For, when they have rendered 140 2, 1 | according to their needs for salvation, as I said to 141 2, 2 | diameter of the circle, for if the tree were out of 142 2, 2 | circumference of the circle, for, turn as you will within 143 2, 2 | knowledge of self and of Me (for, otherwise, the circle would 144 2, 3 | be taken as instruments for arriving at virtue, and 145 2, 3 | desirous of doing great penance for My sake, asking, 'What can 146 2, 3 | I do to endure suffering for You, oh Lord?'

It 162 2, 3 | have been truly conceived; for, I have already told you, 163 2, 4 | and how she prayed to God for the Holy Church, and for 164 2, 4 | for the Holy Church, and for her own people. ~ 165 2, 4 | For, the Supreme and Eternal 166 2, 4 | it was no longer possible for the body to endure it without 167 2, 4 | would not have been possible for her to have lived any longer. 168 2, 4 | and of God, and her hunger for the salvation of the whole 169 2, 4 | of the whole world, and for the reformation of the Holy 170 2, 4 | body of the Holy Church, for You will be the more glorified 171 2, 4 | instrument of all this evil, for which reason I pray Your 172 2, 4 | that you grant them mercy. For what is it to me if I have 173 2, 4 | Spirit. What reason had You for creating man in such dignity? 174 2, 4 | became enamored of him, for You created him through 175 2, 4 | You. He was our Justice, for He took on Himself all our 176 2, 4 | corrupted clay of Adam. For what reason? -- Love. Wherefore, 177 2, 5 | joined with My love, and fall for love of Me, and your painful 178 2, 5 | and confounded falsehood. For I give this Blood and use 179 2, 5 | give this Blood and use It for salvation and perfection 180 2, 5 | properly to receive it, for It gives life and adorns 181 2, 5 | which you had lost by sin; for I was incapable of suffering, 182 2, 5 | sufficient to satisfy it, for, even if he had satisfied 183 2, 5 | could only have satisfied for himself, and not for other 184 2, 5 | satisfied for himself, and not for other rational creatures, 185 2, 5 | besides which, neither for himself, nor for others, 186 2, 5 | neither for himself, nor for others, could man satisfy, 187 2, 5 | enfeebled, and could not satisfy for the above reason, I sent 188 2, 5 | justice and My divine mercy. For My mercy willed to make 189 2, 5 | willed to make satisfaction for the sin of man and to dispose 190 2, 5 | dispose him to that good for which I had created him. 191 2, 5 | was sufficient to satisfy for the whole human race, not 192 2, 5 | was sufficient to satisfy for guilt, but only by virtue 193 2, 5 | sensuality, and obtain the end for which he was created. Oh, 194 2, 6 | own image and similitude; for which reason, he was bound 195 2, 6 | redemption than before. For they are now obliged to 196 2, 6 | Word, My only-begotten Son, for then they repay Me the debt 197 2, 6 | say to you, that they ask for death and cannot have it, 198 2, 6 | death and cannot have it, for they cannot lose their being; 199 2, 6 | servants hunger and desire for My honor, and the salvation 200 2, 6 | the world's persecutions, for I will protect you, and 201 2, 7 | participate in that Good for which I had created them, 202 2, 8 | see the greatness thereof, for it reaches from Heaven to 203 2, 8 | not sufficient to satisfy for guilt, to remove the stain 204 2, 8 | be sufficient to satisfy for the whole human race, so 205 2, 9 | increase through our good, for You are unchangeable, and 206 2, 9 | evil causes You no harm, for You are the Supreme and 207 2, 9 | and You have been punished for me. For I see Your Word, 208 2, 9 | have been punished for me. For I see Your Word, Your Son, 209 2, 9 | Your miserable servant, for which reason, my heart is 210 2, 10 | excite that soul still more for the salvation of souls, 211 2, 10 | as I have shown you that for which you wished, and ask 212 2, 10 | affection, are the first step, for the feet carry the body 213 2, 10 | because He does not love you for His own profit, because 214 2, 10 | beneath, may not touch it; for, in My Son, was no venom 215 2, 10 | For this reason I said to you 216 2, 10 | lifted out of the earth, for the Divine nature is united 217 2, 10 | than to lay down My life for you; perforce, then, My 218 2, 10 | everything has been created for the service of man, to serve 219 2, 10 | creature has not been made for them, but for Me, in order 220 2, 10 | been made for them, but for Me, in order to serve Me 221 2, 10 | everything else has been made for him. It was therefore necessary 222 2, 11 | Bridge, moistened the mortar for its building with His Blood. 223 2, 11 | upon Him as the foundation, for there is no virtue which 224 2, 11 | rain of Divine justice, for he is sheltered by the mercy 225 2, 11 | weariness, faint by the way; and for this reason My love has 226 2, 11 | from Me, the soul drowns, for creatures are like water 227 2, 12 | who, having a Road made for him, which causes such delight 228 2, 12 | to walk over the water. For those who cross by the Bridge, 229 2, 12 | him who wearies himself for Me, who am grateful and 230 2, 12 | him who goes on this road, for, even in this life, he tastes 231 2, 12 | which has been prepared for him in eternal life. He, 232 2, 12 | Truly then have you reason for grief, and I will that you 233 2, 12 | to Me, and in compassion for the ignorant, and the loss 234 2, 13 | of the Ascension, did not for that reason have the earth. ~ 235 2, 13 | not stand here any longer, for He is seated at the right 236 2, 13 | doctrine, which is the way made for you by this Bridge. For 237 2, 13 | for you by this Bridge. For first, He practiced this 238 2, 13 | example rather than by words; for He practiced, first Himself, 239 2, 13 | divine with the human nature, for this is the truth. ~ 240 2, 13 | disciples, as I have said. For in His bodily presence He 241 2, 13 | virtuous, and reward them for their labors, both in body 242 2, 13 | These are those sinners for whom I beg you to pray to 243 2, 13 | beg you to pray to Me, and for whom I ask in addition your 244 2, 14 | You, 'I wish you to pray for such, in order that I may 245 2, 14 | caused Your Son to do battle for us, hanging by His arms 246 2, 14 | Hell Your Mercy shines, for the damned do not receive 247 2, 14 | Madman! was it not enough for You to become Incarnate, 248 2, 14 | suffocates in thinking of you, for on every side to which I 249 2, 15 | words, she humbly waited for the fulfillment of the promise 250 2, 15 | I said: 'these are those for whom I pray you to intercede 251 2, 15 | mortal sin in their minds, for they then bring it forth, 252 2, 15 | far as grace is concerned.

And it produces 262 2, 17 | they then give their life for the salvation of souls, 263 2, 19 | disordinate affection; and it is for this injustice and false 264 2, 20 | great affection of love for the salvation of souls. 265 2, 20 | Which torments I permitted for the increase of grace and 266 2, 20 | contrary to your salvation, for with the wind of self-esteem, 267 2, 21 | is indeed a condemnation, for the soul has arrived at 268 2, 21 | there can be no remedy, for she is at the extremity 269 2, 21 | light to know and grieve for her fault, not on account 270 2, 21 | themselves that which is theirs. For to Me, they ought to render 271 2, 21 | heart, and offer it to Me, for the offense they have done 272 2, 21 | of the pain they expect for their sin; so you see that 273 2, 21 | judgment, and are punished for the one and the other together. 274 2, 22 | fruit of their toils borne for Me with such abundance of 275 2, 22 | him to you in his own form for a little space of time, 276 2, 22 | burns and does not consume, for the being of the soul cannot 277 2, 22 | not hope in Me, nor grieve for the offense done to Me, 278 2, 22 | offense done to Me, but only for their own pain, have they 279 2, 23 | suffer like man to satisfy for your guilt. He will not 280 2, 24 | out of love or compassion for his brothers, for he was 281 2, 24 | compassion for his brothers, for he was deprived of love 282 2, 24 | not desire good, either for My honor or their salvation, 283 2, 25 | Similarly, the just soul, for whom life finishes in the 284 2, 25 | of which I have told you, for themselves alone, for it 285 2, 25 | you, for themselves alone, for it is not so, but it is 286 2, 25 | sons, and all the angels -- for, when the soul arrives at 287 2, 25 | desires forever cry out to Me, for the salvation of the whole 288 2, 25 | of death. In their desire for My honor, they desire your 289 2, 25 | salvation, and always pray to Me for you, which desire is fulfilled 290 2, 25 | more bliss to the soul, for, if this were so, it would 291 2, 25 | flesh which she had quitted. For, as the soul is made immortal, 292 2, 25 | preserved, and continually cry for mercy for you, to Me, the 293 2, 25 | continually cry for mercy for you, to Me, the Supreme 294 2, 25 | will this delight endure for them eternally. Not that 295 2, 25 | lives in love and affection for Me, and good-will towards 296 2, 26 | the misery of the damned. For this is another of their 297 2, 26 | the Blood that was shed for them, and by the works of 298 2, 26 | and temporal, which I did for them by means of My Son, 299 2, 26 | which they should have done for their neighbor, as is contained 300 2, 26 | Gospel. They will be reproved for their cruelty towards their 301 2, 26 | towards their neighbor, for their pride and self-love, 302 2, 26 | their pride and self-love, for their filthiness and avarice; 303 2, 26 | glorified body, rewarding them for the toils they bore for 304 2, 26 | for the toils they bore for Me, together with the soul. 305 2, 26 | Pacific. It is the contrary for those who have kept the 306 2, 26 | them: 'Whosoever thirsts for the water of death, let 307 2, 27 | molest My creatures, not for My creatures to be conquered, 308 2, 27 | virtue, by being proved. For one does not arrive at virtue 309 2, 27 | permits these temptations, for the devil is weak, and by 310 2, 27 | that virtue may be proved, for it is not proved except 311 2, 27 | to prove virtue in you (for he has not love), but rather 312 2, 27 | they were forced to do so, for as I told you they cannot 313 2, 27 | good which I have prepared for them, and embrace it with 314 2, 27 | in them, it is imperfect, for, because they were imperfect, 315 2, 27 | sinners do the contrary, for, seeing, with desperation, 316 2, 27 | one nor the other waits for judgment, but, in departing 317 2, 27 | by the aforesaid Bridge, for, wishing to fly pains, they 318 2, 27 | way could he catch them, for they would not allow themselves 319 2, 27 | to be obtained thereby. For the soul, from her nature, 320 2, 27 | the river, and who care for nothing but themselves, 321 2, 27 | troubles, they fall into them. For, because it seems to them 322 2, 27 | cannot escape enduring pain, for no one can pass through 323 2, 28 | the weariness of the pain; for their will is accorded with 324 2, 28 | taste Me without any revolt, for they have left the burden 325 2, 28 | body, her desire is full, for, desiring to see Me, she 326 2, 28 | their will is fulfilled, for they have that which they 327 2, 28 | the affection of My love. For I told you that My servants 328 2, 28 | favored in having tribulation for My sake, and they desire 329 2, 28 | desire other than good, for which I permit these tribulations 330 2, 28 | Supreme Goodness, and sought for it where it was to be found, 331 2, 29 | creatures, but rather arranged for the exercising and proving 332 2, 29 | manifest Himself to her. And, for this, she was in bitterness, 333 2, 30 | intellect set before itself for its sole object transitory 334 2, 30 | affection to love them; for had worldly things no such 335 2, 30 | brightness there would be no sin, for man, by his nature, cannot 336 2, 31 | There are two goals, and, for the attainment of either, 337 2, 32 | him come to Me and drink, for I am the Fountain of the 338 2, 32 | of Grace, and it is right for you, with perseverance, 339 2, 32 | keep by Him who is made for you a Bridge, not being 340 2, 32 | therefore of Him did I make for you a Bridge. No one can 341 2, 32 | otherwise you shall not drink, for perseverance receives the 342 2, 33 | Presence in the midst of you. For in this way, in which you 343 2, 33 | thirst will not persevere, for either fatigue causes him 344 2, 33 | and neither does he care for the company, and alone he 345 2, 33 | smallest prick of persecution, for he loves it not.

Thirst, I say, for virtue, and the honor of 349 2, 33 | first step of the affection, for the affection, stripped 350 2, 33 | mirrored in cordial love of Me, for through Him have I shown 351 2, 33 | Life, through his thirst for My honor and his own salvation 352 2, 33 | emptied with other things, for nothing can remain empty, 353 2, 33 | without disordinate love for transitory things, it is 354 2, 35 | There is, therefore, no need for servile fear; and this does 355 2, 35 | with perfect contrition.

My 366 2, 37 | they make use of Me only for their own profit, relaxing 367 2, 37 | profit, relaxing their love for their neighbor. Thus, those 368 2, 37 | love was originally impure, for they gave to their neighbor 369 2, 37 | advantage. If, through a desire for perfection, they do not 370 2, 37 | they should not turn back. For those who desire Eternal 371 2, 37 | themselves, is necessary, for it is not enough for eternal 372 2, 37 | necessary, for it is not enough for eternal life to fly sin 373 2, 37 | and virtue should be loved for My sake. It is true that, 374 2, 37 | heart that takes no thought for herself, or, at least, in 375 2, 37 | irrespective of themselves, for I, who am the Rewarder of 376 2, 37 | state of two dear friends, for though they are two in body, 377 2, 38 | affection of their love. For though I am no Acceptor 378 2, 39 | manifest My Father to you'? For three reasons in particular. 379 2, 39 | Father, and it is enough for us.' My Word said, 'Who 380 2, 39 | with Me are but one thing. For this reason He did not say ' 381 2, 39 | of the intellect alone, for, as I am, you cannot see 382 2, 39 | manifest myself to you, for in this manifestation of 383 2, 39 | such a vision is impossible for you, while yet in the mortal 384 2, 40 | mortal sin, recognizing it for what it is, begins to weep 385 2, 40 | to you;' and so it was, for, when the Holy Spirit returned 386 2, 40 | returned, as I told you above, for the Holy Spirit did not 387 2, 40 | thoughts of her heart, looking for the affection of My charity, 388 2, 40 | of spiritual self-love, for this should be the end and 389 2, 41 | spiritual love, know this well, for, if they have received My 390 2, 41 | the thirst of their love for their neighbor equally sincerely. 391 2, 41 | the love which you have for Me you owe to Me, so that 392 2, 41 | imperfection of spiritual love for the creature is shown? It 393 2, 41 | It is because his love for Me is still imperfect, that 394 2, 41 | her own imperfection, and for the same reason do I withdraw 395 2, 41 | My only- begotten Son. For I told you, if you remember, 396 2, 41 | the virtue of His Blood, for it is in virtue of this 397 3, 1 | waits, with a lively faith for My arrival, through increase 398 3, 1 | the soul never turns back for anything, whatever it be, 399 3, 1 | rises from holy prayer, for any reason except (note 400 3, 1 | reason except (note well) for obedience or charity's sake. 401 3, 1 | obedience or charity's sake. For no other reason ought she 402 3, 1 | she to leave off prayer, for, during the time ordained 403 3, 1 | during the time ordained for prayer, the Devil is wont 404 3, 1 | prayer avails you nothing, for you need attend to nothing 405 3, 2 | provide food and comfort for the travelers and the pilgrims, 406 3, 2 | herself, becoming full of love for Me and for her neighbor. 407 3, 2 | full of love for Me and for her neighbor. Where can 408 3, 2 | soul is not required to do, for, in doing only this, she 409 3, 2 | the broadness of My mercy, for fear that otherwise she 410 3, 2 | and there is no more need for you to afflict yourself 411 3, 2 | you: 'Cursed that you are, for I can find no way to take 412 3, 2 | completing her tale, and, for vocal abandons mental prayer, 413 3, 2 | self-knowledge or of contrition for sin, sometimes in the broadness 414 3, 2 | begun. She should not do so, for, in so doing, she yields 415 3, 2 | penalty of offending Me, for, they must, until death, 416 3, 2 | they, at the hour appointed for saying it, should feel their 417 3, 2 | be immediately abandoned for the said cause. Vocal prayer, 418 3, 2 | proceed with much, taste much. For the more the soul tries 419 3, 2 | mental and vocal prayer, for, even as the active and 420 3, 2 | in many and diverse ways, for I have told you that a holy 421 3, 2 | occasion actually appointed for prayer in addition to the 422 3, 2 | according as charity commands for the salvation of the neighbor, 423 3, 2 | ought to exert himself for the salvation of souls, 424 3, 2 | the salvation of souls, for this exercise lies at the 425 3, 2 | ceases not to pray.' It was for this reason that I told 426 3, 2 | by leaving vocal prayer for mental when I visit the 427 3, 3 | bring the soul to confusion, for it would cause the soul 428 3, 3 | man, and towards Me, when, for her good, I withdraw delight 429 3, 3 | reproves herself, not only for those things that are against 430 3, 3 | against reason, but also for things that in reality come 431 3, 4 | announce to them the truth, for the glory and praise of 432 3, 4 | cannot be without the other, for there cannot be love of 433 3, 5 | there was occasion enough for it; but the principal part 434 3, 5 | baptized in their blood, shed for Me, which has virtue through 435 3, 5 | contrition of heart is sufficient for this baptism, the hand of 436 3, 5 | out of the pain and desire for your salvation, is infinite, 437 3, 5 | show this, it was necessary for the Blood to come out of 438 3, 6 | nature as in the human, for, whether worldly people 439 3, 6 | their sins. I even wait for them, and command the earth 440 3, 6 | things created and made for them, I use My charity and 441 3, 6 | they persecute My servants; for they prove in them the virtues 442 3, 7 | another's property, and not for the motive of making them 443 3, 7 | which Truth created them for the praise and glory of 444 3, 7 | justiciars to those who go, for their sins, to the pains 445 3, 8 | death, but His love -- no. For had the affection of My 446 3, 8 | Eternal Life have desire for the salvation of souls without 447 3, 9 | and I wished him to suffer for My name; therefore I placed 448 3, 9 | before him, as an object for the eyes of his intellect, 449 3, 9 | which it is Your pleasure for me to do, and I will do 450 3, 10 | remain, with their pain, for the greater praise and glory 451 3, 10 | the desire which they have for death, for oftentimes the 452 3, 10 | which they have for death, for oftentimes the desire and 453 3, 10 | Wherefore were it possible for them to have virtue without 454 3, 11 | And how it is better to go for counsel for the salvation 455 3, 11 | better to go for counsel for the salvation of the soul, 456 3, 11 | or disposed to know Me, for I do not despise dispositions. 457 3, 11 | according as he needed it for his salvation or that of 458 3, 11 | salvation or that of others, or for the exposition of the Scriptures. 459 3, 11 | shines in my Truth, who for the obedience that I imposed 460 3, 11 | as if they had studied it for long; and this is not remarkable, 461 3, 11 | it is much better to go for counsel for the salvation 462 3, 11 | better to go for counsel for the salvation of the soul, 463 3, 11 | with hunger and desire for the soul's salvation. This 464 3, 12 | her request of the Truth. For it is necessary for him 465 3, 12 | Truth. For it is necessary for him who is lifted with desire 466 3, 12 | the matter of her request, for God Himself manifested it 467 3, 13 | of punishment, and weep for fear. The third are the 468 3, 13 | serve and taste Me, and weep for very sweetness; but since 469 3, 13 | without any regard whatsoever for themselves. These weep and 470 3, 14 | proceeds from the heart, for there is no member of the 471 3, 14 | distinct from the love of Me; for such love, being disordinate 472 3, 14 | their guilt, set to weeping for fear of the penalty they 473 3, 14 | abandons it with a hearty grief for the penalty which follows 474 3, 14 | heart feels joy. Sorrow for her grief, mingled with 475 3, 14 | self-love is not sensual love, for that has already been removed, 476 3, 14 | compassion of self-love; for her self-will is not yet 477 3, 14 | of love, and compassion for her neighbor, as I told 478 3, 14 | cries with hearty love for Me and for her neighbor, 479 3, 14 | with hearty love for Me and for her neighbor, grieving solely 480 3, 14 | neighbor, grieving solely for My offense and her neighbor' 481 3, 14 | neighbor's loss, and not for any penalty or loss due 482 3, 14 | or loss due to herself; for she does not think of herself, 483 3, 14 | takes the food prepared for her on the table of the 484 3, 14 | to be inflicted upon her for her salvation, having manfully 485 3, 14 | it glory to be persecuted for My Name's sake in whatever 486 3, 14 | goodness and greatness, for she has seen and tasted 487 3, 14 | give savor to each other, for, had not this last grief ( 488 3, 14 | herself to be loved. And, for this reason, the soul that 489 3, 14 | which you can all serve Me. For, as I have said to you, 490 3, 14 | consideration of Myself whatsoever, for I loved you without being 491 3, 14 | temporal, but loving him solely for the praise and glory of 492 3, 14 | fulfilling that of your neighbor, for these two laws are the feet 493 3, 14 | state has been reached, for this further state does 494 3, 14 | this union to the soul, for, in tasting it, she sees 495 3, 14 | by reason of her appetite for consolation, considering 496 3, 14 | may ever grow in virtue.
