How
the
desire
of
this
soul
grew
when
God
showed
her
the
neediness
of
the
world
.
This
desire
was
great
and
continuous
,
but
grew
much
more
,
when
the
First
Truth
showed
her
the
neediness
of
the
world
,
and
in
what
a
tempest
of
offense
against
God
it
lay
.
And
she
had
understood
this
the
better
from
a
letter
,
which
she
had
received
from
the
spiritual
Father
of
her
soul
,
in
which
he
explained
to
her
the
penalties
and
intolerable
dolor
caused
by
offenses
against
God
,
and
the
loss
of
souls
,
and
the
persecutions
of
Holy
Church
.
All
this
lighted
the
fire
of
her
holy
desire
with
grief
for
the
offenses
,
and
with
the
joy
of
the
lively
hope
,
with
which
she
waited
for
God
to
provide
against
such
great
evils
.
And
,
since
the
soul
seems
,
in
such
communion
,
sweetly
to
bind
herself
fast
within
herself
and
with
God
,
and
knows
better
His
truth
,
inasmuch
as
the
soul
is
then
in
God
,
and
God
in
the
soul
,
as
the
fish
is
in
the
sea
,
and
the
sea
in
the
fish
,
she
desired
the
arrival
of
the
morning
(
for
the
morrow
was
a
feast
of
Mary
)
in
order
to
hear
Mass
.
And
,
when
the
morning
came
,
and
the
hour
of
the
Mass
,
she
sought
with
anxious
desire
her
accustomed
place
;
and
,
with
a
great
knowledge
of
herself
,
being
ashamed
of
her
own
imperfection
,
appearing
to
herself
to
be
the
cause
of
all
the
evil
that
was
happening
throughout
the
world
,
conceiving
a
hatred
and
displeasure
against
herself
,
and
a
feeling
of
holy
justice
,
with
which
knowledge
,
hatred
,
and
justice
,
she
purified
the
stains
which
seemed
to
her
to
cover
her
guilty
soul
,
she
said
: "
O
Eternal
Father
,
I
accuse
myself
before
You
,
in
order
that
You
may
punish
me
for
my
sins
in
this
finite
life
,
and
,
inasmuch
as
my
sins
are
the
cause
of
the
sufferings
which
my
neighbor
must
endure
,
I
implore
You
,
in
Your
kindness
,
to
punish
them
in
my
person
."
