You have soothed me because with 595 3, 32 | love and gentleness You have manifested Yourself to me, 596 3, 32 | above all sweetness, and have illuminated the eye of my 597 3, 32 | to manifest it to me, I have known the excellence of 598 3, 32 | excellence of grace which You have given to the human race, 599 3, 32 | of the holy Church. And I have known the dignity of Your 600 3, 32 | Your ministers whom You have appointed to administer 601 3, 32 | not ask You. Moreover, I have received light from Your 602 3, 32 | through the love which You have for the whole human race, 603 3, 32 | angels in this life. You have shown me the virtue and 604 3, 32 | these Your anointed ones who have lived like burning lamps, 605 3, 32 | comparison with these I have better understood the sins 606 3, 32 | wretchedly. Wherefore I have conceived a very great sorrow 607 3, 32 | virtue. And because You have manifested and grieved over 608 3, 32 | You, oh! inestimable love, have manifested this to me, giving 609 3, 32 | ignorance and negligence, and have recourse to You with anxious 610 3, 32 | me matter for grief You have invited me to offer before 611 3, 32 | ineffable love which You have for man, wherefore the fire 612 3, 32 | this door -- Your truth -- have You washed our iniquities 613 3, 32 | The Blood is ours, for You have made it our bath, wherefore 614 3, 32 | putrid flowers of sin. You have said, Eternal Father, that 615 3, 32 | through the love which You have for Your rational creatures, 616 3, 32 | inestimable love which You have given us through the door 617 3, 32 | affection of love which You have given to Your servants, 618 3, 32 | possible, and even though You have created us without our own 619 3, 32 | Your infinite mercy. You have created us from nothing; 620 3, 32 | remake the vessels which You have created to Your image and 621 4, 1 | request, oh! dearest daughter, have a right to be heard, and 622 4, 1 | to you. The sign that you have this virtue is patience, 623 4, 1 | impatience the sign that you have it not, and you will find 624 4, 1 | state of damnation, as I have already told you in another 625 4, 1 | without the other. Either you have them both or you have neither. 626 4, 1 | you have them both or you have neither. This virtue has 627 4, 2 | Now that I have shown you where obedience 628 4, 2 | not practiced by you. I have already told you that this 629 4, 2 | with self-love. It would have been entirely destroyed 630 4, 2 | matter how much a man may have spoiled his key by his free-will, 631 4, 2 | prove to them, that they have lost it? Impatience, for 632 4, 2 | one can rule you, for you have come out of the mortal servitude 633 4, 2 | dislike of your own pleasure have re-obtained your liberty." ~ 634 4, 3 | goodness and providence as I have told you, for by My providence 635 4, 3 | the law if they will, and have the time repenting of their 636 4, 3 | of your love, whereas you have been commanded to love Me 637 4, 3 | these words as if it should have been said, if your neighbor 638 4, 4 | Of those who have such love for obedience 639 4, 4 | obliged to do if you will have life and not death, but 640 4, 4 | Heaven. These are they, as I have told you, who have chosen 641 4, 4 | as I have told you, who have chosen the most perfect 642 4, 4 | most perfect obedience. I have already spoken to you of 643 4, 4 | more perfect, for, as I have already told you, these 644 4, 4 | they cannot be separated. I have told you where general obedience 645 4, 5 | most holy faith she would have learnt, in the blood of 646 4, 5 | the ineffable love which I have for her, and her own fragility, 647 4, 5 | that is to say, if she have perfectly observed general 648 4, 5 | depends on whether after they have entered they exercise themselves 649 4, 5 | their perseverance, for many have appeared to be perfect who 650 4, 5 | appeared to be perfect who have afterwards turned back, 651 4, 5 | imperfection, so that, as I have said, the act of entrance 652 4, 5 | poverty, each would not have taken his own, and lived 653 4, 5 | so that they might not have the care of temporal things. 654 4, 5 | can be no obedience. I have already told you that a 655 4, 5 | but transgress its vows, have turned it into a desert 656 4, 6 | places suitable for obedience have been found, namely, these 657 4, 6 | holy faith by those who have the light to know that My 658 4, 6 | however he may enter it (for I have told you that I call souls 659 4, 6 | of Heaven. Such as these have undertaken to open the little 660 4, 6 | the door of Heaven, as I have said to you. They have taken 661 4, 6 | I have said to you. They have taken a little key, passing 662 4, 6 | keep this key when they have got it, and not throw it 663 4, 6 | because the truly obedient have seen with the light of faith 664 4, 6 | happen to them because they have money to spend, for if they 665 4, 6 | and quiet, for her enemies have been exiled. She dwells 666 4, 6 | Who are her enemies who have been expelled? The chief 667 4, 6 | hope which the soul should have in Me; injustice cannot 668 4, 6 | that his brother should have less thereof, for if he 669 4, 6 | delights therein, and so as to have no reason to remain without, 670 4, 7 | Peter's demand, 'Master, we have left everything for your 671 4, 7 | for your love's sake, and have followed You, what will 672 4, 7 | had wished to say, 'You have done well, Peter, for in 673 4, 7 | which is given to those who have given Me the unit of their 674 4, 7 | essence that which they have believed through faith; 675 4, 7 | said). And because they have received this hundredfold 676 4, 8 | or by love, and it would have been better and less wearisome 677 4, 8 | better and less wearisome to have obeyed by love than without 678 4, 8 | the actions which he will have to do, through the obedience 679 4, 8 | moment of death, he will have no remedy. No, he does not 680 4, 8 | ribald secular; and if he have to preach My doctrine, he 681 4, 8 | from your disobedience. You have not chosen the virtues for 682 4, 8 | it were a prison, for you have abandoned the cell of self-knowledge, 683 4, 8 | against your will whilst you have anything to spend; when 684 4, 8 | anything to spend; when you have nothing left necessity takes 685 4, 8 | Therefore the obedient have done well, who have chosen 686 4, 8 | obedient have done well, who have chosen to observe their 687 4, 8 | of poverty, so that they have nothing to spend, and therefore 688 4, 8 | against Me. In the same way have you, oh! disobedient man, 689 4, 8 | you the key which would have opened the door of heaven, 690 4, 9 | I have appointed you all to labor 691 4, 9 | who comes early will not have more than he who comes late, 692 4, 9 | childhood, because they have advanced but slowly. By 693 4, 9 | to Me, that to no other have I given so many miraculous 694 4, 9 | Beast that you are, you have brought along another beast 695 4, 9 | yourself.' And as to fire, you have read in the holy scripture 696 4, 9 | because obedience and faith have taken all darkness from 697 4, 9 | the ineffable love which I have for her, and the obedience 698 4, 9 | this joy, the good which I have in Myself, I share with 699 4, 10 | I have now, oh dearest and best 700 4, 10 | one for yourself, which I have satisfied, illuminating 701 4, 10 | How this is to be done I have explained to you. I have 702 4, 10 | have explained to you. I have also told you that I wish 703 4, 10 | excellence of unitive love. I have shown you clearly in each 704 4, 10 | of these three states I have also spoken of the three 705 4, 10 | blessed, when all shall have reassumed their bodies given 706 4, 10 | over her iniquities. And I have shown you the excellence 707 4, 10 | excellence of the ministers I have given her, and the reverence 708 4, 10 | which germinates death. I have also answered your fourth 709 4, 10 | case of an individual; I have provided as you know. Further 710 4, 10 | know. Further than this, I have explained My providence 711 4, 10 | I have also in My last words fulfilled 712 4, 10 | obtained and how destroyed. I have shown it to you as a universal 713 4, 10 | universal key, and so it is. I have also spoken to you of particular 714 4, 10 | begotten Word, My Son, you have life, and as from that first 715 4, 10 | take the key of obedience have contracted the infection 716 4, 10 | than at first, for now I have manifested to you My Truth. 717 4, 10 | spend the treasure which I have given you, which is a doctrine 718 4, 11 | eternal Father, for You have not despised me, the work 719 4, 11 | desires; You, the Light, have not regarded my darkness; 720 4, 11 | darkness; You, true Life, have not regarded my living death; 721 4, 11 | death; You, the Physician, have not been repelled by my 722 4, 11 | You, the eternal Purity, have not considered the many 723 4, 11 | You, who are the Infinite, have overlooked that I am finite; 724 4, 11 | finite; You, who are Wisdom, have overlooked my folly; Your 725 4, 11 | clemency, Your infinite good, have overlooked these infinite 726 4, 11 | through Your clemency, I have found Your charity, and 727 4, 11 | understand the truth which You have manifested to me. Grant 728 4, 11 | The knowledge which You have given me of Yourself in 729 4, 11 | praise of Your Name, for I have tasted and seen with the 730 4, 11 | the new creation which You have given me in the blood of 731 4, 11 | By the Light of faith I have acquired wisdom in the wisdom 732 4, 11 | Eternal Father, that You have illuminated me with the 733 4, 11 | the food of the angels, have given Yourself in a fire 734 4, 11 | oh! Eternal Trinity, I have known in Your light, which 735 4, 11 | in Your light, which You have given me with the light 736 4, 11 | and wonderful things You have declared to me, explaining 737 4, 11 | sins, for through them I have hitherto served You in darkness. 738 4, 11 | served You in darkness. I have not known Your truth and 739 4, 11 | not known Your truth and have not loved it. Why did I 740 4, 11 | You, the Eternal Trinity, have dissipated the darkness 741 4, 11 | gifts and benefits as You have given me in this doctrine 742 4, 11 | Your other creatures? You have been willing to condescend 743 Lette, 0| case what my feeble eyes have seen, and what the dull 744 Lette, 0| the dull senses of my soul have been able to comprehend. ~ 745 Lette, 0| one who had seen her would have thought her dead, and was 746 Lette, 0| silence, she began to say: "I have sinned! Oh Lord, have mercy 747 Lette, 0| I have sinned! Oh Lord, have mercy on me!" And this, 748 Lette, 0| moving her arms, "Holy God, have mercy on me!" Finally she 749 Lette, 0| eternal Trinity, that I have offended You so miserably 750 Lette, 0| Wretch that I am! for I have not observed Your commandments, 751 Lette, 0| confession, and continued: "I have not observed Your precept, 752 Lette, 0| while I, on the contrary, have fled from labors, especially 753 Lette, 0| to comfort myself? But I have sought my own consolation. 754 Lette, 0| Spouse; but I, wretched one, have not corresponded with Your 755 Lette, 0| corresponded with Your desire, but have remained asleep in the bed 756 Lette, 0| unhappy that I am! You have placed me in charge of souls, 757 Lette, 0| by the way of Life, but I have been to them nothing but 758 Lette, 0| mirror of human weakness; I have had no care of them; I have 759 Lette, 0| have had no care of them; I have not helped them with continuous 760 Lette, 0| prayer in Your presence, nor have I given them sufficient 761 Lette, 0| with how little reverence have I received Your innumerable 762 Lette, 0| on this fragile body, nor have I endured them with that 763 Lette, 0| most high benefits; nor have I fixed my intelligence 764 Lette, 0| of all these sins which I have confessed in the presence 765 Lette, 0| care which she seemed to have had of our salvation. Then 766 Lette, 0| but the very stones might have been broken. Finally, making 767 Lette, 0| and all the sisters, for I have, at present, the greatest
