But 213 2, 27 | by the fog of disordinate love, know neither Me nor themselves. 214 2, 28 | know, and in knowing they love, and in loving they deny 215 2, 28 | with the affection of My love. For I told you that My 216 2, 28 | these tribulations through love, and not through hatred. 217 2, 28 | through hatred. And they that love Me recognize this, and, 218 2, 28 | to Me by the affection of love. It is a good truth then 219 2, 29 | she said: "Oh, Inestimable Love, great is the delusion of 220 2, 30 | nourishes it, and the hand of love -- that is, the affection -- 221 2, 30 | soul cannot live without love, but always wants to love 222 2, 30 | love, but always wants to love something, because she is 223 2, 30 | because she is made of love, and, by love, I created 224 2, 30 | is made of love, and, by love, I created her. And therefore 225 2, 30 | saying, as it were, 'I will love, because the food on which 226 2, 30 | food on which I feed is love.' Then the intellect, feeling 227 2, 30 | as it were, 'If you will love, I will give you that which 228 2, 30 | give you that which you can love.' And at once it arises, 229 2, 30 | affection nourishes itself in love, opening the mouth of holy 230 2, 30 | sensual affection wants to love sensual things, the eye 231 2, 30 | displeasure of virtue, and love of vice, whence she draws 232 2, 30 | affection presents to it. This love so dazzles the eye of the 233 2, 30 | them and the affection to love them; for had worldly things 234 2, 30 | does not, by disordinate love, cut it off from Me; you 235 2, 33 | separated from My grace and the love of his neighbor, and being, 236 2, 33 | two commandments are to love Me above everything, and 237 2, 33 | gaze into the ineffable love, which I have shown you 238 2, 33 | charity, and the will to love and desire Me, who am your 239 2, 33 | a man, who is full of My love and that of his neighbor, 240 2, 33 | holy and true fear, and love of virtue. He then finds 241 2, 33 | crucified, mirrored in cordial love of Me, for through Him have 242 2, 33 | through Him have I shown My love to man. He finds peace and 243 2, 33 | memory is filled with My love. You know that an empty 244 2, 33 | and the affection with love, on being moved by the tribulations 245 2, 33 | two commandments, that is love of Me and of the neighbor, 246 2, 33 | affection and disordinate love of the world, but filled 247 2, 33 | being without disordinate love for transitory things, it 248 2, 33 | things, it is filled with love of celestial things, and 249 2, 33 | things, and sweet Divine love, with which he arrives at 250 2, 35 | sufficient, without the love of virtue, to give eternal 251 2, 35 | law of fear and that of love are united. ~ 252 2, 35 | if they do not arise with love of virtue, servile fear 253 2, 35 | to give eternal life. But love with holy fear is sufficient, 254 2, 35 | because the law is founded in love and holy fear. The old law 255 2, 35 | The new law is the law of love, given by the Word of My 256 2, 35 | only-begotten Son, and is founded in love alone. The new law does 257 2, 35 | law of fear with that of love. Through love was taken 258 2, 35 | with that of love. Through love was taken away the imperfection 259 2, 35 | perfect with the law of love. Wherefore, after the car 260 2, 35 | servile fear, and arrive at love and holy fear of Me, otherwise 261 2, 36 | fruit of virtue, and the love which I bear to the soul, 262 2, 36 | that she may climb with love and affection, and stripped 263 2, 36 | servants, serving Me through love and not through fear, and 264 2, 37 | imperfection of those who love GOD for their own profit, 265 2, 37 | punishment, but rather with love. This very love, however, 266 2, 37 | rather with love. This very love, however, if they serve 267 2, 37 | the imperfection of this love? The withdrawal of the consolations 268 2, 37 | short duration of their love for their neighbor, which 269 2, 37 | disappears. Towards Me their love grows weak when, on occasion, 270 2, 37 | own profit, relaxing their love for their neighbor. Thus, 271 2, 37 | this happens because their love was originally impure, for 272 2, 37 | neighbor the same imperfect love which they gave to Me, that 273 2, 37 | to Me, that is to say, a love based only on desire of 274 2, 37 | desire Eternal Life, a pure love, prescinding from themselves, 275 2, 37 | she lives, by a generous love to Me with a pure and virtuous 276 2, 37 | was with this imperfect love that S. Peter loved the 277 2, 37 | servile fear and mercenary love alone, falls into many troubles. 278 2, 37 | arrive at the state of filial love, because I respond to them 279 2, 37 | respond to them with the same love, with which they love Me, 280 2, 37 | same love, with which they love Me, so that, if they love 281 2, 37 | love Me, so that, if they love Me, as a servant does his 282 2, 37 | advance by the virtuous love, which he bears to his master, 283 2, 37 | in the state of mercenary love, I do not manifest Myself 284 2, 37 | their imperfection, and love of virtue, dig up, with 285 2, 37 | and to correct mercenary love by the light of the holy 286 2, 37 | they will attain to the love of the friend. And I will 287 2, 37 | through the affection of love, because love transforms 288 2, 37 | affection of love, because love transforms the lover into 289 2, 38 | virtue, that is to say, of My love and charity in the soul, 290 2, 38 | spilled with such fire of love. Now this charity is manifested 291 2, 38 | through the affection of their love. For though I am no Acceptor 292 2, 38 | are founded on the pure love of her neighbor." ~ 293 2, 39 | doctrine with the affection of love, you are united with Him, 294 2, 40 | who has attained to the love of a friend; climbing with 295 2, 40 | son, attaining to filial love, and how a man may know 296 2, 40 | perseverance, he arrives at the love of delight, finding his 297 2, 40 | would attain to perfect love, to the love that is of 298 2, 40 | to perfect love, to the love that is of friend and son. 299 2, 40 | friend and son. I call filial love perfect, because thereby, 300 2, 40 | Father, and because a son's love includes that of a friend, 301 2, 40 | drawing to Himself, with this love, My divine charity, exercising 302 2, 40 | until she arrives at true love. But when they had persevered 303 2, 40 | to prudence. Then, if she love Me without thought of self, 304 2, 40 | the sentiment of imperfect love to turn again in its death-struggle, 305 2, 40 | of self- hatred and the love of virtue." ~ 306 2, 41 | signs of this imperfect love. ~ 307 2, 41 | simple souls, who often love creatures with spiritual 308 2, 41 | creatures with spiritual love, know this well, for, if 309 2, 41 | if they have received My love sincerely without any self-regarding 310 2, 41 | satisfy the thirst of their love for their neighbor equally 311 2, 41 | always remains full. So the love of the neighbor, whether 312 2, 41 | require that you should love Me with the same love with 313 2, 41 | should love Me with the same love with which I love you. This 314 2, 41 | the same love with which I love you. This indeed you cannot 315 2, 41 | without being loved. All the love which you have for Me you 316 2, 41 | is not of grace that you love Me, but because you ought 317 2, 41 | ought to do so. While I love you of grace, and not because 318 2, 41 | not because I owe you My love. Therefore to Me, in person, 319 2, 41 | person, you cannot repay the love which I require of you, 320 2, 41 | is to say, that you may love your neighbor of free grace, 321 2, 41 | Him in His faithful. This love must be sincere, because 322 2, 41 | because it is with the same love with which you love Me, 323 2, 41 | same love with which you love Me, that you must love your 324 2, 41 | you love Me, that you must love your neighbor. Do you know 325 2, 41 | imperfection of spiritual love for the creature is shown? 326 2, 41 | him that the object of his love does not satisfy or return 327 2, 41 | not satisfy or return his love, or when he sees the beloved 328 2, 41 | seen that his neighborly love is still imperfect, and 329 2, 41 | imperfect, and that, though his love was originally drawn from 330 2, 41 | Me, the Fountain of all love, he took the vessel out 331 2, 41 | from it. It is because his love for Me is still imperfect, 332 2, 41 | imperfect, that his neighborly love is so weak, and because 333 2, 41 | Wherefore I often permit such a love to exist, so that the soul 334 3, 1 | arrive at pure and generous love; and here begins the Treatise 335 3, 1 | Christ crucified, with true love of virtue and hatred of 336 3, 1 | arriving at pure and generous love. And because she sees and 337 3, 1 | grasped with the hand of love, by the arm of free choice 338 3, 2 | sacramentally, with the affection of love, which is to be tasted in 339 3, 2 | soul sees, was shed through love. On seeing this the soul 340 3, 2 | herself, becoming full of love for Me and for her neighbor. 341 3, 2 | prayers are rather words than love. Such as these give heed 342 3, 2 | place devout attention and love in merely vocal recitation, 343 3, 2 | to elevate her mind in My love, with the consideration 344 3, 2 | arrived at friendly and filial love she does so. Unless the 345 3, 2 | imperfect, and will only love Me and her neighbor in proportion 346 3, 3 | separates herself from imperfect love, and attains to perfect 347 3, 3 | and attains to perfect love, friendly and filial. ~ 348 3, 3 | attained to friendly and filial love. I tell you that she arrives 349 3, 3 | that she arrives at perfect love by means of perseverance, 350 3, 4 | she has arrived at perfect love. ~ 351 3, 4 | have arrived at perfect love. This is seen by the same 352 3, 4 | virtues by affection of love, participating in My power; 353 3, 4 | that is, the imperfect love of her own consolations, 354 3, 4 | bound by that imperfect love. She therefore arises, with 355 3, 4 | that imperfection and with love of perfection, and, through 356 3, 4 | conceived through affection of love. The souls, who have thus 357 3, 4 | other, for there cannot be love of Me, without love of the 358 3, 4 | cannot be love of Me, without love of the neighbor, nor love 359 3, 4 | love of the neighbor, nor love of the neighbor without 360 3, 4 | of the neighbor without love of Me." ~ 361 3, 5 | do who are in imperfect love and do not wish to suffer 362 3, 5 | they, as if drunken with love and burning with it, have 363 3, 5 | finite things, because My love was infinite, how much more 364 3, 5 | infinite, how much more love I had, I wished you to see 365 3, 5 | also showed the baptism of love in two ways, first in those 366 3, 5 | it with the affection of love. There is no baptism of 367 3, 5 | charity, because, through love was It shed. There is yet 368 3, 5 | suffered with so much fire and love. And therefore can this 369 3, 5 | I showed to you that My love was infinite. How? By the 370 3, 7 | through the affection of love, and I, Eternal Truth, have 371 3, 8 | continually with affection of love, that I will have mercy 372 3, 8 | in her is ended, but not love, as the tortured desire, 373 3, 8 | His painful death, but His love -- no. For had the affection 374 3, 8 | would not be, because by love you are made, and had My 375 3, 8 | you are made, and had My love been drawn back, that is, 376 3, 8 | you could not be, but My love created you, and My love 377 3, 8 | love created you, and My love possesses you, because I 378 3, 8 | not so the affection of love. ~ 379 3, 8 | Lamb, and clothed in the love of the neighbor, they pass 380 3, 11 | only-begotten Son, with the law of Love, completing the old law 381 3, 11 | the old law by giving it love, and replacing the fear 382 3, 11 | penalty, and founding it in love and holy fear. How was this 383 3, 11 | souls in the unitive state love Me, because love follows 384 3, 11 | unitive state love Me, because love follows the intellect, and 385 3, 11 | it knows the more can it love. Thus the one feeds the 386 3, 12 | or the affection of the love of God. And nevertheless 387 3, 13 | sweetness; but since their love is imperfect, so also is 388 3, 13 | have arrived at the perfect love of their neighbor, loving 389 3, 13 | from fear and imperfect love, reaches perfect love in 390 3, 13 | imperfect love, reaches perfect love in the unitive state. Now 391 3, 14 | caused by a disordinate love distinct from the love of 392 3, 14 | disordinate love distinct from the love of Me; for such love, being 393 3, 14 | the love of Me; for such love, being disordinate and an 394 3, 14 | measure of their disordinate love. And these form that first 395 3, 14 | And so she proceeds, with love, to know herself and My 396 3, 14 | self-love is not sensual love, for that has already been 397 3, 14 | said, but it is a spiritual love with which the soul desires 398 3, 14 | goodness with a fire of love, and she begins to unite 399 3, 14 | through the affection of love, and compassion for her 400 3, 14 | heart, cries with hearty love for Me and for her neighbor, 401 3, 14 | heart is united to Me in love, as I told you when speaking 402 3, 14 | with Me, tasting the divine love; sorrowful through the offenses 403 3, 14 | self-knowledge, gained in love of the neighbor, in which 404 3, 14 | that is, who live in My love. Over these the soul rejoices, 405 3, 14 | third state of neighborly love, it would not be perfect. 406 3, 14 | by the subtle breeze of love of her own reputation, and 407 3, 14 | and practice continually love to one's neighbor, together 408 3, 14 | she feel the fire of My love in herself, because love 409 3, 14 | love in herself, because love of her neighbor is developed 410 3, 14 | neighbor is developed out of love of Me -- that is, out of 411 3, 14 | creature with the self-same love with which she sees herself 412 3, 14 | immediately expands to the love of her neighbor, because 413 3, 14 | because she sees that I love that neighbor ineffably, 414 3, 14 | no way repay Me that pure love with which she feels herself 415 3, 14 | you; you should therefore love them with the same pure 416 3, 14 | them with the same pure love with which I have loved 417 3, 14 | have loved you. That pure love cannot be returned directly 418 3, 14 | existed; it was, indeed, love that moved Me to create 419 3, 14 | image and similitude. This love you cannot repay to Me, 420 3, 14 | commandment of the law, to love Me above everything, and 421 3, 14 | they are given her by My love, but in so far as she desires 422 3, 14 | to a higher perfection of love. My only-begotten Son, your 423 3, 15 | she seems to herself to love. Thus is holy desire, which 424 3, 15 | desire, which is founded in love, exercised, and with this 425 3, 15 | no longer yearn for Me or love her neighbor, for love has 426 3, 15 | or love her neighbor, for love has entered into her like 427 3, 15 | behind, but the affection of love has drawn to itself the 428 3, 15 | this life in a state of love towards Me and her neighbor, 429 3, 15 | further possessed that unitive love which caused her tears to 430 3, 16 | grieves in proportion to the love it feels. So worldly men 431 3, 16 | For you are all trees of love, and without love you cannot 432 3, 16 | trees of love, and without love you cannot live, for you 433 3, 16 | have been made by Me for love. The soul who lives virtuously, 434 3, 16 | judging that which I did in love, to have been done in hatred; 435 3, 16 | themselves far away from the love of My servants' virtue. ~ 436 3, 16 | sins, and to be used in love of virtue, and for the salvation 437 3, 17 | Salvation, who, through Your Love, gave us Love Himself, in 438 3, 17 | through Your Love, gave us Love Himself, in the time of 439 3, 17 | this abyss of Your fiery Love, I beg of You grace and 440 3, 18 | Goodness, and the ineffable love which I have towards you 441 3, 18 | soul is able to prove the love which she has for Me, her 442 3, 18 | to say virtue, she cannot love or desire either Me, who 443 3, 18 | and in hating that which I love. I love virtue and hate 444 3, 18 | hating that which I love. I love virtue and hate vice; he 445 3, 19 | give everything through love, and that therefore, with 446 3, 19 | and that therefore, with love and reverence, should she 447 3, 20 | shed with such fire of love, with such hatred of your 448 3, 20 | enamored and inflamed with love, to the table of holy desire; 449 3, 20 | is stripped of mercenary love, that is of love for Me 450 3, 20 | mercenary love, that is of love for Me based on interested 451 3, 20 | profit, but purely through love alone. Such as these have 452 3, 20 | being clothed with burning love in the sweet garment of 453 3, 20 | received it, because their love is not disordinate, but 454 3, 20 | And, since their love is so ordered, these souls, 455 3, 20 | offense from those they love, nor from any rational creature, 456 3, 20 | to Me by the affection of love, for I am the Supreme and 457 3, 20 | soul remains always in the love of her neighbor, she remains 458 3, 20 | to Me by the affection of love, retaining in your memory 459 3, 20 | see the affection of My love, with which I love you inestimably; 460 3, 20 | of My love, with which I love you inestimably; and in 461 3, 21 | nourishes herself with love of her neighbor, which causes 462 3, 21 | hunger and desire, for the love of the neighbor is a food 463 3, 21 | this life the earnest of My love, and of her neighbor's, 464 3, 22 | alienated through the union of love which she had made with 465 3, 22 | What moved you to do it?
