Chapter, Paragraph

501   3,     31  |      affection and charity; because, as members of the Devil, they
502   3,     31  |              with interest, and that as a debtor he would have to
503   3,     31  |           for his offense against Me as he should, grieving indeed
504   3,     31  |         would have found mercy, for, as I have said to you, My mercy
505   3,     31  |           condemnation they receive, as if they had not so nourished
506   3,     31  |              in truth, but in so far as they have turned their affections
507   3,     31  |             you, you now see shining as it really is, and you know
508   3,     31  |                               And if as a prelate you have given
509   3,     31  |           than those of others, just as good men are placed in a
510   3,     32  |                      Then this soul, as if inebriated, tormented,
511   3,     32  |           who is not, and if I spoke as being anything of myself,
512   3,     32  |             me through love, and not as my due. ~
513   3,     32  |          with which light, according as it has pleased You to manifest
514   3,     32  |             not how to ask or desire as much as You can give, and
515   3,     32  |             to ask or desire as much as You can give, and thus I
516   3,     32  |              grace, that they may be as two streams of water issuing
517   3,     32  |           those, Eternal Father who, as You see, stand at the door
518   4,      1  |            to be heard, and inasmuch as I am the Supreme Truth,
519   4,      1  |            but the whole human race, as I said to you. The sign
520   4,      1  |        account separated, but united as I explained to you of the
521   4,      1  |          sweet key of obedience; for as you know He left His vicar,
522   4,      1  |             in a state of damnation, as I have already told you
523   4,      1  |               and therefore hastened as one enamored along the road
524   4,      1  |         light of glory. And inasmuch as love cannot be alone, but
525   4,      1  |              patience, has given her as a sister to obedience, and
526   4,      1  |          fell into disobedience; for as I spoke to you of a companion
527   4,      2  |        everything, and your neighbor as yourself, and the commandments
528   4,      2  |           derive grace from it, just as from disobedience you all
529   4,      2  |          your love in finite things, as do foolish men who follow
530   4,      2  |              the praise of men. Such as these are apt to lose their
531   4,      2  |        corporal tribulation, and if, as often happens, the hand
532   4,      2  |            relate, he who has chosen as spouse Queen Obedience,
533   4,      2  |       forcing yourself to endure, so as not to transgress the obedience
534   4,      2  |             of charity, all of which as well as those of the body
535   4,      2  |        charity, all of which as well as those of the body produce
536   4,      3  |              goodness and providence as I have told you, for by
537   4,      3  |         everyone may and should hope as long as he has life, he
538   4,      3  |              and should hope as long as he has life, he should not
539   4,      3  |              such trust in this hope as to delay repentance. What
540   4,      3  |      disobedient they are impatient, as has been said, and in their
541   4,      3  |        everything, and your neighbor as yourself. No gloss has been
542   4,      3  |            been put upon these words as if it should have been said,
543   4,      3  |          taken naturally and simply, as they were said to you by
544   4,      4  |             with a general obedience as you are all obliged to do
545   4,      4  |            deed and in thought. Such as these wish to bind themselves
546   4,      4  |     submitting their will to his, so as more expeditiously to unlock
547   4,      4  |              Heaven. These are they, as I have told you, who have
548   4,      4  |            obedience in general, and as I know it to be your will
549   4,      4  |            but is more perfect, for, as I have already told you,
550   4,      5  |       virtuously exercising herself, as has been said, in this general
551   4,      5  |           the Holy Spirit, appointed as the ship to receive souls
552   4,      5  |         light of faith, enters there as one dead, if she is truly
553   4,      5  |          much imperfection, so that, as I have said, the act of
554   4,      5  |              who is the Holy Spirit, as I told you when I spoke
555   4,      5  |            the principal foundation; as with the virtues, though
556   4,      5  |          from charily, nevertheless, as I explained to you in another
557   4,      5  |         science, which light he laid as his principal foundation,
558   4,      5  |              but having it also. And as a sign that he had it truly,
559   4,      5  |              displeased him, he left as an heirloom to his sons
560   4,      5  |           privately or in community, as a sign that he had chosen
561   4,      5  |            Word. Rightly he appeared as an apostle in the world,
562   4,      5  |              body of the Holy Church as an extirpator of heresies.
563   4,      5  |      beginning its subjects were not as they are now, but blooming
564   4,      5  |         which was specially his own, as has been said, and Dominic
565   4,      6  |             of their superiors, for, as I told you, the Holy Spirit
566   4,      6  |             the door of Heaven. Such as these have undertaken to
567   4,      6  |            opens the door of Heaven, as I have said to you. They
568   4,      6  |              part of the great door, as you may see in any real
569   4,      6  |            wherewith to open it, for as I said to you, he is obliged
570   4,      6  |            faith, places self-hatred as servant in the house of
571   4,      6  |            dwelling thus in his cell as has been said, and avoiding
572   4,      6  |             table with the poor. And as a sign that he delights
573   4,      6  |             delights therein, and so as to have no reason to remain
574   4,      6  |          which despises nothing, for as a child who does not remember
575   4,      7  |         shall possess eternal life.' As if My Truth had wished to
576   4,      7  |             the number of a hundred (as has been said). And because
577   4,      8  |           own pleasure, which pride (as has been said) issues from
578   4,      8  |           but of an incarnate devil, as in another place I related
579   4,      8  |          polished terms, not simply, as one who should feed souls
580   4,      8  |            virtues for your children as does the truly obedient
581   4,      8  |          pleasure, you fly your cell as if it were a prison, for
582   4,      9  |              than he who comes late, as My Truth told you in the
583   4,      9  |       vineyard to labor; for he gave as much to those who went at
584   4,      9  |              those who went at dawn, as to those who went at prime
585   4,      9  |            even at vespers, received as much as the first: My Truth
586   4,      9  |            vespers, received as much as the first: My Truth showing
587   4,      9  |              prompt, and has become, as it were, so incarnate in
588   4,      9  |             of the obedient man. And as for the obedience of the
589   4,      9  |             forth leaves and fruits, as a sign that that soul had
590   4,      9  |            beast with yourself.' And as to fire, you have read in
591   4,      9  |             so walked upon the water as if he had been on dry land,
592   4,     10  |           own desire in your person. As to this I explained that
593   4,     10  |             also represented to you, as you know, under figures
594   4,     10  |          individual; I have provided as you know. Further than this,
595   4,     10  |               I have shown it to you as a universal key, and so
596   4,     10  |              Son, you have life, and as from that first old man
597   4,     10  |          along this way of truth, so as not to be taken prisoner
598   4,     11  |            love for me is ineffable, as if You were mad with love
599   4,     11  |            with light in Your light. As the hart desires the spring
600   4,     11  |      immeasurable gifts and benefits as You have given me in this
601 Lette,      0|          myself to your holy prayers as a feeble infant, orphaned
602 Lette,      0|              and you. But since you, as a beloved and faithful daughter,
603 Lette,      0|             health, robust and fresh as usual. In these conditions
604 Lette,      0|              that we all mourned her as dead, remaining under it
605 Lette,      0|             not seem the same person as she who had fallen. ~
606 Lette,      0|            Antimo did, while she lay as it were deprived of feeling. ~
607 Lette,      0|           with her head and her arms as if to show that she was
608 Lette,      0|              mercy on me!" And this, as I believe, she repeated
609 Lette,      0|         changing her words, she said as many times again, but without
610 Lette,      0|              accuse herself, rather, as I think, for our example
611 Lette,      0|              Pope Urban, saying this as one an hungered for the
612 Lette,      0|           neck and her legs remained as flexible as if she were
613 Lette,      0|            legs remained as flexible as if she were still alive.
