1 II | THE MISERY OF MAN WITHOUT GOD ~
2 II, 60 | part: Misery of man without God.~Second part: Happiness
3 II, 60 | part: Happiness of man with God.~Or, First part: That nature
4 II, 72 | of the almighty power of God that imagination loses itself
5 II, 72 | distance and find each other in God, and in God alone.~Let us,
6 II, 72 | each other in God, and in God alone.~Let us, then, take
7 II, 72 | of things in itself or in God must also astonish our brief

9 II, 73(10) | opinions in the truth, a god will see." ~

17 III, 192 | not being troubled, since God will reproach him.~
18 III, 194 | of having a clear view of God, and of possessing it open

20 III, 194 | establish these two things: that God has set up in the Church
21 III, 194 | into the hands of an angry God, without knowing to which
22 III, 194 | does not believe there is a God who watches our actions,
23 III, 194 | act with bravado before God. Let them then leave these
24 III, 194 | reasonable; those who serve God with all their heart because
25 III, 194(25) | Is. 45:15. "Thou art a God that hidest thyself." ~
26 III, 200 | making heavy the hand of God.~Thus not only the zeal
27 III, 200 | those who seek Him proves God, but also the blindness
28 III, 202 | without faith, we see that God does not enlighten them;
29 III, 202 | rest, we see there is a God who makes them blind.~
30 III, 224 | true, if Jesus Christ be God, what difficulty is there?~
31 III, 227 | nothing? Shall I believe I am God?~"All things change and

34 III, 231 | it to be impossible that God is infinite, without parts?
35 III, 233 | nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine
36 III, 233 | our justice and that of God as between unity and infinity.~
37 III, 233 | infinity.~The justice of God must be vast like His compassion.
38 III, 233 | well know that there is a God without knowing what He
39 III, 233 | existence nor the nature of God, because He has neither
40 III, 233 | natural lights.~If there is a God, He is infinitely incomprehensible,
41 III, 233 | examine this point, and say, "God is, or He is not." But to
42 III, 233 | the loss in wagering that God is. Let us estimate these
43 III, 233 | by increase of proofs of God, but by the abatement of
44 IV, 242 | persons undertake to speak of God. In addressing their argument

48 IV, 242 | says, on the contrary, that God is a hidden God, and that,
49 IV, 242 | contrary, that God is a hidden God, and that, since the corruption
50 IV, 242 | whom all communion with God is cut off. Nemo novit Patrem,
51 IV, 242 | places that those who seek God find Him. It is not of that
52 IV, 242 | and hence the evidence of God must not be of this nature.

54 IV, 243 | made use of nature to prove God. They all strive to make
55 IV, 243 | void, therefore there is a God." They must have had more

68 IV, 278 | heart which experiences God, and not the reason. This,
69 IV, 278 | reason. This, then, is faith: God felt by the heart, not by
70 IV, 278 | reason.~Faith is a gift of God; do not believe that we
71 IV, 279 | 279. Faith is a gift of God; do not believe that we
72 IV, 280 | 280. The knowledge of God is very far from the love
73 IV, 282 | instructing us. Would to God, on the contrary, that we
74 IV, 282 | Therefore, those to whom God has imparted religion by
75 IV, 282 | by reasoning, waiting for God to give them spiritual insight,
76 IV, 284 | believe without reasoning. God imparts to them love of
77 IV, 284 | saving and real faith, unless God inclines their heart; and
78 IV, 286 | to it. They feel that a God has made them; they desire
79 IV, 286 | they desire only to love God; they desire to hate themselves
80 IV, 286 | are incapable of coming to God; and that if God does not

87 IV, 287 | cannot prove it himself.~For God having said in His prophecies (
88 IV, 287 | certain that the Spirit of God is in these and not in the

101 VI, 389 | Ecclesiastes shows that man without God is in total ignorance and
102 VI, 390 | 390. My God! How foolish this talk is! "
103 VI, 390 | foolish this talk is! "Would God have made the world to damn

116 VII, 430 | Christ.~If you are united to God, it is by grace, not by
117 VII, 430 | finite.~Incredible that God should unite Himself to
118 VII, 430 | to measure the mercy of God and set limits to it, suggested
119 VII, 430 | little knowledge of what God is that he does not know
120 VII, 430 | state, dares to say that God cannot make him capable
121 VII, 430 | But I would ask him if God demands anything else from
122 VII, 430 | knowledge, he believes that God cannot make Himself known
123 VII, 430 | things on earth, why, if God impart to him some ray of
124 VII, 430 | we can only learn it from God.~"I do not mean that you

131 VII, 434 | man.~Whence it seems that God, willing to render the difficulty
132 VII, 434 | all nature, made like unto God and sharing in His divinity;

134 VII, 438 | If man is not made for God, why is he only happy in

137 VII, 438 | why is he so opposed to God?~
138 VII, 441 | corrupt and fallen from God, that opens my eyes to see
139 VII, 441 | and without him, to a lost God and a corrupt nature.~
140 VII, 445(71) | 1:25 "The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the
141 VII, 445(71) | men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men." ~
142 VII, 446 | the same thing and that God will deliver the good nature
143 VII, 446 | seeketh to slay him"; but God will not abandon him. This
144 VII, 446 | heart: Let not the fear of God be before me." That is to
145 VII, 460 | righteousness as their object.~God must reign over all, and
146 VII, 460 | for that is right. Now God alone gives wisdom, and
147 VII, 463 | Philosophers.—They believe that God alone is worthy to be loved
148 VII, 463 | horrible. What! they have known God and have not desired solely
149 VII, 465 | nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within
150 VII, 466 | the way of willing what God wills. Jesus Christ alone
151 VII, 468 | heard of the religion of a God humiliated, would embrace
152 VII, 470 | consists in a worship of God which is like commerce,
153 VII, 470 | opposition between us and God, and that without a mediator
154 VII, 471 | and their care in pleasing God, or in seeking Him.~
155 VII, 476 | 476. We must love God only and hate self only.~
156 VII, 478 | When we want to think of God, is there nothing which
157 VII, 479 | 479. If there is a God, we must love Him only and
158 VII, 479 | upon the nonexistence of God. "On that supposition,"
159 VII, 479 | happen. But if there were a God to love, they would not
160 VII, 479 | of the wise: "There is a God; let us therefore not take
161 VII, 479 | prevents us from serving God if we know Him, or from
162 VII, 479 | to any other object than God only.~
163 VII, 482 | 482. Morality.—God having made the heavens
164 VII, 485 | is such. The kingdom of God is within us; the universal
165 VII, 487 | faith, does not worship one God as the origin of everything
166 VII, 487 | does not love one only God as the object of everything.~
167 VII, 488 | But it is impossible that God should ever be the end,
168 VII, 489 | the bond broken between God and us, and that by one
169 VII, 489 | so averse to this love of God, and it is so necessary,
170 VII, 489 | must be born guilty, or God would be unjust.~
171 VII, 490 | find it formed, judge of God by themselves.~
172 VII, 491 | characteristic the obligation to love God. This is very just, and
173 VII, 491 | other religion has asked of God to love and follow Him.~
174 VII, 492 | leads him to make himself God, is indeed blinded. Who
175 VII, 495 | life, while believing in God.~
176 VII, 497 | trusting to the mercy of God, live heedlessly, without
177 VII, 497 | sins are pride and sloth, God has revealed to us two of
178 VII, 497 | passage: "The goodness of God leadeth to repentance, and
179 VII, 497 | If there were no mercy in God we should have to make every
180 VII, 497 | because there is mercy in God that we must make every
181 VII, 498 | opposed to the purity of God, there would be nothing
182 VII, 498 | impute this violence to God, who is drawing us on, instead
183 VII, 498 | The most cruel war which God can make with men in this
184 VII, 499 | perilous as what pleases God and man. For those states,
185 VII, 499 | those states, which please God and man, have one property
186 VII, 499 | one property which pleases God, and another which pleases
187 VII, 499 | Saint Teresa. What pleased God was her deep humility in
188 VII, 499 | not so much to love what God loves and to put ourselves
189 VII, 499 | ourselves in the state which God loves.~It is better not
190 VII, 499 | depends upon the blessing of God, who gives only to things
191 VII, 499 | and perhaps more; since God can bring forth good out
192 VII, 499 | out of evil, and without God we bring forth evil out
193 VII, 502 | subdued are virtues. Even God attributes to Himself avarice,
194 VII, 503 | vices by placing them in God Himself. Christians have
195 VII, 504 | conversion by the Spirit of God, and prays God to correct
196 VII, 504 | Spirit of God, and prays God to correct them; and he
197 VII, 504 | he expects as much from God as from his own reproofs,
198 VII, 504 | own reproofs, and prays God to bless his corrections.
199 VII, 504 | proceeds with the Spirit of God; and his actions deceive
200 VII, 504 | suspension of the Spirit of God in him; and he repents in
201 VII, 506 | 506. Let God not impute to us our sins,
202 VII, 509 | should come of himself to God! And a fine thing to say
203 VII, 510 | 510. Man is not worthy of God, but he is not incapable
204 VII, 510 | worthy.~It is unworthy of God to unite Himself to wretched
205 VII, 510 | but it is not unworthy of God to pull him out of his misery.~
206 VII, 511 | to deserve communion with God, we must indeed be very
207 VII, 512 | identity of matter.~Thus if God united my soul to a body
208 VII, 513 | 513. Why God has established prayer.~
209 VII, 513(79) | Friday. "Which won for us God's hallowed members to embrace." ~
210 VII, 513(80) | Hymn Vexilla regis. "Worthy God's hallowed members to embrace." ~
211 VII, 513 | accipere. 83 ~Dignare me. 84 ~God is only bound according
212 VII, 514 | the other hand, there is God. So it is not in our power,
213 VII, 514 | should then hope no more in God, for he ought not to hope,
214 VII, 514 | since the first sin, and God is unwilling that he should
215 VII, 514 | Therefore, those who depart from God have not this first effect
216 VII, 514 | they are not estranged from God, and those who do not depart
217 VII, 514 | those who do not depart from God have this first effect.
218 VII, 514 | this first effect.~Then God abandons the first in this
219 VII, 527 | 527. The knowledge of God without that of man's misery
220 VII, 527 | s misery without that of God causes despair. The knowledge
221 VII, 527 | because in Him we find both God and our misery.~
222 VII, 528 | 528. Jesus Christ is a God whom we approach without
223 VII, 536 | talk with ourselves only of God, whom we know to be true;
224 VII, 537 | bids him desire to be like God. Without such a counterpoise,
225 VII, 538 | believe himself united to God! With how little humiliation
226 VII, 543 | The metaphysical proofs of God are so remote from the reasoning
227 VII, 543 | result of the knowledge of God obtained without Jesus Christ;
228 VII, 543 | without a mediator with the God whom they have known without
229 VII, 543 | Whereas those who have known God by a mediator know their
230 VII, 544 | 544. The God of the Christians is a God
231 VII, 544 | God of the Christians is a God who makes the soul feel
232 VII, 544 | prevent her from loving God with all her strength. Self-love
233 VII, 544 | unbearable to her. Thus God makes her feel that she
234 VII, 547 | 547. We know God only by Jesus Christ. Without
235 VII, 547 | mediator, all communion with God is taken away; through Jesus
236 VII, 547 | through Jesus Christ we know God. All those who have claimed
237 VII, 547 | who have claimed to know God, and to prove Him without
238 VII, 547 | and through Him, we know God. Apart from Him, and without
239 VII, 547 | cannot absolutely prove God, nor teach right doctrine
240 VII, 547 | in Jesus Christ, we prove God, and teach morality and
241 VII, 547 | Christ is, then, the true God of men.~But we know at the
242 VII, 547 | our wretchedness; for this God is none other than the Saviour
243 VII, 547 | wretchedness. So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities.
244 VII, 547 | Therefore those who have known God, without knowing their wretchedness,
245 VII, 547(92) | wisdom knew not... it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching
246 VII, 548 | 548. Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but
247 VII, 548 | life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.~Thus without
248 VII, 548 | confusion in the nature of God and in our own nature.~
249 VII, 549 | impossible but useless to know God without Jesus Christ. They
250 VII, 550 | heart for those to whom God has more closely united
251 VII, 550 | actions in the sight of God, who must judge of them,
252 VII, 553 | left alone to the wrath of God.~Jesus is alone on the earth,
253 VII, 553 | enmity, but the order of God, which He loves and admits,
254 VII, 553 | We implore the mercy of God, not that He may leave us
255 VII, 553 | deliver us from them.~If God gave us masters by His own
256 VII, 553 | relation between me and God, nor Jesus Christ the Righteous.
257 VII, 553 | Each one creates his god, when judging, "This is
258 VII, 555 | comparest Me to Myself. Now I am God in all.~"I speak to thee,
259 VIII, 556 | them. And it is equally of God's mercy that He has given
260 VIII, 556 | have said there is only one God have been persecuted, the
261 VIII, 556 | simply in the worship of a God considered as great, powerful,
262 VIII, 556 | establishment of this point, that God does not manifest Himself
263 VIII, 556 | in His divine person to God.~The Christian religion,
264 VIII, 556 | truths; that there is a God whom men can know, and that
265 VIII, 556 | dangerous for man to know God without knowing his own
266 VIII, 556 | philosophers, who have known God, and not their own wretchedness,
267 VIII, 556 | is it alike merciful of God to have made us know them.
268 VIII, 556 | an excellent knowledge of God without that of our own
269 VIII, 556 | wretchedness without that of God. But we cannot know Jesus
270 VIII, 556 | knowing at the same time both God and our own wretchedness.~
271 VIII, 556 | either the existence of God, or the Trinity, or the
272 VIII, 556 | subsist and which is called God, I should not think him
273 VIII, 556 | towards his own salvation.~The God of Christians is not a God
274 VIII, 556 | God of Christians is not a God who is simply the author
275 VIII, 556 | Epicureans. He is not merely a God who exercises His providence
276 VIII, 556 | portion of the Jews. But the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac,
277 VIII, 556 | the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob,
278 VIII, 556 | Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Christians,
279 VIII, 556 | Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of Christians, is a God
280 VIII, 556 | God of Christians, is a God of love and of comfort,
281 VIII, 556 | of love and of comfort, a God who fills the soul and heart
282 VIII, 556 | those whom He possesses, a God who makes them conscious
283 VIII, 556 | than Himself.~All who seek God without Jesus Christ, and
284 VIII, 556 | themselves a means of knowing God and serving Him without
285 VIII, 556 | existed to instruct man of God, His divinity would shine
286 VIII, 556 | divinity, but the presence of a God who hides himself. Everything
287 VIII, 557 | not true that all reveals God, and it is not true that
288 VIII, 557 | not true that all conceals God. But it is at the same time
289 VIII, 557 | unworthy and capable of God; unworthy by their corruption,
290 VIII, 559 | had been any appearance of God, this eternal deprivation
291 VIII, 559 | conclude both that there is a God and that men are unworthy
292 VIII, 560 | corrupt, separated from God, but ransomed by Jesus Christ,
293 VIII, 562 | of man, or the mercy of God; either the weakness of
294 VIII, 562 | weakness of man without God, or the strength of man
295 VIII, 562 | the strength of man with God.~
296 VIII, 566 | nothing of the works of God, if we do not take as a
297 VIII, 571 | To accomplish all this, God chose this carnal people,
298 VIII, 571 | has been the prudence of God. This meaning is concealed
299 VIII, 571 | those whose only good was in God referred them to God alone.
300 VIII, 571 | in God referred them to God alone. For there are two
301 VIII, 571 | exist along with faith in God, nor charity with worldly
302 VIII, 571 | riches; but covetousness uses God and enjoys the world, and
303 VIII, 571 | they turn them away from God, and God Himself is the
304 VIII, 571 | them away from God, and God Himself is the enemy of
305 VIII, 571 | know them, for the ways of God are right; but the transgressors
306 VIII, 576 | world towards the Church: God willing to blind and to
307 VIII, 576 | Deluge being forgotten, God sends the law and the miracles
308 VIII, 577 | 577. God has made the blindness of
309 VIII, 578 | ceased to practise them.~If God had permitted only one religion,
310 VIII, 579 | 579. God (and the Apostles), foreseeing
311 VIII, 580 | that she is the image of God, and some defects to show
312 VIII, 581 | 581. God prefers rather to incline
313 VIII, 582 | apart from charity is not God, but His image and idol,
314 VIII, 582 | love total darkness; but if God keeps me in a state of semi-darkness,
315 VIII, 582 | apart from the order of God. Now only His order must
