pleasure for me to 711 3, 10 | which she had made with Me, is impatient in her life, being 712 3, 10 | This vision of My offense is the torture which such souls 713 3, 10 | Nevertheless, as their will is not their own, but becomes 714 3, 10 | enduring of many tribulations is to them a relief in the 715 3, 10 | sacrifice of their desires is not pleasing to Me; but 716 3, 10 | My charity, which charity is a fire proceeding from Me, 717 3, 10 | the eye of the intellect is lifted up and gazes into 718 3, 10 | affection behind the intellect is nourished and united with 719 3, 10 | and united with Me. This is a sight which I grant to 720 3, 11 | infused by grace. And how it is better to go for counsel 721 3, 11 | With this light that is given to the eye of the 722 3, 11 | receives according as he is capable or disposed to know 723 3, 11 | purity. To the obedient ones is declared, by it, the obedience 724 3, 11 | of the Cross. This light is to be seen in the Old and 725 3, 11 | the evangelical life, how is the Gospel declared to the 726 3, 11 | but to fulfill it.' It is almost as if My Truth would 727 3, 11 | would say to them -- The Law is now imperfect, but with 728 3, 11 | supernatural light, which was and is given by grace to all, who 729 3, 11 | of the light, with which is found and expounded the 730 3, 11 | studied it for long; and this is not remarkable, because 731 3, 11 | Wherefore, I say to you, that it is much better to go for counsel 732 3, 11 | they offer the light that is in them, with hunger and 733 3, 11 | the eye of the intellect is ravished by the fire of 734 3, 11 | received in Me. This state is most excellent, when the 735 3, 11 | Eternal Life, both because she is united with Me, and because 736 3, 11 | Me, and because her will is dead in Christ, by which 737 3, 12 | learnt in the Truth but what is seen by the eye of the intellect, 738 3, 12 | request of the Truth. For it is necessary for him who is 739 3, 12 | is necessary for him who is lifted with desire to learn 740 3, 12 | teaching which the Truth, that is, God, had given her, that 741 3, 13 | sweetness; but since their love is imperfect, so also is their 742 3, 13 | love is imperfect, so also is their weeping, as I have 743 3, 13 | These weep and their weeping is perfect. The fifth are joined 744 3, 14 | from the heart, for there is no member of the body that 745 3, 14 | as the eye. If the heart is in pain the eye manifests 746 3, 14 | mortal pain and tears. It is true that their guilt and 747 3, 14 | of life, the tears, that is, of those who, knowing their 748 3, 14 | knowing that fear alone is not sufficient to give her 749 3, 14 | Because the root of self-love is not sensual love, for that 750 3, 14 | as has been said, but it is a spiritual love with which 751 3, 14 | Wherefore, when such a soul is deprived of the thing she 752 3, 14 | the thing she loves, that is, internal or external consolation, 753 3, 14 | men come on her, her heart is full of grief. And, as soon 754 3, 14 | self-love; for her self-will is not yet crushed and destroyed 755 3, 14 | sensual tears -- tears, that is, of spiritual passion. But, 756 3, 14 | of the Eternal Word, that is, by the doctrine of My only-begotten 757 3, 14 | Sea Pacific, and her heart is united to Me in love, as 758 3, 14 | beloved daughter, how glorious is that soul who has indeed 759 3, 14 | and in that Sea, which is Myself, the Supreme and 760 3, 14 | and so sheds tears. This is the last stage in which 761 3, 14 | stage in which the soul is blessed and sorrowful. ~ 762 3, 14 | Blessed she is through the union which 763 3, 14 | final stage. Yet this sorrow is no impediment to the unitive 764 3, 14 | those who rejoice -- that is, who live in My love. Over 765 3, 14 | prevent the fourth, that is, the final grief belonging 766 3, 14 | be perfect. Therefore it is necessary that the one should 767 3, 14 | the depths. Therefore it is necessary to bear with others 768 3, 14 | because love of her neighbor is developed out of love of 769 3, 14 | out of love of Me -- that is, out of that learning which 770 3, 14 | namely, her neighbor, who is the medium through which 771 3, 14 | True indeed is it that this height cannot 772 3, 14 | class of tears belongs. It is therefore impossible to 773 3, 14 | Not that the other state is changed because this further 774 3, 14 | to you, which, though it is mortal, appears immortal 775 3, 14 | perception of her own sensuality is mortified and her will is 776 3, 14 | is mortified and her will is dead through the union which 777 3, 14 | Oh, how sweet is the taste of this union 778 3, 14 | things of the future. This is the effect of My Goodness, 779 3, 14 | in virtue. For the soul is never so perfect in this 780 3, 15 | desire. As, when green wood is on the fire, the moisture 781 3, 15 | the heat, because the wood is green, so does the heart, 782 3, 15 | And inasmuch as desire is never ended, it is never 783 3, 15 | desire is never ended, it is never satisfied in this 784 3, 15 | to herself to love. Thus is holy desire, which is founded 785 3, 15 | Thus is holy desire, which is founded in love, exercised, 786 3, 15 | weeps. But when the soul is separated from the body 787 3, 15 | of all other virtues. It is true that suffering is over 788 3, 15 | It is true that suffering is over and ended, as I have 789 3, 15 | but, in this way, hunger is kept up, because those who 790 3, 15 | in this way their satiety is without disgust, and their 791 3, 15 | for, in Me, no perfection is wanting. ~ 792 3, 15 | Thus is your desire infinite, otherwise 793 3, 15 | infinite thing you possess is the affection and desire 794 3, 15 | infinite value, and this is true as regards their mode, 795 3, 15 | the infinite desire which is united to the tears. When 796 3, 16 | My discourse; those, that is, who live miserably in the 797 3, 16 | from the heart, and this is the truth, for the heart 798 3, 16 | their heart feels pain, that is, when they are deprived 799 3, 16 | as the root of self-love is corrupt, everything that 800 3, 16 | everything that grows from it is corrupt also. Self-love 801 3, 16 | corrupt also. Self-love is a tree on which grow nothing 802 3, 16 | struck by various winds. This is the tree of the soul. For 803 3, 16 | since the root of the tree is badly planted, the tree 804 3, 16 | works, forevery good deed is rewarded, and every evil 805 3, 16 | out of a state of grace is not sufficient to merit 806 3, 16 | obtains it. Often such a man is rewarded in temporal matters; 807 3, 16 | of false judgment, which is of two kinds. The first 808 3, 16 | falsely all My mysteries, that is, judging that which I did 809 3, 16 | second kind of false judgment is directed against a man's 810 3, 16 | remember that the tongue is made only to give honor 811 3, 16 | earth; for their hunger is insatiable, and the earth 812 3, 16 | insatiable, and the earth is unable to satisfy them. 813 3, 16 | unbearable to themselves, and it is conformable to their state 814 3, 16 | they have to satiety. This is the reason why such satiety 815 3, 16 | Man is placed above all creatures, 816 3, 16 | Greater than himself there is nothing but Myself, the 817 3, 16 | satisfy him, and, because he is deprived of this satisfaction 818 3, 17 | points also to me. The first is -- when a person desirous 819 3, 17 | second request I have to make is, that You will explain further 820 3, 18 | How the light of reason is necessary to every soul 821 3, 18 | you can not hear, that is to say, that the soul that 822 3, 18 | the True Light. The first is a general light dwelling 823 3, 18 | walk in the truth, that is, without the light of reason, 824 3, 18 | It is necessary for you to have 825 3, 18 | own fragility, how strong is your inclination, through 826 3, 18 | its contrary. Sensuality is contrary to the spirit, 827 3, 18 | of sensuality, the soul is able to prove the love which 828 3, 18 | the fragility of his body is a cause of humiliation to 829 3, 18 | humiliation to the soul, and is in no way matter for pride, 830 3, 18 | the pupil of the eye. This is that light which is necessary 831 3, 18 | This is that light which is necessary in general to 832 3, 18 | the immaculate Lamb. This is the ordinary light, that 833 3, 18 | the ordinary light, that is, the light which all persons 834 3, 18 | being without the light, is not in a state of grace, 835 3, 18 | the reason of good, that is to say virtue, she cannot 836 3, 18 | See then how necessary is this light, for your sins 837 3, 18 | hates virtue offends Me, and is deprived of My grace.

A man in mortal sin is deprived of the life of 933 3, 28 | life of grace, and he who is in grace has illuminated 934 3, 28 | the reason of sin, that is to say, his own self-love, 935 3, 28 | Truth, by which his memory is filled with the benefit 936 3, 28 | and knows, and the memory is filled with that which the 937 3, 28 | administer Me, the Sun, that is to say, the Body and Blood 938 3, 28 | And this justice was and is that pearl which shines 939 3, 28 | justice, because he who is not corrected, and does 940 3, 28 | why? The root of self-love is alive in them, wherefore 941 3, 28 | by which their position is to be kept. If they would 942 3, 28 | they would only see that it is by holy justice they would 943 3, 28 | told you, because in them is no darkness of sin, or of 944 3, 28 | really bound to do, that is, to distribute the temporal 945 3, 28 | in Me and not in himself, is that he does not fear with 946 3, 28 | the fact that I am He who is, and they are they who are 947 3, 28 | because I alone keep it. It is true that I desire you to 948 3, 28 | This love was and is the companion of whosoever 949 3, 28 | affection of love, fears, and is afraid of every little thing, 950 3, 28 | thing, because he alone is without Me who give supreme 951 3, 28 | of their neighbor, that is the wounds of the guilt 952 3, 29 | for what I have shown you is only a sample of what that 953 3, 29 | what that excellence really is), and I have told you of 954 3, 29 | ministers of the Sun -- that is of the Body and Blood of 955 3, 29 | condition of light, that is to say, they illuminate 956 3, 29 | virtues, forevery virtuous man is worthy of love, and these 957 3, 29 | properly clothed. This, then, is your duty according to the 958 3, 29 | great Treasures -- that is to say, the Sacraments of 959 3, 29 | and the whole of Man, that is to say, the Body and Blood 960 3, 29 | with your tears -- that is to say, that you should 961 3, 29 | you to pray for it; for it is not according to My will 962 3, 30 | accuse these wretches, which is indeed the truth, I wish 963 3, 30 | of the just man's death is greater or less according 964 3, 30 | enemy. To a friend, that is to say, to virtue and holy 965 3, 30 | solicitude; to an enemy, that is to say, to vice and wicked 966 3, 30 | It is true that a just soul, through 967 3, 30 | time but little; but this is not an afflictive pain, 968 3, 30 | recollected in herself, is caused by it to throw herself 969 3, 30 | that Blood, so in death he is inebriated and drowned in 970 3, 30 | drowned in the same. How is it that the devils cannot 971 3, 30 | hurt that soul, who already is beginning to taste eternal 972 3, 30 | angelic nature! This joy is received by all those who 973 3, 30 | living, the light, that is, of holy science, by which 974 3, 30 | receives more. Your reward is measured according to the 975 3, 30 | I should reply, yes it is possible that he may attain 976 3, 30 | with his neighbor, to them is given the office of administering 977 3, 30 | conscience, and with himself he is indignant, deeming himself 978 3, 30 | pearls of the virtues -- that is, of the fruit which love 979 3, 30 | any fear, because in them is not the poison of sin. There 980 3, 30 | the poison of sin. There is no servile fear in them, 981 3, 30 | by My goodness each one is arranged in his place, and 982 3, 30 | his place, and to each one is measured of the affection 983 3, 31 | excellent, dearest daughter, is the end of these other poor 984 3, 31 | you.
