503   3,     31  |          wicked. This is why during their life I use this sweet trick
504   3,     31  |            from which has proceeded their every sin, they have not
505   3,     31  |             far as they have turned their affections towards the sweetness
506   3,     31  |      another cause of reproof which their conscience gives them in
507   3,     31  |          holiness, whereas with all their time and great hope of My
508   3,     31  |         they are accustomed to give their servants, that is to say,
509   3,     31  |             you may not escape from their hands, and therefore they
510   3,     31  |           but those who have passed their lives lasciviously and in
511   3,     31  |           and of fear and terror at their horrible aspect. See now,
512   3,     31  |        sinner, and how different is their end. ~
513   3,     31  |          Scripture, the greater are their obligations and more intolerable
514   3,     31  |            of Holy Scripture during their life, the better do they
515   3,     31  |          the better do they know at their death the great sins they
516   3,     31  |            they have committed, and their torments are greater than
517   3,     31  |         this, for did they consider their state at all, they would
518   3,     31  |         than seculars, according to their state; for with their stench
519   3,     31  |            to their state; for with their stench they defile the face
520   3,     31  |             they defile the face of their soul, and corrupt their
521   3,     31  |             their soul, and corrupt their subjects, and suck the blood
522   3,     31  |       nothing but stripping her for their own advantage, seizing prelacies,
523   3,     31  |            souls. Wherefore through their evil life, seculars become
524   3,     31  |           account to do so, or that their sins are excused through
525   3,     32  |         manifested and grieved over their iniquities to me -- a wretch
526   3,     32  |             to cry in order to hear their voices! Your truth told
527   3,     32  |             Your creatures, not for their sakes who do not knock,
528   3,     32  |       servants who knock at You for their sakes. Grant the prayer
529   3,     32  |            and holy pastors, who by their sweet odor shall extinguish
530   3,     32  |           leaving them obstinate in their hardness of heart. To You,
531   3,     32  |           it. I beg of You to force their wills, and dispose them
532   4,      1  |        because all the virtues draw their life from love, He possessed
533   4,      2  |           who follow the first man, their first father, following
534   4,      2  |      damnation; but they hold it in their hand without wearing this
535   4,      2  |            as these are apt to lose their key; for if they suffer
536   4,      2  |            united to obedience, and their impatience proves that obedience
537   4,      2  |         obedience does not dwell in their soul. Oh! how sweet and
538   4,      3  |        death, gnawed by the worm of their conscience, and though it
539   4,      3  |          have the time repenting of their disobedience, it is very
540   4,      3  |             to do so, on account of their long habit of sin. Therefore
541   4,      3  |            as has been said, and in their impatience endure intolerable
542   4,      4  |           to restrain in everything their own will. They either place
543   4,      4  |           some creature, submitting their will to his, so as more
544   4,      5  |          into religion, but only on their perseverance, for many have
545   4,      5  |      poverty and fraternal charity, their temporal substance never
546   4,      5  |              but they had more than their needs demanded. But because
547   4,      5  |           and to fail in obedience, their temporal substance has failed,
548   4,      5  |         though all the virtues draw their life from charily, nevertheless,
549   4,      5  |      perfection, though now through their sins they are multiplied
550   4,      5  |            observe obedience and do their duty, and since impure living
551   4,      5  |            not wish them to obscure their physical light with which
552   4,      5  |     darkened in itself, but only in their souls, for there, where
553   4,      5  |          desert and defiled it with their scanty virtue and light
554   4,      5  |             to be another St. Paul, their eyes so illuminated that
555   4,      5  |             error was dissipated by their glance. Look at My glorious
556   4,      5  |             planting the virtues in their stead. Of a truth Dominic

563   4,      6  |             of their riches, and of their own will observing the vow

565   4,      6  |           and if sometimes it suits their convenience to obey they

567   4,      6  |            force breaks the neck of their will, for they fulfill their

569   4,      6  |            obedience with hatred of their order and of their superior.
