When He returned to 632 4, 1 | vision you imperfectly enjoy by the light of holy faith. 633 4, 1 | alone, but is accompanied by all the true and royal virtues, 634 4, 1 | obedience. Her raiment given her by this nurse is self-contempt, 635 4, 1 | obedience imposed on Him by Me, His Eternal Father. 636 4, 1 | Life.' For he who travels by that way, travels in the 637 4, 1 | the darkness of self-love, by which he fell into disobedience; 638 4, 1 | humility. The sister given by self-love to disobedience 639 4, 2 | the soul should fasten it by means of a cord to her girdle, 640 4, 2 | founded upon obedience, for by it you prove your fidelity. 641 4, 2 | You are all in general by My truth to obey the commandments 642 4, 2 | word, and not practiced by you. I have already told 643 4, 2 | love the gate of heaven by means of this key, he never 644 4, 2 | of its having been opened by the Word; for though I created 645 4, 2 | key in your hand and walk by the doctrine of My Word, 646 4, 2 | may have spoiled his key by his free-will, by the self- 647 4, 2 | his key by his free-will, by the self- same free-will, 648 4, 2 | same free-will, assisted by My grace, he can repair 649 4, 2 | instruments that were used by My Word. Oh! blinder than 650 4, 2 | you must leave mortal sin by a holy confession, contrition 651 4, 2 | of obedience, having seen by the light of faith that 652 4, 2 | fortitude you are great by your long endurance, so 653 4, 2 | a hidden pearl, trampled by the world, abasing yourself, 654 4, 3 | daughter, has been done by My goodness and providence 655 4, 3 | as I have told you, for by My providence the Word repaired 656 4, 3 | the ditch of death, gnawed by the worm of their conscience, 657 4, 3 | supreme infinite good, shared by all those who taste it truly. 658 4, 3 | The blood of the Lamb, by virtue of which the key 659 4, 3 | lost its rust, so that, by the virtue of the blood, 660 4, 3 | off the horns of pride, by which amputation you will 661 4, 3 | in hatred you injure Me by transgressing My precept, 662 4, 3 | as they were said to you by My Truth, who Himself literally 663 4, 5 | advance to the second kind by means of the same light 664 4, 5 | brought her to the first, for by the light of the most holy 665 4, 5 | So she wanders, seeking by that light in what place 666 4, 5 | Enlightened in her search by faith, she finds the place -- 667 4, 5 | which has been founded by the Holy Spirit, appointed 668 4, 5 | pastors and prelates appointed by the Master of the ship. 669 4, 5 | having found her place by the light of faith, enters 670 4, 5 | contrary, she attains it by exercising herself in the 671 4, 5 | into this ship ordained by Me, who call men in different 672 4, 5 | he will be provided for by his Master, who is the Holy 673 4, 5 | and luminously appointed by those who were temples of 674 4, 5 | rather to be thought vile by the world, macerating his 675 4, 5 | and nailed to the cross by love, so that by a singular 676 4, 5 | the cross by love, so that by a singular grace there appeared 677 4, 5 | light which I gave the world by means of Mary, placed in 678 4, 5 | of heresies. Why do I say by means of Mary? Because Mary 679 4, 5 | office was committed to her by My goodness. At what table 680 4, 5 | mortal sin, and illuminated by Me the true light, he provided 681 4, 5 | of error was dissipated by their glance. Look at My 682 4, 5 | light and science infused by grace, for he obtained it 683 4, 5 | for he obtained it rather by means of prayer than by 684 4, 5 | by means of prayer than by human study. He was a brilliant 685 4, 5 | virgin and martyr, who by his blood gave light among 686 4, 5 | laborers were these sent by My Father to labor in His 687 4, 6 | namely, these ships commanded by the Holy Spirit through 688 4, 6 | light of the most holy faith by those who have the light 689 4, 6 | may better know the one by contrast with the other, 690 4, 6 | the light of holy faith, by which he will know that 691 4, 6 | possess anything, for they see by the light of faith to what 692 4, 6 | of their superior. Little by little they are ruined on 693 4, 6 | from walking weighed down by his own will; he also sees 694 4, 6 | that he is obliged to pass by this narrow door, and that 695 4, 6 | with the light of faith by her mother, Charity, should 696 4, 6 | And since he knew by the light of faith that 697 4, 6 | self-will, who, nourished by self-love, gave life to 698 4, 6 | having cut off the source by which all the others are 699 4, 6 | would be given to My name by many observing aright their 700 4, 6 | aright their order than by him doing so alone. Wherefore 701 4, 6 | convert religious and seculars by his words and by prayer, 702 4, 6 | seculars by his words and by prayer, and by every means 703 4, 6 | words and by prayer, and by every means by which he 704 4, 6 | prayer, and by every means by which he can draw them out 705 4, 6 | idleness, nor care to examine by reason the thoughts or opinions 706 4, 6 | his mind, and resisting by watching and humble prayer, 707 4, 6 | corporal exercises, so that by these means he may avoid 708 4, 6 | does not think of laying it by for his own use, but freely 709 4, 6 | obedience. Thus he passes by the assaults of the devils, 710 4, 6 | injuries inflicted on him by his father, so this child 711 4, 6 | or blows inflicted on him by his superior in the order, 712 4, 6 | which also was said to you by My Truth. Justly, therefore, 713 4, 6 | order or superior, exalted by Me, the supreme and eternal 714 4, 7 | lift; and what is meant by this one, and this hundredfold. ~ 715 4, 7 | cannot be added to except by recommencing from the first. 716 4, 7 | virtue can be attained except by recommencing at the beginning 717 4, 7 | eternal life. It is not by faith that they taste eternal 718 4, 7 | believed through faith; nor by hope, for they possess that 719 4, 7 | of divine charity figured by the number of a hundred ( 720 4, 7 | or double. A soul wounded by this sweet arrow does not 721 4, 7 | an open book to be read by all. Wherefore the soul 722 4, 8 | confusion of mind, tormented by the sting of conscience, 723 4, 8 | companion impatience, nourished by pride, and his own pleasure, 724 4, 8 | of charity, he is obliged by force to incline the neck 725 4, 8 | and he desires lewdness. By transgressing these three 726 4, 8 | fruit which they obtained by disobedience to the commendation 727 4, 8 | wretched man is deluded by his self-love, because the 728 4, 8 | is obliged to obey either by force or by love, and it 729 4, 8 | obey either by force or by love, and it would have 730 4, 8 | wearisome to have obeyed by love than without it. Oh! 731 4, 8 | a road of truth founded by the obedient Lamb, My only-begotten 732 4, 8 | from it, so that he walks by the road of lies, believing 733 4, 8 | tempestuous sea, tossed to and fro by contrary winds, fastened 734 4, 8 | fastened only to the ship by his clothes, wearing the 735 4, 8 | What fruit is produced by this wretched tree? ~ 736 4, 8 | corrupted. The leaves produced by this tree, which are his 737 4, 9 | which God has performed by means of this virtue; and 738 4, 9 | told you in the holy gospel by the example of those who 739 4, 9 | standing idle and were sent by the lord of the vineyard 740 4, 9 | have advanced but slowly. By love of obedience, then, 741 4, 9 | in what is ordered them by their superior, but they 742 4, 9 | will, seeing and judging it by the light of faith to be 743 4, 9 | clemency gave him a proof by writing the other half of 744 4, 9 | being given a dry stick by his abbot, and being ordered 745 4, 9 | abbot, and being ordered by obedience to plant it in 746 4, 9 | disobedience, and, covered by the green leaves of virtue, 747 4, 9 | of this tree was called by the holy fathers the fruit 748 4, 9 | certain disciple, commanded by obedience, through his purity 749 4, 9 | might not be tossed about by the wind of vainglory, and 750 4, 9 | My command were not hurt by it. This was the case of 751 4, 9 | Maurus who had been sent by obedience to save a drowning 752 4, 9 | refectory, or his cell? By obedience, with the light 753 4, 9 | allowing himself to be guided by his superior, he has navigated 754 4, 9 | obedience imposed on Him by Me, His Eternal Father, 755 4, 9 | knowledge, and possessing Me by grace, tasting Me by love, 756 4, 9 | Me by grace, tasting Me by love, with the light of 757 4, 9 | promised him at his death by his superior, that is to 758 4, 9 | it cannot be understood by anything smaller than itself, 759 4, 10 | the side, and the mouth -- by which I also figured three 760 4, 10 | and how the soul may know by which road she is walking 761 4, 10 | they went under the Bridge by the Devil's road, when I 762 4, 10 | reassumed their bodies given by Me, also promised you, and 763 4, 10 | you how everything is made by divine providence, from 764 4, 10 | and of the peace given by obedience, and the war of 765 4, 10 | death came into the world by the disobedience of Adam, 766 4, 10 | other servants to grief, for by your grief and humble and 767 4, 11 | intellect, and having known by the light of holy faith 768 4, 11 | have not been repelled by my grave infirmities; You, 769 4, 11 | body to blood, and that by that blood given for love 770 4, 11 | my life being given me by Your power, oh! eternal 771 4, 11 | proceeds from You and Your Son, by whom I am able to love You. 772 4, 11 | receives You -- the true light. By the Light of faith I have 773 4, 11 | suffer me not to faint by the way. This light, without 774 Lette, 0| feeble infant, orphaned by the death of so great a 775 Lette, 0| one hour spent in prayer by her reduced that dear tender 776 Lette, 0| weakness than would be suffered by one who should persist for 777 Lette, 0| finally succumbed, conquered by the innumerable sufferings, 778 Lette, 0| I should fear to injure, by my explanations, facts which 779 Lette, 0| before the Ascension; but by that time it was reduced 780 Lette, 0| seen but the bones, covered by the thinnest skin, and so 781 Lette, 0| bind myself to You alone by sweet, loving, and fervent 782 Lette, 0| loving, and fervent desires, by tears and humble and continuous 783 Lette, 0| love and direct them to You by the way of Life, but I have 784 Lette, 0| it had been granted her by Pope Gregory and Pope Urban, 785 Lette, 0| days the body was visited by crowds of people, and lucky 786 Lette, 0| tomb is visited devoutly by the faithful, like those 787 Lette, 0| more, and we are made great by hearing of them. I say no
