Thus he came to transgress My obedience 131 2, 6 | and, in his affliction, he feels himself being consumed 132 2, 6 | conscience, though, in truth, he is not consumed, because 133 2, 7 | similitude, in order that he might have Eternal Life, 134 2, 7 | been obedient to him, had he remained in the state in 135 2, 7 | which I had placed him.

And, as soon as he had sinned, a tempestuous 137 2, 7 | to Me, and how ignorant he is, not to take the remedy 138 2, 10 | retains the great bitterness He tasted, when He was given 139 2, 10 | bitterness He tasted, when He was given gall and vinegar 140 2, 10 | I say consumed, because He does not love you for His 141 2, 10 | be of no profit to Him, He being one and the same thing 142 2, 10 | that, being lifted on high, He was not lifted out of the 143 2, 10 | lifted on high, wherefore He said, -- 'Si exaltatus fuero 144 2, 10 | I sent Him in order that He should be lifted on high 145 2, 10 | life of grace; wherefore He drew everything to Himself 146 2, 10 | that, being lifted on high, He would draw all things to 147 2, 11 | to the travelers; and how he who goes over the Bridge 148 2, 11 | Bridge goes to life, while he who goes under It goes to 149 2, 11 | whom I have spoken to you, He, who was Himself the Bridge, 150 2, 11 | footsteps of His doctrine. He has built a wall of the 151 2, 11 | rain of Divine justice, for he is sheltered by the mercy 152 2, 11 | all must enter, wherefore He says: 'I am the Way, the 153 2, 11 | the Truth, and the Life, he who follows Me does not 154 2, 11 | indeed it is. Therefore He says of Himself that He 155 2, 11 | He says of Himself that He is the Road, and this is 156 2, 11 | have already shown you that He is a Road in the form of 157 2, 11 | form of the Bridge. And He says that He is the Truth, 158 2, 11 | Bridge. And He says that He is the Truth, and so He 159 2, 11 | He is the Truth, and so He is, because He is united 160 2, 11 | Truth, and so He is, because He is united with Me who am 161 2, 11 | Me who am the Truth, and he who follows Him, walks in 162 2, 11 | Truth, and in Life, because he who follows this Truth receives 163 2, 11 | in the darkness, because He is light without any falsehood. 164 2, 11 | falsehood. And, with that Truth, He confounded and destroyed 165 2, 11 | told to Eve, with which he broke up the road to Heaven, 166 2, 11 | But he, who walks not on this road, 167 2, 11 | although it seems to him that he stands still and the creatures 168 2, 11 | still and the creatures that he loves pass by, and yet he 169 2, 11 | he loves pass by, and yet he is passing himself continually 170 2, 11 | his journey -- death! And he would gladly retain himself ( 171 2, 11 | life, and the things that he loves), but he does not 172 2, 11 | things that he loves), but he does not succeed, either, 173 2, 11 | through death, by which he has to leave them, or through 174 2, 12 | to every man according as he deserves. Wherefore every 175 2, 12 | for, even in this life, he tastes and participates 176 2, 12 | for him in eternal life. He, therefore, is a fool indeed, 177 2, 12 | And thus, you see that He is the Truth, made in the 178 2, 13 | stand here any longer, for He is seated at the right hand 179 2, 13 | hand of the Father!' When He, then, had thus ascended 180 2, 13 | essence of the Holy Spirit. He is one thing with Me, the 181 2, 13 | Father, and with My Son. And He built up the road of the 182 2, 13 | this Bridge. For first, He practiced this doctrine 183 2, 13 | rather than by words; for He practiced, first Himself, 184 2, 13 | practiced, first Himself, what He afterwards taught you, then 185 2, 13 | that every person may, if he will, be illuminated to 186 2, 13 | to know the Truth, unless he choose to deprive his reason 187 2, 13 | deed amongst men, and when He, the living Bridge, left 188 2, 13 | so that, in this road, he may recognize the truth, 189 2, 13 | and through His doctrine, He is the Way, the Truth, and 190 2, 13 | of Heaven. This is what He meant when He said, 'I came 191 2, 13 | This is what He meant when He said, 'I came from the Father, 192 2, 13 | and attain to life.' Then He says, 'I will return to 193 2, 13 | is called the Paraclete, He will show you more clearly, 194 2, 13 | that I have given you.' He said that He would return, 195 2, 13 | given you.' He said that He would return, and He did 196 2, 13 | that He would return, and He did return, because the 197 2, 13 | See then how He returns, not in actual flesh 198 2, 13 | For in His bodily presence He will not return until the 199 2, 13 | last Day of Judgment, when He will come again with My 200 2, 15 | body lives), asks My help, he can have it, but never can 201 2, 15 | can have it, but never can he help himself; he has become 202 2, 15 | never can he help himself; he has become insupportable 203 2, 15 | a tree of death, because he has not drawn life from 204 2, 17 | thing with his tongue, while he has another in his heart, 205 2, 19 | Son, the glorious Bridge, He drawing you from out of 206 2, 19 | confound pride. By His death He destroyed every vice, so 207 2, 19 | I said that of His Body He had made an anvil. All the 208 2, 19 | was meant by My Truth when He said: 'I will send the Paraclete, 209 2, 20 | Man wants My succor when he comes out of the river, 210 2, 22 | not know well how horrible he is, because, by Divine justice, 211 2, 22 | because, by Divine justice, he appears more horrible to 212 2, 23 | world with Divine Power, He will not come like a poor 213 2, 23 | like a poor one, as when He was born, coming in the 214 2, 23 | satisfy for your guilt. He will not come thus in that 215 2, 23 | in that last moment, but He will come, with power, to 216 2, 23 | His face changes, because He is unchangeable, being one 217 2, 23 | Divine Majesty, with which He will come to judge the world, 218 2, 24 | demonstrated to you when he begged the favor that Lazarus 219 2, 24 | pains. This, certainly, he did not do out of love or 220 2, 24 | compassion for his brothers, for he was deprived of love and 221 2, 24 | virtue. But why then did he do it? He did it because 222 2, 24 | But why then did he do it? He did it because he was the 223 2, 24 | do it? He did it because he was the eldest, and had 224 2, 24 | the same miseries in which he had lived, so that he was 225 2, 24 | which he had lived, so that he was the cause of their damnation, 226 2, 24 | of their damnation, and he saw pain increased to himself, 227 2, 25 | will dwell in Him, because He is one thing with Me. But 228 2, 25 | is not in His Face, when He comes to judge with My Divine 229 2, 25 | judged by Him. To the damned He will appear with hatred 230 2, 26 | worldly substance which he loved disordinately, and 231 2, 26 | to the Father but by Me.' He is the Door and the Way 232 2, 27 | becomes a knife, with which he strikes you and slays you. 233 2, 27 | of the Devil, that is, if he do not consent to his temptations 234 2, 27 | temptations and molestations, he will never be injured by 235 2, 27 | pains and vexations which he would flee; and he knows 236 2, 27 | which he would flee; and he knows Me in his will, which 237 2, 27 | yield to these thoughts. And he has seen that My love permits 238 2, 27 | contrary. You see, then, that he is my Minister to torture 239 2, 27 | prove virtue in you (for he has not love), but rather 240 2, 27 | deprive you of it, and this he cannot do, if you do not 241 2, 27 | that is, to that which he has, and, blinding them 242 2, 27 | conditions of the world, he catches them with the hook 243 2, 27 | because in no other way could he catch them, for they would 244 2, 27 | some benefit or good; and he gives to everyone according 245 2, 27 | principal vices to which he sees him to be most disposed -- 246 2, 27 | the other; but as soon as he, with hatred and displeasure 247 2, 27 | follow Christ crucified,' he breaks at once the thorn, 248 2, 30 | Word Incarnate, meant, when He said: 'When there are two 249 2, 32 | particular, by My Truth, when He cried in the Temple, saying: ' 250 2, 32 | Fountain of the Water of Life.' He did not say 'Go to the Father 251 2, 32 | the Father and drink,' but He said 'Come to Me.' He spoke 252 2, 32 | but He said 'Come to Me.' He spoke thus, because in Me, 253 2, 32 | forth thorns. And why did He say 'Let him come to Me 254 2, 32 | one thing with Him, and He with Me. So that you are 255 2, 32 | only-begotten Son. And why did He say: 'I am the Fountain 256 2, 32 | of Living Water'? Because He was the Fountain which contained 257 2, 32 | the human nature. Why did He say 'Come to Me and drink'? 258 2, 32 | to Me except by Him, as He told you in the words: ' 259 2, 33 | him come to Me and drink.' He who has no thirst will not 260 2, 33 | to stop, or pleasure, and he does not care to carry the 261 2, 33 | carry the vessel with which he may get the water, and neither 262 2, 33 | water, and neither does he care for the company, and 263 2, 33 | for the company, and alone he cannot go, and he turns 264 2, 33 | alone he cannot go, and he turns back at the smallest 265 2, 33 | prick of persecution, for he loves it not. He is afraid 266 2, 33 | persecution, for he loves it not. He is afraid because he is 267 2, 33 | not. He is afraid because he is alone; were he accompanied 268 2, 33 | because he is alone; were he accompanied he would not 269 2, 33 | alone; were he accompanied he would not fear, and had 270 2, 33 | would not fear, and had he ascended the three steps 271 2, 33 | ascended the three steps he would not have been alone, 272 2, 33 | indifferent trifle, for he who is wrapped up in self-love 273 2, 33 | Why is he solitary? Because he is 274 2, 33 | is he solitary? Because he is separated from My grace 275 2, 33 | by sin, deprived of Me, he turns to that which is naught, 276 2, 33 | is naught, because I am He that is. So that he who 277 2, 33 | I am He that is. So that he who is solitary, that is, 278 2, 33 | is not acceptable to Me. He says then: 'If there be 279 2, 33 | thirst is spent and dead, and he then proceeds securely without 280 2, 33 | transitory things, or, if he will still hold them, he 281 2, 33 | he will still hold them, he does so according to My 282 2, 33 | fear, and love of virtue. He then finds that he has attained 283 2, 33 | virtue. He then finds that he has attained to the second 284 2, 33 | I shown My love to man. He finds peace and quiet, because 285 2, 33 | climbed the three steps, he finds that the three powers 286 2, 33 | midst of her. Wherefore then he follows on with anxious 287 2, 33 | way of Truth, in which way he finds the Fountain of the 288 2, 33 | neighbor, without which thirst he would not be able to arrive 289 2, 33 | arrive at the Fountain. He walks on, carrying the vessel 290 2, 33 | Divine love, with which he arrives at the Fountain 291 2, 35 | but to fulfill it.' And He united the law of fear with 292 2, 35 | was taken away, that is, he who offended was no longer 293 2, 35 | time for mercy, but when he is dead comes the time of 294 2, 35 | comes the time of justice. He ought, then, to arise from 295 2, 37 | the time of trouble came, he failed, and so disgraceful 296 2, 37 | fall, that, not only could he not bear any pain himself, 297 2, 37 | the virtuous love, which he bears to his master, as 298 2, 37 | Truth said in these words: 'He who loves Me shall be one 299 2, 38 | shown in the Blood, which He spilled with such fire of 300 2, 39 | truly My Word spoke, when He said: 'He who loves Me shall 301 2, 39 | Word spoke, when He said: 'He who loves Me shall be one 302 2, 39 | manifest Myself to you,' He said the truth, because, 303 2, 39 | in manifesting Himself, He manifested Me, and, in manifesting 304 2, 39 | and, in manifesting Me, He manifested Himself. But 305 2, 39 | manifested Himself. But why did He not say, 'I will manifest 306 2, 39 | particular. First, because He wished to show that He and 307 2, 39 | because He wished to show that He and I are not separate from 308 2, 39 | other, on which account He also made the following 309 2, 39 | reply to S. Philip, when he said to Him, 'Show us the 310 2, 39 | the Father sees Me.' This He said because He was one 311 2, 39 | Me.' This He said because He was one thing with Me, and 312 2, 39 | with Me, and that which He had, He had from Me, I having 313 2, 39 | and that which He had, He had from Me, I having nothing 314 2, 39 | from Him; wherefore, again, He said to Judas, 'My doctrine 315 2, 39 | Him, though I with Him and He with Me are but one thing. 316 2, 39 | one thing. For this reason He did not say 'I will manifest 317 2, 39 | manifesting Himself to you, He did not present to you anything 318 2, 39 | present to you anything He had not received from Me, 319 2, 39 | flesh of your humanity. He manifested Me to you. Therefore 320 2, 39 | you. Therefore it was that He did not say 'I will manifest 321 2, 39 | manifest Myself to you,' as if He should say, 'According as 322 2, 39 | manifestation of Himself, He manifests Me.' Now therefore 323 2, 39 | therefore you understand why He did not say 'I will manifest 324 2, 39 | mortal body, and because He is one thing with Me." ~ 325 2, 40 | with the foot of affection, he has reached the secret of 326 2, 40 | and how, from a friend, he grows into a son, attaining 327 2, 40 | and how a man may know if he has become a friend. And 328 2, 40 | exercise and perseverance, he arrives at the love of delight, 329 2, 40 | necessary stage, by which he must pass, who would attain 330 2, 40 | into a son. What means does he take to arrive thereat? 331 2, 40 | self-knowledge in which he will learn My mercy, in 332 2, 40 | Truth showed you this when He said to the disciples 'I 333 2, 40 | Everything that He said was said primarily, 334 2, 40 | who should come after.

This He said, judging that Paul 341 2, 41 | return his love, or when he sees the beloved one's conversation 342 2, 41 | another loved more than he. In these and in many other 343 2, 41 | the Fountain of all love, he took the vessel out of the 344 3, 1 | occupied in prayer. This he does in order that holy 345 3, 1 | except your vocal prayers.' He acts thus in order that, 346 3, 2 | of the recipient, whether he receives sacramentally or 347 3, 2 | sacramentally or virtually. He receives sacramentally when 348 3, 2 | receives sacramentally when he actually communicates with 349 3, 2 | with the Blessed Sacrament. He receives virtually when 350 3, 2 | receives virtually when he communicates, both by desire 351 3, 2 | round to the opposite side, he endeavored to inflate you 352 3, 2 | holy will, and whatever he may contribute, by words 353 3, 2 | Paul said, in the words, 'He who ceases not to work ceases 354 3, 3 | servant S.

And He replied to you, telling 357 3, 5 | the principal part of what He said I will tell you. He 358 3, 5 | He said I will tell you. He said: Because My desire 359 3, 5 | fragility of man, through which he offends, not that he is 360 3, 5 | which he offends, not that he is obliged, through his 361 3, 5 | infirmity, to commit sin unless he wish to do so; but, falling, 362 3, 5 | do so; but, falling, as he will, into the guilt of 363 3, 5 | of mortal sin, by which he loses the grace which he 364 3, 5 | he loses the grace which he drew from Holy Baptism in 365 3, 5 | the hope of receiving it, he puts off confessing until 366 3, 5 | extremity of death, when he may not be able to do so. 367 3, 6 | goods of the world that he may the more abundantly 368 3, 8 | thing with My Truth, and He, the Word Incarnate with 369 3, 9 | the glory of the blessed, he desired to be loosened from 370 3, 9 | height of the Trinity, where he tasted and knew My Truth, 371 3, 9 | with the fire of charity. He became a vessel, disposed 372 3, 9 | true contrition, by which he extirpated his defects, 373 3, 11 | Aquinas saw Me, wherefore he acquired the light of much 374 3, 11 | everyone receives according as he is capable or disposed to 375 3, 11 | this light according as he needed it for his salvation 376 3, 11 | disciples, to show that He was not a breaker of laws: ' 377 3, 11 | one can only offer what he has himself, and, because 378 3, 11 | to you, that, from what he says, the Scriptures offer 379 3, 11 | earnest-money of damnation, if he yield to it." ~ 380 3, 12 | as herself) in order that He should do mercy to the world. 381 3, 14 | glory of My Name, because he has been loved by Me. ~ 382 3, 14 | in no perfection, because He was one thing with Me, and 383 3, 16 | infidelity, and the persecutions he directed against the Christians, 384 3, 16 | whatever state a man may be, he should never stop doing 385 3, 16 | So if a man be a thief, he robs Me of honor, and takes 386 3, 16 | rational creatures, when he does not yet know himself. 387 3, 16 | And, for an action which he may see, or for a word he 388 3, 16 | he may see, or for a word he may hear, he will judge 389 3, 16 | for a word he may hear, he will judge the affection 390 3, 16 | and not beneath them, and he cannot be satisfied or content 391 3, 16 | satisfy him, and, because he is deprived of this satisfaction 392 3, 16 | satisfaction by his guilt, he remains in continual torment 393 3, 16 | Weeping follows pain, and when he begins to weep the wind 394 3, 16 | tree of self-love, which he has made the principle of 395 3, 17 | to this question -- 'I am He who takes delight in few 396 3, 17 | I be right to judge that he who does the greater penance 397 3, 18 | by it, but in order that he should prove and increase 398 3, 18 | love virtue and hate vice; he who loves vice and hates 399 3, 18 | one walks as if blind, for he knows not the cause of vice, 400 3, 18 | sensual self-love, nor does he hate himself on account 401 3, 18 | himself on account of it; he is ignorant of vice and 402 3, 18 | the evil which follows it: he is ignorant of virtue and 403 3, 18 | obtaining life-giving virtue; he is ignorant of his own dignity, 404 3, 18 | of his own dignity, which he should maintain by advancing 405 3, 19 | are capable of growth, and he who does not go forward, 406 3, 20 | became enamored of her when He saw her, gives the soul 407 3, 20 | inflamed with this desire, He ran, with great eagerness, 408 3, 20 | the people. But all this He passed through like the 409 3, 20 | Captain and Knight that He was, whom I had placed on 410 3, 20 | the Father, if not by Him; He is the Way and the Door 411 3, 20 | in everything, nor does he make himself judge of My 412 3, 20 | manner of holiness which he sees, saying: 'Thanks be 413 3, 20 | House many mansions.'
