I poured from it Blood and 514 3, 5 | in virtue of the Blood. I also showed the baptism 515 3, 5 | you are able to confess, I wish you to do so, and if 516 3, 5 | of this baptism, of which I have been speaking. But 517 3, 5 | not at all certain that I shall not say to him, in 518 3, 5 | when you could, now will I not remember you in your 519 3, 5 | Himself the pain, which I suffered with so much fire 520 3, 5 | pain of the desire that I had to complete your redemption, 521 3, 5 | present, nor the future. This I manifested in the opening 522 3, 5 | the Heart, showing that I loved more than I could 523 3, 5 | showing that I loved more than I could show, with finite 524 3, 5 | show, with finite pain.

I even wait for them, and 528 3, 6 | created and made for them, I use My charity and mercy, 529 3, 6 | on account of their sins. I even give equally to the 530 3, 6 | to endure privation, and I take from him the goods 531 3, 7 | Sinners, such as those of whom I have just spoken, are placed 532 3, 7 | the affection of love, and I, Eternal Truth, have placed 533 3, 8 | even in the devils, as I told you. And although she 534 3, 8 | affection of love, that I will have mercy on the world. 535 3, 8 | from the beginning when I sent Him into the world, 536 3, 8 | affection of My charity, which I showed you by means of Him, 537 3, 8 | drawn back, that is, had I not loved your being, you 538 3, 8 | love possesses you, because I am one thing with My Truth, 539 3, 9 | and tasted this good, when I drew him up into the third 540 3, 9 | of Me, Eternal Trinity, I dispossessed him of Myself, 541 3, 9 | Me can no pain fall, and I wished him to suffer for 542 3, 9 | suffer for My name; therefore I placed before him, as an 543 3, 9 | pleasure for me to do, and I will do it.' Which I answered 544 3, 9 | and I will do it.' Which I answered when I placed before 545 3, 9 | Which I answered when I placed before him Christ 546 3, 9 | doctrine of My charity. I illuminated him perfectly 547 3, 10 | And when I depart from the soul in 548 3, 10 | cannot desire other than what I desire, and though they 549 3, 10 | contented to remain, if I desire them to remain, with 550 3, 10 | endure with patience, as I told you they did, who are 551 3, 10 | suffer pain, fearing that I reward not their well-doing 552 3, 10 | pleasing to Me; but when I permit to them many tribulations 553 3, 10 | Me. This is a sight which I grant to the soul, infused 554 3, 11 | in darkness. By My Truth I mean the Holy Scripture, 555 3, 11 | understand them. Wherefore I sent this light to illuminate 556 3, 11 | intellect to know the Truth. And I, Fire, Acceptor of sacrifices, 557 3, 11 | disposed to know Me, for I do not despise dispositions. 558 3, 11 | who for the obedience that I imposed upon Him, ran to 559 3, 11 | not a breaker of laws: 'I came not to dissolve the 560 3, 11 | imperfect, but with My Blood I will make it perfect, and 561 3, 11 | will make it perfect, and I will fill it up with what 562 3, 11 | My servants. Wherefore, I say to you, that it is much 563 3, 11 | the soul's salvation. This I have told you, my sweetest 564 3, 11 | separated from the body, as I told you when I spoke to 565 3, 11 | body, as I told you when I spoke to you of the blissfulness 566 3, 13 | and fruits of tears, and I have not despised your desire; 567 3, 13 | eye of your intellect and I will show you, among the 568 3, 13 | states of the soul, of which I have told you, concerning 569 3, 13 | also is their weeping, as I have told you. The fourth 570 3, 13 | fall with great peace, as I will explain to you. I will 571 3, 13 | as I will explain to you. I will tell you also of the 572 3, 13 | to weep and cannot. And I wish you to know that all 573 3, 13 | in the unitive state. Now I will begin to tell you of 574 3, 14 | I wish you to know that every 575 3, 14 | tears of death, of whom I have spoken to you, and 576 3, 14 | give her eternal life, as I have already told you when 577 3, 14 | and if you ask Me why, I reply: Because the root 578 3, 14 | some creature spiritually. (I have spoken to you at length 579 3, 14 | compassion for her neighbor, as I told you in speaking of 580 3, 14 | only- begotten Son, of whom I made a Bridge, as I have 581 3, 14 | whom I made a Bridge, as I have said. Having thus sweetly 582 3, 14 | every pain and trouble which I have permitted to be inflicted 583 3, 14 | to Mine, and not only, as I said, enduring them with 584 3, 14 | united to Me in love, as I told you when speaking of 585 3, 14 | neighbor, because she sees that I love that neighbor ineffably, 586 3, 14 | through the medium which I have given her, namely, 587 3, 14 | can all serve Me. For, as I have said to you, you can 588 3, 14 | means of your neighbor, I having given you all creatures, 589 3, 14 | same pure love with which I have loved you. That pure 590 3, 14 | directly to Me, because I have loved you without being 591 3, 14 | of Myself whatsoever, for I loved you without being 592 3, 14 | which were given you, as I have told you, by My Truth, 593 3, 14 | knowledge of the truth, as I said to you, which, though 594 3, 14 | valley of self-knowledge. I give her this light, My 595 3, 14 | was one thing with Me, and I with Him, wherefore His 596 3, 14 | to another stage, for as I have said, you have now 597 3, 15 | disciplined in virtue, as I have said to you. You ask 598 3, 15 | their value can be infinite. I do not say that in this 599 3, 15 | can become infinite, but I call them infinite, on account 600 3, 15 | from which they proceed. I have already told you how 601 3, 15 | suffering is over and ended, as I have said to you, for the 602 3, 15 | with anything finite. For I, who am the Infinite God, 603 3, 15 | your souls. In this sense I said that there were tears 604 3, 15 | regards their mode, of which I have spoken, namely, of 605 3, 15 | sorrows may cause them. I have now told you the difference 606 3, 16 | the soul. But first will I speak to you of that first 607 3, 16 | first class of men whom I mentioned at the beginning 608 3, 16 | to their body and soul. I said to you that every tear 609 3, 16 | temporal matters; sometimes I give him more time in which 610 3, 16 | time in which to repent, as I have already said to you 611 3, 16 | another place. This also will I sometimes do, I grant him 612 3, 16 | also will I sometimes do, I grant him the life of grace 613 3, 16 | pleasing and acceptable to Me. I acted in this way with My 614 3, 16 | I said to you that the flowers 615 3, 16 | that is, judging that which I did in love, to have been 616 3, 16 | done in hatred; that which I did in truth to have been 617 3, 16 | in falsehood; that which I give them for life, to have 618 3, 16 | I say that this tree has seven 619 3, 16 | flowers and leaves in the way I have told you. These branches 620 3, 16 | the Eternal God. Therefore I alone can satisfy him, and, 621 3, 17 | abyss of Your fiery Love, I beg of You grace and mercy 622 3, 17 | You grace and mercy that I may come to You truly in 623 3, 17 | that, by the light thereof, I perceive two other points, 624 3, 17 | points, concerning which I fear that they are, or may 625 3, 17 | stumbling-blocks to me. I beg, Eternal Father, that, 626 3, 17 | Eternal Father, that, before I leave the subject of these 627 3, 17 | for counsel, how should I teach him? I know, Sweet 628 3, 17 | how should I teach him? I know, Sweet and Eternal 629 3, 17 | above to this question -- 'I am He who takes delight 630 3, 17 | if on some occasion, when I am praying for Your creatures, 631 3, 17 | particular for Your servants, and I seem to see the subjects 632 3, 17 | subjects of my prayer, in one I find (in the course of my 633 3, 17 | mind full of darkness; have I the right, O Eternal Father, 634 3, 17 | darkness? Or, supposing I should see that the one 635 3, 17 | the other does not, should I be right to judge that he 636 3, 17 | has the higher perfection? I pray You, so that I may 637 3, 17 | perfection? I pray You, so that I may not be deceived through 638 3, 17 | matter. The second request I have to make is, that You 639 3, 17 | revealed Your Presence. If I remember well, oh, Eternal 640 3, 17 | joy and courageous virtue. I would gladly know whether 641 3, 17 | self-love; for if it were so, I would humbly confine myself 642 3, 17 | These are the things which I beg You to tell me, so that 643 3, 17 | You to tell me, so that I may serve You and my neighbor 644 3, 17 | the soul far from You, so I do not wish to fall into 645 3, 18 | the ineffable love which I have towards you and My 646 3, 18 | And I, who take delight in your 647 3, 18 | increase My delight, for I am the cause of you and 648 3, 18 | Yet the very pleasure that I take in the work of My own 649 3, 18 | the better understand what I shall say to you, I shall 650 3, 18 | what I shall say to you, I shall revert to the beginning 651 3, 18 | live in ordinary charity. (I shall repeat to you here 652 3, 18 | concerning these lights, which I have already told you, in 653 3, 18 | perfection. Besides this I will explain to you your 654 3, 18 | great detail that which I have already pointed out 655 3, 18 | in general. You know, as I have told you, that, without 656 3, 18 | the light of faith which I have given you in holy baptism, 657 3, 18 | light, and to these two I will also add a third. The 658 3, 18 | lustily against the spirit). I did not impose this law 659 3, 18 | Wherefore you see that, while I created the soul to Mine 660 3, 18 | such dignity and beauty, I caused her to be accompanied 661 3, 18 | the holy faith, of which I said to you that it was 662 3, 18 | Essential Good, or virtue, which I have given you as an instrument 663 3, 18 | than in loving that which I hate, and in hating that 664 3, 18 | and in hating that which I love. I love virtue and 665 3, 18 | hating that which I love. I love virtue and hate vice; 666 3, 19 | general light, of which I have spoken, she should 667 3, 19 | destruction of their self-will, as I have explained to you in 668 3, 19 | world and of the Devil, as I have narrated to you in 669 3, 19 | their own self-will, which I have already called their 670 3, 19 | their spiritual self-will, 'I wish to have that consolation, 671 3, 19 | because it seems to me that I should possess Him more, 672 3, 19 | illuminated to see that I, the Primary and Sweet Truth, 673 3, 19 | the perfection to which I have elected the soul. And 674 3, 19 | And she would see that I give everything through 675 3, 19 | the third state. Of whom I will now speak to you, explaining 676 3, 20 | receive every event which I permit to happen to them 677 3, 20 | them with due reverence, as I have mentioned to you when 678 3, 20 | Knight that He was, whom I had placed on the battle-field 679 3, 20 | have said to you: 'Behold, I have made the road, and 680 3, 20 | instead of in the way which I have made straight for you 681 3, 20 | stay their own will, as I said to you when explaining 682 3, 20 | explaining that sentence that I wished few words and many 683 3, 20 | the affection of love, for I am the Supreme and Eternal 684 3, 20 | Supreme and Eternal Purity. I am that Fire which purifies 685 3, 20 | so that everything which I give or permit to happen 686 3, 20 | permit to happen to you, I give so that you may arrive 687 3, 20 | arrive at the end for which I created you. And because 688 3, 20 | affection of My love, with which I love you inestimably; and 689 3, 20 | not their evil will, for I am their Judge, not you, 690 3, 20 | if you remember well. Now I tell you, dearest daughter, 691 3, 20 | your desire more clearly, I will tell you and show you 692 3, 21 | Why did I say to you that they received 693 3, 21 | earnest of eternal life? I say that they receive the 694 3, 21 | is far from satiety, for I am the flawless Food of 695 3, 21 | perfection in immortal life. I say that this earnest is 696 3, 21 | These servants of Mine, as I have said to you in another 697 3, 22 | Goodness of God, who am I, miserable one, that You, 698 3, 22 | personal feeling, so that I, and others in this life 699 3, 22 | to You, Eternal Father! I am imperfect and full of 700 3, 22 | Your only-begotten Son. I was dead, and You have brought 701 3, 22 | have brought me to life. I was sick, and You have given 702 3, 22 | a secret infirmity that I knew not of, in this precept 703 3, 22 | precept that, in no way, can I judge any rational creature, 704 3, 22 | servants, upon whom oftentimes I, as one blind and sick with 705 3, 22 | salvation of souls. Wherefore, I thank You, Supreme and Eternal 706 3, 22 | my infirmity. Wherefore I beseech You, through grace 707 3, 22 | from today henceforward, I may never again wander from 708 3, 22 | then, Eternal Father, do I have recourse and flee, 709 3, 22 | have recourse and flee, and I do not beseech You for myself 710 3, 22 | Your ministers; and also I beseech You especially for 711 3, 22 | thing with me, and whom I love with a particular love, 712 3, 22 | praise of Your Name, when I see them running on this 713 3, 22 | scandal or murmuring. And I pray You, Sweetest Love, 714 3, 22 | Also I make another petition to 715 3, 22 | salvation of souls, and that I, an unworthy and miserable 716 3, 22 | edification of the neighbor. I now know for certain, Eternal 717 3, 22 | desire of the petitions that I have made to You, because 718 3, 22 | have made to You, because I know, from seeing what it 719 3, 22 | Acceptor of holy desires. I, Your unworthy servant, 720 3, 22 | Now, O Eternal Father, I remember a word which you 721 3, 22 | anything of this matter, I will gladly hear it, so 722 3, 22 | for their salvation; for I remember that You said, 723 3, 22 | with good and holy pastors. I ask You this in order that 724 3, 23 | beloved and dearest daughter, I will fulfill your desire 725 3, 23 | and for those friends whom I have given you, whom you 726 3, 23 | Concerning the supports which I have given you, of whom 727 3, 23 | needs and fitness. And as I, your Creator, grant you 728 3, 23 | without Me you can do nothing, I will fulfill your desires, 729 3, 23 | every minister, that which I have given him to administer, 730 3, 24 | Now I will reply to that which 731 3, 24 | and the dignity in which I have placed them. And, since 732 3, 24 | contrast with its contrary, I will show you the dignity 733 3, 24 | virtuously the treasure I have placed in their hands; 734 3, 24 | Then said the Eternal God: "I will first, dearest daughter, 735 3, 24 | above the general love which I have had to My creatures, 736 3, 24 | through the union which I made of My Deity with human 737 3, 24 | excellence than the angels, for I took your human nature and 738 3, 24 | the angels. Wherefore, as I have said to you, I, God, 739 3, 24 | as I have said to you, I, God, have become man, and 740 3, 24 | creatures, but, among these I have especially chosen My 741 3, 24 | administered to you. To them have I given the Sun to administer, 742 3, 24 | is one thing with Me and I with Him. My power is not 743 3, 24 | same Sun; that is to say, I, the Eternal God, am that 744 3, 24 | received the Light. Whom have I entrusted with its administration? ~ 745 3, 24 | and His Blood in drink. I have said to you that this 746 3, 24 | separated from each other, as I said to you in another place 747 3, 24 | in each particle should I be present, whole God and 748 3, 24 | each one receives the fire. I will develop this metaphor 749 3, 24 | receiving this Sacrament. I say without light, because 750 3, 24 | you can do nothing, though I have given you the material, 751 3, 24 | is love, for through love I created you, and without 752 3, 24 | change the form of what I have given you, but that 753 3, 24 | and Glorious Light, which I have given you as Food for 754 3, 24 | Itself you receive entire, as I have said (in the example 755 3, 24 | him who administers it, as I told you of the sun which 756 3, 24 | whole God and whole man, as I told you, in the metaphor 757 3, 25 | not detached from Me, as I revealed to you, if you 758 3, 25 | your intellect remained. I showed it to you for your 759 3, 25 | words of consecration, and I manifested Myself to you, 760 3, 25 | shown you by My goodness, as I have said to you. The eye 761 3, 25 | Ineffable Love, with which I have made her worthy to 762 3, 26 | Sacrament she dwells in Me and I in her, as the fish in the 763 3, 26 | sea in the fish -- thus do I dwell in the soul, and the 764 3, 26 | bread have been consumed. I leave you the imprint of 765 3, 26 | render Me love, because I love you so much, and, being 766 3, 27 | I have told you all this, 767 3, 27 | recognize the dignity to which I have called My ministers, 768 3, 27 | are My anointed ones, and I call them My Christs, because 769 3, 27 | them My Christs, because I have given them the office 770 3, 27 | has no such dignity, for I have given it to those men 771 3, 27 | given it to those men whom I have chosen for My ministers, 772 3, 27 | for My ministers, and whom I have appointed as earthly 773 3, 27 | this life. In all souls I demand purity and charity, 774 3, 27 | ministration of prayer, as I said to you in another place. 775 3, 27 | another place. But far more do I demand purity in My ministers, 776 3, 27 | Sacrifice is made, even so do I require the purity and cleanness 777 3, 27 | heart and soul and mind. And I wish their body to be preserved, 778 3, 27 | in perfect charity; and I do not wish them to feed 779 3, 27 | and Me the True Light, as I told you, and the other 780 3, 28 | I will now speak to you, in 781 3, 28 | of My ministers, of whom I have spoken to you, who 782 3, 28 | have become like to It, as I told you of Peter, the prince 783 3, 28 | of the kingdom of Heaven. I say the same of these others, 784 3, 28 | wherefore he cannot, as I have said to you, have one 785 3, 28 | are one thing with Me, and I with them, as I narrated 786 3, 28 | Me, and I with them, as I narrated to you in another 787 3, 28 | to the position to which I have elected him: Peter 788 3, 28 | Shepherd, My Truth, whom I gave you to lead your sheep, 789 3, 28 | and unity of hearts. And I would that you know that, 790 3, 28 | sweet ministers, of whom I spoke to you, who have the 791 3, 28 | they are truly suns, as I have told you, because in 792 3, 28 | ones, My Christs (of whom I have narrated to you), but 793 3, 28 | Because, as the angel, which I give you to be your guardian, 794 3, 28 | of life, and doctrine as I said. With how much humility 795 3, 28 | proud ones consider not that I alone am He who provides 796 3, 28 | not regard the fact that I am He who is, and they are 797 3, 28 | solicitude to keep it, because I alone keep it. It is true 798 3, 28 | keep it. It is true that I desire you to use your being, 799 3, 28 | exercise the graces which I have bestowed upon you, 800 3, 28 | using the free-will which I have given you, with the 801 3, 28 | of reason, because though I created you without your 802 3, 28 | created you without your help I will not save you without 803 3, 28 | not save you without it. I loved you before you were, 804 3, 28 | lively faith he believed that I being for him, no one could 805 3, 28 | the virtue and power that I had given My servants over 806 3, 28 | over them. This was because I responded to the love, faith, 807 3, 28 | in My presence, because I have received their labor 808 3, 28 | And in the life eternal I have placed them in the 809 3, 28 | account of the dignity which I placed in them, and because 810 3, 28 | because this Treasure which I placed in their hands they 811 3, 28 | real virtues; and because I, for the salvation of souls, 812 3, 28 | their infirmity and say, 'I, too, am infirm with you.' 813 3, 28 | and infirm with them, as I told you, with true and 814 3, 29 | I have shown you, dearest 815 3, 29 | of good priests (for what I have shown you is only a 816 3, 29 | excellence really is), and I have told you of the dignity 817 3, 29 | of the dignity in which I have placed them, having 818 3, 29 | which dignity and authority I do not wish them to be punished 819 3, 29 | offend Me miserably. But I wish seculars to hold them 820 3, 29 | for their own sakes, as I have said, but for Mine, 821 3, 29 | reason of the authority which I have given them. Wherefore 822 3, 29 | virtuous ones of whose goodness I have spoken to you; for 823 3, 29 | souls of their subjects. I have appointed them to be 824 3, 29 | besides the dignity to which I have appointed them, how 825 3, 29 | virtue, as did those of whom I spoke to you, which are 826 3, 29 | reason of the ministry which I have placed in their hands. 827 3, 29 | yourselves their judges, which I forbid, because they are 828 3, 29 | reverence the authority which I have given them. You know 829 3, 29 | demands of charity, and thus I wish you to act with regard 830 3, 29 | tears and great desire, that I may re-clothe them in My 831 3, 29 | charity. Know well that I wish to do them grace, if 832 3, 29 | dishonor; on the contrary I have given them to you, 833 3, 29 | earthly angels and suns, as I have said. It not being 834 3, 29 | their judgment to Me. And I, moved by your prayers, 835 3, 29 | the breadth of My mercy, I, the Supreme Judge, shall 836 3, 30 | which is indeed the truth, I wish to speak to you in 837 3, 30 | perfection of his soul. For I wish you to know that all 838 3, 30 | to taste eternal life, as I said to you in another place, 839 3, 30 | does so, in the way which I have narrated to you in 840 3, 30 | door are united together. I and the Truth, My only-begotten 841 3, 30 | by My ministers, of whom I spoke to you, who have lived 842 3, 30 | the salvation of souls. I do not speak only of the 843 3, 30 | can attain to this love, I should reply, yes it is 844 3, 30 | not make a general law and I always discourse to you 845 3, 30 | testimony of him to Me, and I justly give him the crown 846 3, 31 | who are in great misery as I have related to you. How 847 3, 31 | the moment of death, as I told you, the Devil accuses 848 3, 31 | neither in the Blood of which I made them ministers, but 849 3, 31 | And I tell you that so great is 850 3, 31 | during their life, although I do not grant them this, 851 3, 31 | mercy. And nevertheless, I keep them in this hope so 852 3, 31 | have found mercy, for, as I have said to you, My mercy 853 3, 31 | displeases Me so much that I wish them to hope in My 854 3, 31 | is why during their life I use this sweet trick with 855 3, 31 | virtue, and that time which I gave them through love should 856 3, 31 | pearl and your talent which I placed in your hands in 857 3, 31 | wretch! the dignity in which I placed you, you now see 858 3, 31 | I wish you to know, dearest 859 3, 31 | life was devoid of any; and I wish you to know that in 860 3, 31 | darkness of mortal sin. I do not give him this knowledge 861 3, 31 | his being in the way which I have related to you in another 862 3, 31 | I have shown to the eye of 863 3, 31 | happens, and so small is what I have shown you with regard 864 3, 31 | account of the ministry which I entrusted to them, appointing 865 3, 32 | great. On whichever side I turn I find nothing but 866 3, 32 | On whichever side I turn I find nothing but the abyss 867 3, 32 | render You thanks, because I am she who is not, and if 868 3, 32 | am she who is not, and if I spoke as being anything 869 3, 32 | being anything of myself, I should be lying by my own 870 3, 32 | You have bestowed upon me, I have from You, who give 871 3, 32 | Your Son; and now, when I was lying infirm with the 872 3, 32 | and bitter medicine, that I may be cured and rise from 873 3, 32 | You to manifest it to me, I have known the excellence 874 3, 32 | of the holy Church. And I have known the dignity of 875 3, 32 | to administer You to us. I desired that You would fulfill 876 3, 32 | much more, more even than I knew how to ask for. Wherefore 877 3, 32 | how to ask for. Wherefore I know in truth that the heart 878 3, 32 | as You can give, and thus I see that You are He who 879 3, 32 | does not ask You. Moreover, I have received light from 880 3, 32 | by comparison with these I have better understood the 881 3, 32 | live wretchedly. Wherefore I have conceived a very great 882 3, 32 | instrument of many sins -- I am plunged in intolerable 883 3, 32 | and bitter medicine that I might wholly arise out of 884 3, 32 | sorts of people, so that I might shed a river of tears, 885 3, 32 | live miserably. Wherefore I do not wish, oh! Eternal 886 3, 32 | salvation of souls, but I beg of You, by Your grace, 887 3, 32 | having granted me that which I asked You and that which 888 3, 32 | asked You and that which I neither knew nor asked, 889 3, 32 | and continual prayer. Now I beg of You that You will 890 3, 32 | and to the holy Church. I pray You to fulfill that 891 3, 32 | I know well that mercy is 892 3, 32 | through the door of Your Word. I know indeed that You open 893 3, 32 | not save us without it. I beg of You to force their 894 3, 32 | they do not wish; and this I ask You through Your infinite 895 4, 1 | be heard, and inasmuch as I am the Supreme Truth, I 896 4, 1 | I am the Supreme Truth, I will keep My word, fulfilling 897 4, 1 | fulfilling the promise which I made to you, and satisfying 898 4, 1 | sign of its possession, I reply that you will find 899 4, 1 | the whole human race, as I said to you. The sign that 900 4, 1 | this is indeed so, when I speak to you further concerning 901 4, 1 | separated, but united as I explained to you of the 902 4, 1 | the disobedience of Adam. I, then, being constrained 903 4, 1 | infinite goodness, since I saw that man whom I so much 904 4, 1 | since I saw that man whom I so much loved, did not return 905 4, 1 | a state of damnation, as I have already told you in 906 4, 1 | you in another place. Now I wish you to see and know 907 4, 1 | into disobedience; for as I spoke to you of a companion 908 4, 1 | obedience and humility, so I tell you that disobedience 909 4, 2 | Now that I have shown you where obedience 910 4, 2 | and who her foster-mother, I will continue to speak of 911 4, 2 | and not practiced by you. I have already told you that 912 4, 2 | by the Word; for though I created you without yourselves, 913 4, 2 | you without yourselves, I will not save you without 914 4, 3 | goodness and providence as I have told you, for by My 915 4, 4 | Heaven. These are they, as I have told you, who have 916 4, 4 | most perfect obedience. I have already spoken to you 917 4, 4 | obedience in general, and as I know it to be your will 918 4, 4 | it to be your will that I should speak to you of this 919 4, 4 | most perfect obedience, I will now relate to you somewhat 920 4, 4 | is more perfect, for, as I have already told you, these 921 4, 4 | they cannot be separated. I have told you where general 922 4, 4 | the cause of its loss. Now I will speak to you of this 923 4, 5 | the ineffable love which I have for her, and her own 924 4, 5 | tongue could not narrate it. I say, then, that the soul, 925 4, 5 | imperfection, so that, as I have said, the act of entrance 926 4, 5 | who is the Holy Spirit, as I told you when I spoke to 927 4, 5 | Spirit, as I told you when I spoke to you of My providence, 928 4, 5 | charily, nevertheless, as I explained to you in another 929 4, 5 | good, not for the majority. I say few because they are 930 4, 5 | light. He was a light which I gave the world by means 931 4, 5 | extirpator of heresies. Why do I say by means of Mary? Because 932 4, 5 | is, can be no obedience. I have already told you that 933 4, 5 | nourished at its breast. I do not say that the order 934 4, 5 | that he was to die, for I had revealed to him his 935 4, 5 | to the battlefield; and I could tell you the same 936 4, 6 | their superiors, for, as I told you, the Holy Spirit 937 4, 6 | obedience and its perfection, I will speak to you of the 938 4, 6 | however he may enter it (for I have told you that I call 939 4, 6 | for I have told you that I call souls in diverse ways), 940 4, 6 | opens the door of Heaven, as I have said to you. They have 941 4, 6 | wherewith to open it, for as I said to you, he is obliged 942 4, 6 | the light of faith that I am his helper, and both 943 4, 6 | kindness, and that it is I who permit this suffering 944 4, 6 | Me with the light which I give him through love, which 945 4, 7 | us?' My Truth replied, 'I will give you a hundredfold 946 4, 7 | could you follow Me. And I, in this life, will give 947 4, 7 | Properly speaking, no. Do I not, however, often cause 948 4, 7 | goods? In return for what do I this? In return for the 949 4, 7 | This is the one for which I repay him a hundredfold. 950 4, 7 | outside, bringing their fruit, I say, into Me, the eternal 951 4, 8 | devil, as in another place I related to you at greater 952 4, 8 | to you at greater length. I will, however, tell you 953 4, 9 | I have appointed you all to 954 4, 9 | from My will, wherefore I say to you that he rather 955 4, 9 | Me, that to no other have I given so many miraculous 956 4, 9 | and of many others of whom I could tell you. The water 957 4, 9 | charity, or obedience. I say this in order that you 958 4, 9 | that you may see how prompt I wish the obedience of My 959 4, 9 | sinfulness, and knowing that I am He who is, thus eating 960 4, 9 | the ineffable love which I have for her, and the obedience 961 4, 9 | alone contains itself. So I, the Sea Pacific, am He 962 4, 9 | comprehension of Myself I rejoice, and this joy, the 963 4, 9 | this joy, the good which I have in Myself, I share 964 4, 9 | which I have in Myself, I share with you, and with 965 4, 9 | to the measure of each. I do not leave you empty, 966 4, 10 | I have now, oh dearest and 967 4, 10 | anxious desire, or rather I caused you to make them 968 4, 10 | one for yourself, which I have satisfied, illuminating 969 4, 10 | you made of Me was that I should do mercy to the world. 970 4, 10 | of the holy Church, that I would remove darkness and 971 4, 10 | your person. As to this I explained that no penalty 972 4, 10 | How this is to be done I have explained to you. I 973 4, 10 | I have explained to you. I have also told you that 974 4, 10 | have also told you that I wish to do mercy to the 975 4, 10 | the inestimable love which I had for man, I sent to the 976 4, 10 | love which I had for man, I sent to the earth the Word, 977 4, 10 | understand things quite clearly, I represented to you under 978 4, 10 | I also showed you, to give 979 4, 10 | soul. These three steps I also represented to you, 980 4, 10 | and the mouth -- by which I also figured three states 981 4, 10 | excellence of unitive love. I have shown you clearly in 982 4, 10 | Speaking of these three states I have also spoken of the 983 4, 10 | sin without hope, of whom I told you that they went 984 4, 10 | by the Devil's road, when I spoke to you of their wretchedness. 985 4, 10 | universal judgment. And I who told you somewhat of 986 4, 10 | promised you, and now again I repeat my promise, that 987 4, 10 | endurance of My servants I will reform My spouse. Wherefore 988 4, 10 | reform My spouse. Wherefore I invite you to endure, Myself 989 4, 10 | over her iniquities. And I have shown you the excellence 990 4, 10 | excellence of the ministers I have given her, and the 991 4, 10 | and the reverence in which I wish seculars to hold them, 992 4, 10 | to you on this subject, I also touched on the excellence 993 4, 10 | and whence they proceed, I spoke to you on the subject 994 4, 10 | I told you not only of the 995 4, 10 | which germinates death. I have also answered your 996 4, 10 | your fourth request, that I would provide for the particular 997 4, 10 | particular case of an individual; I have provided as you know. 998 4, 10 | know. Further than this, I have explained My providence 999 4, 10 | you, which truth is that I created you in order to 1000 4, 10 | I have also in My last words
