501 3, 17 | will explain further to me about the sign which You 502 3, 17 | which I beg You to tell me, so that I may serve You 503 3, 17 | servants. For it seems to me that the habit of judging 504 3, 18 | of your intellect to see Me, the Infinite Goodness, 505 3, 18 | desire which you feel towards Me, and remember, that if you 506 3, 18 | work of My own hands causes Me delight." ~ 507 3, 18 | lights which issue from Me, the True Light. The first 508 3, 18 | of reason you draw from Me the True Light, by means 509 3, 18 | its means, to arrive at Me, the True Light, for, without 510 3, 18 | bound, to rebel against Me, your Creator (not that 511 3, 18 | the love which she has for Me, her Creator. How does she 512 3, 18 | her head in pride against Me. Wherefore, to one who possesses 513 3, 18 | cannot love or desire either Me, who am the Essential Good, 514 3, 18 | and hates virtue offends Me, and is deprived of My grace. 515 3, 18 | ignorant of virtue and of Me, who am the cause of his 516 3, 19 | discretion, and founded on Me, if, that is to say, they 517 3, 19 | knowledge of themselves and of Me, with great humility, and 518 3, 19 | grace; because it seems to me that I should possess Him 519 3, 20 | should be sanctified in Me. Wherefore the soul having 520 3, 20 | desire, seeking the honor of Me, the Eternal Father, and 521 3, 20 | which was imposed on Him by Me, His Father, not shunning 522 3, 20 | you might open the Door of Me, Eternal Life, with the 523 3, 20 | presuming to choose to serve Me in your own way, instead 524 3, 20 | Him, for no one can reach Me, the Father, if not by Him; 525 3, 20 | which you must enter into Me, the Sea Pacific. ~ 526 3, 20 | the food of the honor of Me, the Eternal God, and of 527 3, 20 | seeking no reward, either from Me or from creatures, because 528 3, 20 | love, that is of love for Me based on interested motives, 529 3, 20 | in perfect light, loving Me in perfect purity, with 530 3, 20 | My Name, serving neither Me for her own delight, nor 531 3, 20 | they remain attached to Me by the umbilical cord of 532 3, 20 | compassion, interceding with Me for sinners and saying, 533 3, 20 | the Divine Grace preserve me.' ~ 534 3, 20 | souls, that is, the honor of Me, the Eternal Father, being 535 3, 20 | but has been ordered in Me, the Eternal God. ~ 536 3, 20 | purity, and were praying to Me with a great desire of doing 537 3, 20 | Unite yourself always to Me by the affection of love, 538 3, 20 | the closer the soul is to Me, the purer she becomes, 539 3, 20 | the further she is from Me, the more does her purity 540 3, 20 | they are separated from Me, while the soul, who, without 541 3, 20 | unites herself directly to Me, participates in My Purity. 542 3, 20 | is to say, offer them to Me, with holy compassion. In 543 3, 20 | be scandalized, either in Me or in your neighbor. Otherwise 544 3, 20 | separates the soul from Me, and prevents perfection, 545 3, 20 | and thus remains united to Me. Wherefore, in order to 546 3, 20 | purity, you must entreat Me to do three things: to grant 547 3, 20 | grant you to be united to Me by the affection of love, 548 3, 20 | benefits you have received from Me; and with the eye of your 549 3, 20 | about which you have asked Me. ~ 550 3, 21 | they wait to receive it in Me, the Eternal Life, where 551 3, 21 | through the offense done to Me by the law of perversity 552 3, 21 | saints, who have arrived at Me, Eternal Life, for, as has 553 3, 21 | their holy desire towards Me, clothed, as has been said, 554 3, 22 | Father, have manifested to me Your Truth, and the hidden 555 3, 22 | Love, because You loved me, without my having loved 556 3, 22 | and Light, have shown to me perfection, and the resplendent 557 3, 22 | dead, and You have brought me to life. I was sick, and 558 3, 22 | sick, and You have given me medicine, and not only the 559 3, 22 | passions, You have made me know my infirmity. Wherefore 560 3, 22 | given by Your goodness to me and to whoever wishes to 561 3, 22 | that this truth given to me, miserable one, by You, 562 3, 22 | those whom You have given me, and whom You have made 563 3, 22 | have made one thing with me, and whom I love with a 564 3, 22 | of them may be taken from me by the hand of the infernal 565 3, 22 | earth to guard and instruct me, miserable infirm one, from 566 3, 22 | according as You will give me grace, to observe Your commandments 567 3, 22 | a word which you said to me in speaking of the ministers 568 3, 22 | that You would speak to me more distinctly, in some 569 3, 22 | please Your goodness to tell me anything of this matter, 570 3, 22 | sentiments may increase in me." ~ 571 3, 23 | you, of whom you spoke to Me, know that you are, in truth, 572 3, 23 | opportunity, for without Me you can do nothing, I will 573 3, 23 | either, in your hope in Me. My Providence will never 574 3, 24 | to that which you asked Me concerning the ministers 575 3, 24 | because He is one thing with Me, the True Sun, in such a 576 3, 24 | separated or divided from Me, as in the case of the natural 577 3, 24 | because He is one thing with Me and I with Him. My power 578 3, 24 | of the Holy Spirit from Me, the Father, or from Him, 579 3, 24 | the benefits received from Me, the Eternal Father, following 580 3, 24 | without the Divinity of Me, the Eternal God, because 581 3, 24 | may the better understand Me. Suppose that there are 582 3, 24 | of your soul created by Me, so fitted for love, that, 583 3, 24 | love, loving and fearing Me, and following the Doctrine 584 3, 24 | would not be separated from Me -- the True Sun, His Eternal 585 3, 24 | He remains wholly with Me, and yet you have Him, whole 586 3, 25 | benefits she receives from Me, the special Gift that she 587 3, 25 | nature, not detached from Me, as I revealed to you, if 588 3, 25 | fearing to have offended Me through the vexation which 589 3, 25 | Sacrament. The soul touches Me with the hand of love, as 590 3, 26 | Sacrament she dwells in Me and I in her, as the fish 591 3, 26 | the soul, and the soul in Me -- the Sea Pacific. In that 592 3, 26 | but constantly united to Me. The Abyss of My loving 593 3, 26 | constrained and obliged to render Me love, because I love you 594 3, 27 | see their offenses against Me, but also, that, if they 595 3, 27 | office of administering Me to you, and have placed 596 3, 27 | charity, that they should love Me and their neighbor, helping 597 3, 27 | ministers, and love towards Me, and towards their fellow-creatures, 598 3, 27 | My only-begotten Son, and Me the True Light, as I told 599 3, 28 | of his intellect to know Me, who gave him both grace 600 3, 28 | so ordered as to receive Me, the True Sun, unless all 601 3, 28 | in the contemplation of Me, affection follows it, loving 602 3, 28 | the soul participates in Me, the Sun who illuminates 603 3, 28 | power of their soul with Me, the true Sun, they become 604 3, 28 | true Sun, they become like Me. The Sun illuminates them 605 3, 28 | in order to administer Me, the Sun, that is to say, 606 3, 28 | condition of the Sun from Me, the True Sun, because, 607 3, 28 | they are one thing with Me, and I with them, as I narrated 608 3, 28 | deed, receiving virtue from Me. If you turn to Augustine, 609 3, 28 | Christ on earth, offered Me the sacrifice of justice 610 3, 28 | because they justly paid Me My due, in rendering glory 611 3, 28 | embracing virtue, with love of Me and of their neighbor. With 612 3, 28 | offering up for them before Me, sweet and amorous desires 613 3, 28 | that a creature hopes in Me and not in himself, is that 614 3, 28 | that My creatures hope in Me, will My providence be measured 615 3, 28 | if it be not guarded by Me. All his labor will be vain, 616 3, 28 | and therefore they loved Me ineffably, and through their 617 3, 28 | love hoped so greatly in Me that they feared nothing. 618 3, 28 | enjoyment of love, they were in Me, and from Me they acquired 619 3, 28 | they were in Me, and from Me they acquired the light 620 3, 28 | only-begotten Son, and from Me they received the faculty 621 3, 28 | tyrants of the world, and from Me they had the fire of the 622 3, 28 | because he alone is without Me who give supreme security 623 3, 28 | to the soul who possesses Me through the affection of 624 3, 28 | hope they had placed in Me. Your tongue would not be 625 3, 28 | are peculiarly beloved by Me, on account of the dignity 626 3, 28 | recognized it to be from Me, and exercised it with care 627 3, 28 | which they had conceived in Me. They ran to feed on it 628 3, 29 | those who punish them offend Me miserably. But I wish seculars 629 3, 29 | in them) through love of Me, the Eternal God, who send 630 3, 29 | should offer them before Me with tears and great desire, 631 3, 29 | leaving their judgment to Me. And I, moved by your prayers, 632 3, 30 | hatred of self, and love of Me, and with the light of reason, 633 3, 30 | the holy faith, she sees Me, the Infinite and Eternal 634 3, 30 | of the Word she reaches Me, the Sea Pacific. For sea 635 3, 30 | he who knows more loves Me more, and he who loves Me 636 3, 30 | Me more, and he who loves Me more receives more. Your 637 3, 30 | love, and if you should ask Me, whether one who has no 638 3, 30 | their place of repose in Me. The hope with which they 639 3, 30 | their confidence towards Me. Their heart, which was 640 3, 30 | heart then arises and seizes Me, who am its End, with ineffable 641 3, 30 | ineffable love, restoring to Me the pearl of justice which 642 3, 30 | Wherefore this man renders to Me justice with true humility, 643 3, 30 | Name, because he refers to Me the grace of having been 644 3, 30 | good testimony of him to Me, and I justly give him the 645 3, 30 | the benefits received from Me, and have not been negligent 646 3, 30 | vision which they have of Me, which they see by faith 647 3, 30 | the word and entered into Me; and by My goodness each 648 3, 30 | according as he has measured to Me." ~ 649 3, 31 | he lived unfaithfully to Me -- self-love having veiled 650 3, 31 | because they have not hoped in Me, neither in the Blood of 651 3, 31 | to render an account to Me; now he finds himself denuded 652 3, 31 | say that he who strikes Me with the arm of My mercy 653 3, 31 | that they should offend Me by means of My mercy, but 654 3, 31 | way, because they offend Me in the hope which they have 655 3, 31 | much more displeasing to Me and injures them much more 656 3, 31 | them and displeasing to Me, because they commit other 657 3, 31 | for his offense against Me as he should, grieving indeed 658 3, 31 | for the offense done to Me, and therefore he receives 659 3, 31 | for the offense done to Me, and hoped in My mercy, 660 3, 31 | wherefore it greatly displeases Me that they should consider 661 3, 31 | because despair displeases Me so much that I wish them 662 3, 31 | they did nothing but offend Me miserably. Oh! blinder than 663 3, 31 | your heart was far from Me. Conscience also shows you 664 3, 31 | doctrine of My truth to Me and not to himself, wherefore 665 3, 31 | wherefore he exalts in Me, with this truly illuminated 666 3, 31 | more they have received of Me, and the more they are enlightened 667 3, 32 | Infinite God, to illuminate me, Your finite creature, with 668 3, 32 | charity. And can a wretch like me pay back to You the graces 669 3, 32 | burning love in particular to me beyond common charity, and 670 3, 32 | thankful and grateful for me, that is, that the affection 671 3, 32 | that You have bestowed upon me, I have from You, who give 672 3, 32 | from You, who give them to me through love, and not as 673 3, 32 | infirmity. You have soothed me because with Your love and 674 3, 32 | have manifested Yourself to me, Sweet above all sweetness, 675 3, 32 | pleased You to manifest it to me, I have known the excellence 676 3, 32 | promise that You made to me, and You gave much more, 677 3, 32 | this life. You have shown me the virtue and beatitude 678 3, 32 | over their iniquities to me -- a wretch who am the cause 679 3, 32 | have manifested this to me, giving me a sweet and bitter 680 3, 32 | manifested this to me, giving me a sweet and bitter medicine 681 3, 32 | Father, for having granted me that which I asked You and 682 3, 32 | asked, for by thus giving me matter for grief You have 683 3, 32 | for grief You have invited me to offer before You sweet, 684 3, 32 | fulfill that which You caused me to ask You. Alas! what a 685 3, 32 | Ah me! You cause them to cry in 686 4, 1 | your desire. And if you ask Me where obedience is to be 687 4, 1 | obedience imposed on him by Me, the Eternal Father. It 688 4, 1 | loved, did not return to Me, his End, took the keys 689 4, 1 | that 'no one could come to Me, the Father, if not by Him.' 690 4, 1 | Him.' When He returned to Me, rising to Heaven from the 691 4, 1 | thus always looking on Me, the eternal God. His fidelity 692 4, 1 | faith. He was faithful to Me, His eternal Father, and 693 4, 1 | displease herself, and to please Me. Where does she find this? 694 4, 1 | life, in order to please Me. And who was more patient 695 4, 1 | obedience imposed on Him by Me, His Eternal Father. Wherefore 696 4, 2 | chief of which is to love Me above everything, and your 697 4, 2 | others; he is faithful to Me and his neighbor, for he 698 4, 2 | his neighbor, for he loves Me and My creature, and is 699 4, 2 | to the love of pleasing Me, Your creator, of which 700 4, 2 | has ordered him to desire Me alone, who can and will 701 4, 3 | injuries which you do to Me and to your neighbor with 702 4, 3 | remaining in hatred you injure Me by transgressing My precept, 703 4, 3 | have been commanded to love Me above everything, and your 704 4, 5 | which cannot respond to Me with due perfection. So 705 4, 5 | into this ship ordained by Me, who call men in different 706 4, 5 | sin, and illuminated by Me the true light, he provided 707 4, 6 | the soul should have in Me; injustice cannot be conformed 708 4, 6 | which saddens him is to see Me, his Creator, offended. 709 4, 6 | with those who truly fear Me, and if he should converse 710 4, 6 | delighting there to converse with Me, his supreme and eternal 711 4, 6 | eye of his intellect on Me, and seeing with the light 712 4, 6 | fly himself and come to Me. And if it should seem to 713 4, 6 | avoid idleness. He looks at Me with the light which I give 714 4, 6 | the little ones to come to Me, for of such is the kingdom 715 4, 6 | or superior, exalted by Me, the supreme and eternal 716 4, 7 | other way could you follow Me. And I, in this life, will 717 4, 7 | to those who have given Me the unit of their own will, 718 4, 7 | their fruit, I say, into Me, the eternal life, in whom 719 4, 7 | alone enters and possesses Me, her possessor. See, therefore, 720 4, 7 | received this hundredfold from Me, they possess a wonderful 721 4, 8 | with his lips he approaches Me, with his heart he is far 722 4, 8 | his heart he is far from Me. He gladly escapes from 723 4, 8 | because they rebelled against Me. In the same way have you, 724 4, 9 | the vessel of her heart in Me, the Sea Pacific. There 725 4, 9 | prompt obedience was to Me, My clemency gave him a 726 4, 9 | virtue is so pleasing to Me, that to no other have I 727 4, 9 | show how pleasing it is to Me, the earth obeys this virtue, 728 4, 9 | contemplation and union of mind with Me, that your body was raised 729 4, 9 | and how pleasing it is to Me. Everything that the obedient 730 4, 9 | knowledge of self, and of Me, knowing her own non- existence 731 4, 9 | obedience imposed on Him by Me, His Eternal Father, so 732 4, 9 | knowledge, and possessing Me by grace, tasting Me by 733 4, 9 | possessing Me by grace, tasting Me by love, with the light 734 4, 9 | receives his end from Me, his Creator." ~ 735 4, 10 | you made four petitions of Me with anxious desire, or 736 4, 10 | knowledge of yourself and Me, through the light of faith. 737 4, 10 | second request you made of Me was that I should do mercy 738 4, 10 | a sin committed against Me, the Infinite Good, unless 739 4, 10 | reassumed their bodies given by Me, also promised you, and 740 4, 10 | and how displeasing to me is such diminution of reverence; 741 4, 10 | you may be sanctified in Me, and My Truth be fulfilled 742 4, 11 | for You have not despised me, the work of Your hands, 743 4, 11 | nor turned Your face from me, nor despised my desires; 744 4, 11 | many others which are in me. Having known the truth 745 4, 11 | neighbor. What has constrained me? Not my virtues, but only 746 4, 11 | which You have manifested to me. Grant that my memory may 747 4, 11 | may that fire so work in me that I give my body to blood, 748 4, 11 | not deny that You loved me before I existed, and that 749 4, 11 | and that Your love for me is ineffable, as if You 750 4, 11 | knowledge which You have given me of Yourself in Your truth, 751 4, 11 | in Your truth, constrains me to long to abandon the heaviness 752 4, 11 | image, my life being given me by Your power, oh! eternal 753 4, 11 | creation which You have given me in the blood of Your Son, 754 4, 11 | what more could You give me than Yourself; You are the 755 4, 11 | light You do illuminate me so that I may know all Your 756 4, 11 | of faith I hope, suffer me not to faint by the way. 757 4, 11 | walk in darkness, teaches me the road, and for this I 758 4, 11 | that You have illuminated me with the light of holy faith. 759 4, 11 | the Eternal Trinity, bid me gaze, holding it with the 760 4, 11 | in You, and Yourself in me through the union which 761 4, 11 | light, which You have given me with the light of holy faith, 762 4, 11 | things You have declared to me, explaining to me the path 763 4, 11 | declared to me, explaining to me the path of supreme perfection, 764 4, 11 | benefits as You have given me in this doctrine of truth, 765 4, 11 | Your servant, penetrating me with a ray of grace, so 766 4, 11 | give You thanks. Clothe me, clothe me with You, oh! 767 4, 11 | thanks. Clothe me, clothe me with You, oh! Eternal Truth, 768 Lette, 0| graces afresh every day to me, Your miserable and most 769 Lette, 0| Oh Lord, have mercy on me!" And this, as I believe, 770 Lette, 0| Holy God, have mercy on me!" Finally she employed the 771 Lette, 0| Your goodness laid upon me in particular! Oh mean creature 772 Lette, 0| with which You commanded me to seek always to give You 773 Lette, 0| necessary. Did You not command me, oh, my God! to abandon 774 Lette, 0| consolation. You did ever invite me to bind myself to You alone 775 Lette, 0| the holy Church, promising me that, on account of them, 776 Lette, 0| that I am! You have placed me in charge of souls, assigning 777 Lette, 0| charge of souls, assigning to me so many beloved sons, that 778 Lette, 0| with which You sent them to me. Alas! oh, my Love, through 779 Lette, 0| excessive goodness You chose me for Your spouse, from the 780 Lette, 0| Christ crucified, absolve me of all these sins which 781 Lette, 0| another, and finally to me, and then turned herself 782 Lette, 0| saying: "You, oh Lord, call me, and I come to You, not 783 Lette, 0| I say no more. Recommend me to the Prioress and all
