Of
the
way
in
which
GOD
manifests
Himself
to
the
soul
who
loves
Him
.
"
Do
you
know
how
I
manifest
Myself
to
the
soul
who
loves
Me
in
truth
,
and
follows
the
doctrine
of
My
sweet
and
amorous
Word
?
In
many
is
My
virtue
manifested
in
the
soul
in
proportion
to
her
desire
,
but
I
make
three
special
manifestations
.
The
first
manifestation
of
My
virtue
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
My
love
and
charity
in
the
soul
,
is
made
through
the
Word
of
My
Son
,
and
shown
in
the
Blood
,
which
He
spilled
with
such
fire
of
love
.
Now
this
charity
is
manifested
in
two
ways
;
first
,
in
general
,
to
ordinary
people
,
that
is
to
those
who
live
in
the
ordinary
grace
of
God
.
It
is
manifested
to
them
by
the
many
and
diverse
benefits
which
they
receive
from
Me
.
The
second
mode
of
manifestation
,
which
is
developed
from
the
first
,
is
peculiar
to
those
who
have
become
My
friends
in
the
way
mentioned
above
,
and
is
known
through
a
sentiment
of
the
soul
,
by
which
they
taste
,
know
,
prove
,
and
feel
it
.
This
second
manifestation
,
however
,
is
in
men
themselves
;
they
manifesting
Me
,
through
the
affection
of
their
love
.
For
though
I
am
no
Acceptor
of
creatures
,
I
am
an
Acceptor
of
holy
desires
,
and
Myself
in
the
soul
in
that
precise
degree
of
perfection
which
she
seeks
in
Me
.
Sometimes
I
manifest
Myself
(
and
this
is
also
a
part
of
the
second
manifestation
)
by
endowing
men
with
the
spirit
of
prophecy
,
showing
them
the
things
of
the
future
.
This
I
do
in
many
and
diverse
ways
,
according
as
I
see
need
in
the
soul
herself
and
in
other
creatures
.
At
other
times
the
third
manifestation
takes
place
.
I
then
form
in
the
mind
the
presence
of
the
Truth
,
My
only-
begotten
Son
,
in
many
ways
,
according
to
the
will
and
the
desire
of
the
soul
.
Sometimes
she
seeks
Me
in
prayer
,
wishing
to
know
My
power
,
and
I
satisfy
her
by
causing
her
to
taste
and
see
My
virtue
.
Sometimes
she
seeks
Me
in
the
wisdom
of
My
Son
,
and
I
satisfy
her
by
placing
His
wisdom
before
the
eye
of
her
intellect
,
sometimes
in
the
clemency
of
the
Holy
Spirit
and
then
My
Goodness
causes
her
to
taste
the
fire
of
Divine
charity
,
and
to
conceive
the
true
and
royal
virtues
,
which
are
founded
on
the
pure
love
of
her
neighbor
."
