104 Life, XII | it not. It is best for a soul which God has not raised
105 Life, XII | considered, because all the soul will gain in that way will
106 Life, XII | understanding is active now.~3. The soul may also place itself in
107 Life, XII | understanding inactive, the soul ./. is then left desolate
108 Life, XII | labour thrown away, and the soul is a little disgusted: it
109 Life, XII | humility that leaves the soul disgusted. It seems to me
110 Life, XIII | road; and never a cowardly soul, though aided by humility,
111 Life, XIII | strength for them at once; the soul takes a flight upwards and
112 Life, XIII | may be satisfied when the soul shows itself fit only to
113 Life, XIII | disposition to reconcile soul and body together, in order
114 Life, XIII | that they may disorder the soul; and Satan, too, helps much
115 Life, XIII | this: the loss to our own soul; for the utmost we have
116 Life, XIII | to take care of our own soul only, and consider that
117 Life, XIII | there is only God and our soul. This is a point of great
118 Life, XIII | security, therefore, of that soul which would apply itself
119 Life, XIII | another time that, lest the soul should be wearied by always
120 Life, XIII | support for the life of the soul, and they have many other
121 Life, XIII | many mistakes, and direct a soul without understanding its
122 Life, XIII | them itself; for such a soul, knowing that obedience
123 Life, XIII | their penitents afflict them soul and body, and hinder their
124 Life, XIII | aside—for there is no soul so great a giant on this
125 Life, XIII | taken by measure. When a soul beholds itself resigned,
126 Life, XIII | person who shall resign his soul to be wholly subject to
127 Life, XIII | with it—at least, so my soul has found it. I do not know
128 Life, XIV | of quiet.~2. Herein the soul begins to be recollected;
129 Life, XIV | itself more distinctly to the soul.~3. This is a gathering
130 Life, XIV | of the faculties of the soul within itself, in order
131 Life, XIV | state of prayer; for the soul is already ascending out
132 Life, XIV | communicate Himself to this soul, and will have it feel how
133 Life, XIV | Himself.~7. As soon as the soul has arrived thus far, it
134 Life, XIV | true satisfaction, and the soul sees that it really does
135 Life, XIV | cometh afterwards, when the soul sees that all is over, and
136 Life, XIV | great mercy, will have the soul comprehend that His Majesty
137 Life, XIV | way to begin a work in the soul, which is manifested in
138 Life, XIV | the innermost part of the soul, and the soul knows not
139 Life, XIV | part of the soul, and the soul knows not whence, nor how,
140 Life, XIV | our Lord now will have the soul to see, as it were, with
141 Life, XIV | principal point, and because a soul, when our Lord begins to
142 Life, XIV | upon it. And if it be not a soul much exercised in prayer,
143 Life, XIV | describe the effects on the soul of these things, now that
144 Life, XIV | angel of light;204 and the soul, if not experienced herein,
145 Life, XIV | great joy to consider my soul as a garden, and our Lord
146 Life, XIV | there are times in which the soul has no recollection of this
147 Life, XIV | which it seems as if the soul had never possessed any
148 Life, XIV(206) | writing the Fortress of the Soul, with her face shining;
149 Life, XIV | tears, and rejoicing in my soul; for Thou wilt be thus with
150 Life, XIV | Lord, that there can be a soul which, after attaining to
151 Life, XIV | it is so visible? Such a soul there certainly is; for
152 Life, XIV | so, O Lord!—let not a soul which Thou hast purchased
153 Life, XIV | What I write is what my soul has understood; and it is
154 Life, XV | and recollection of the soul makes itself in great measure
155 Life, XV | sweet delight, wherein the soul is established.208 It thinks,
156 Life, XV | breathe.210 The poor little soul is not aware that, as of
157 Life, XV | failure of the powers of the soul; but the soul is so satisfied
158 Life, XV | powers of the soul; but the soul is so satisfied in God that,
159 Life, XV | Majesty shows mercy unto a soul, so that it advances so
160 Life, XV | great importance for the soul that has advanced so far
161 Life, XV | And miserable will that soul be if it turns back; it
162 Life, XV | begins to enkindle in the soul; and His will is, that the
163 Life, XV | and His will is, that the soul should understand what this
164 Life, XV | pledge which God gives to a soul, in token of His having
165 Life, XV | themselves only!~9. What the soul has to do at those seasons
166 Life, XV | made. In the same way, the soul will lose much if it be
167 Life, XV | 13. So, then, when the soul is in the prayer of quiet,
168 Life, XV | before God, who will have the soul make itself as a fool—
169 Life, XV | from Satan, the practised soul, in my opinion, will detect
170 Life, XV | little or no harm, if the soul directs unto God the joy
171 Life, XV | joy which he causes in the soul, because that joy will help
172 Life, XV | because that joy will help the soul, inasmuch as it thinks the
173 Life, XV | desire for it. And if the soul is humble, indifferent to,
174 Life, XV | and when he sees that the soul humbles itself through that
175 Life, XV | earth, the growth of the soul is not like that of the
176 Life, XV | lessen in size; but as to the soul, it so is by our Lord's
177 Life, XV | troubles may arise. The soul offers to suffer everything.
178 Life, XV | servile fear at once from the soul, and in its place plants
179 Life, XV | of budding. And this the soul sees most clearly, and it
180 Life, XV | they may ever have. If a soul love greatly, and is thankful
181 Life, XVI | Deep Matters. What the Soul Can Do That Has Reached
182 Life, XVI | sleep of the powers of the soul, which are not wholly lost,
183 Life, XVI | risen up to the neck of the soul, so that it can neither
184 Life, XVI | explain it; neither does the soul then know what to do,—
185 Life, XVI | is acquired; and to the soul a kind of fruition most
186 Life, XVI | speak of it, and of what the soul must do therein. Certainly,
187 Life, XVI | 4. The faculties of the soul now retain only the power
188 Life, XVI | utterly powerless here; the soul longs to send forth words
189 Life, XVI | their fragrance.~5. The soul in this state would have
190 Life, XVI | O my God, what must that soul be when it is in this state?
191 Life, XVI | willing to be cut in pieces, soul and body, to show the delight
192 Life, XVI | their tortures, because the soul is well aware that its strength
193 Life, XVI | good pleasure, gives to the soul in this its exile. Blessed
194 Life, XVI | Thou give her none. This my soul longs to be free—eating
195 Life, XVI | endure it—and yet the soul never wishes to be delivered
196 Life, XVI | may come to Thee. When the soul remembers that it has never
197 Life, XVI | to whom I have trusted my soul; disperse my delusions by
198 Life, XVII | prayer, and of what the soul has to do, or rather, to
199 Life, XVII | work, and who will have the soul take its ease; except that
200 Life, XVII | joy is so great, that the soul seems now and then to be
201 Life, XVII | Now, I think it is for the soul's good—as you, my father,
202 Life, XVII | His own property,—the soul no longer belongs to itself,
203 Life, XVII | prayer, so high as this, the soul understands that God is
204 Life, XVII | gardener, refusing to let the soul undergo any labour whatever,
205 Life, XVII | fragrance; for when God raises a soul up to this state, it can
206 Life, XVII | stint; and what the poor soul, with the labour, perhaps,
207 Life, XVII | grow and ripen; so that the soul, such being the will of
208 Life, XVII | prayer of quiet; for the soul sees itself to be other
209 Life, XVII | open, in order that the soul may believe itself to be
210 Life, XVII | too, the humility of the soul is much greater and deeper
211 Life, XVII | distinct union of the whole soul with God, but for this,
212 Life, XVII | will being in union, the soul should be aware of it, and
213 Life, XVII | it. In that prayer, the soul, which would willingly neither
214 Life, XVII | also.239 Accordingly, the soul is, as it were, living the
215 Life, XVII | that the better part of the soul is elsewhere. It is as if
216 Life, XVII | contentment, and that prepares the soul in the highest degree, by
217 Life, XVII | any desirable food. So the soul has no satisfaction in the
218 Life, XVII | with Him—this is what the soul seeks.~7. There is another
219 Life, XVII | necessary to enable the soul to advance without confusion
220 Life, XVII | what war it makes on the soul, and how it labours to throw
221 Life, XVII | O my God, when shall my soul praise Thee without distraction,
222 Life, XVII | remember it well,—to see my soul tear itself, in order to
223 Life, XVII | the matters put before the soul, they never rest anywhere,
224 Life, XVII | bliss and repose of the soul, that even the body most
225 Life, XVII | states of prayer, wherein the soul finds itself, with the utmost
226 Life, XVIII | The Great Dignity of the Soul Raised to It by Our Lord.
227 Life, XVIII | the last; for in that the soul still feels that it is not
228 Life, XVIII | bliss and comfort of the soul, that the soul would never
229 Life, XVIII | comfort of the soul, that the soul would never willingly pass
230 Life, XVIII | this state, the joy of the soul is incomparably greater,
231 Life, XVIII | power in the body, and the soul has none, whereby this fruition
232 Life, XVIII | the faculties, that the soul, even if it wished,—I
233 Life, XVIII | how it differs from the soul or the spirit either: all
234 Life, XVIII | though I do know that the soul sometimes leaps forth out
235 Life, XVIII | explain is that which the soul feels when it is in the
236 Life, XVIII | mercies like these upon a soul, unless it be that it may
237 Life, XVIII | there is no strength in my soul to be saved, if His Majesty
238 Life, XVIII | effects which abide in the soul, and of that which the soul
239 Life, XVIII | soul, and of that which the soul itself can do, or rather,
240 Life, XVIII | there is a growth of the soul's detachment from creatures
241 Life, XVIII | trials of this life.~14. The soul, while thus seeking after
242 Life, XVIII | whatever, except to hinder the soul's fruition; and so they
243 Life, XVIII | vanishes, and that of the soul increases, to enable it
244 Life, XVIII | that it has thus made the soul to melt away. And this is
245 Life, XVIII | which the faculties of the soul were entranced, is very
246 Life, XVIII | now come to that which the soul feels interiorly. Let him
247 Life, XVIII | am thinking of what the soul was then doing. Our Lord
248 Life, XVIII | able to say is, that the soul is represented as being
249 Life, XVIII | cannot be traced. If the soul is making a meditation on
250 Life, XVIII | Lord—always leaves in the soul the greatest fruits, as
251 Life, XIX | 1. There remains in the soul, when the prayer of union
252 Life, XIX | passed quickly away. The soul remains possessed of so
253 Life, XIX | perception of its vanity. The soul makes greater and higher
254 Life, XIX | this prayer abide in the soul for some time. Now that
255 Life, XIX | fruit is not its own, the soul can begin to share it with
256 Life, XIX | show signs of its being a soul that is guarding the treasures
257 Life, XIX | itself may not be the only soul that is rich in them. It
258 Life, XIX | They understand that this soul is full of virtue: they
259 Life, XIX | and they wish to help that soul to eat it.~5. If this ground
260 Life, XIX | he has already lost that soul which perseveres in prayer,
261 Life, XIX | a sight that must be—a soul so highly exalted falling
262 Life, XIX | hand to save! How such a soul confesses Thy greatness
263 Life, XIX | whatever of them.~ ./. 10. The soul is amazed at it. Who is
264 Life, XIX | Who is there, O Lord of my soul, that is not amazed at compassion
265 Life, XIX | consider it well,—that a soul, though it may receive great
266 Life, XIX | myself knew it; for even if a soul were in this state, it must
267 Life, XIX | the present necessity; the soul is not yet strong enough
268 Life, XIX | Satan prevails:~ ./. when a soul sees itself so near unto
269 Life, XIX | I have just said,264 the soul exposes itself to dangers,
270 Life, XIX | come out of pride; for the soul clearly understands that
271 Life, XIX | discretion: because the soul does not see itself to be
272 Life, XIX | believe, with respect to that soul which God raises to this
273 Life, XX | The Blessing It Is to the Soul. The Effects of It.~1. I
274 Life, XX(267) | union; that is, that the soul in a rapture has a greater
275 Life, XX(267) | because in a rapture the soul loses the use of its exterior
276 Life, XX | is our Lord draws up the soul, as the clouds, so to speak,
277 Life, XX | up to heaven, takes the soul with Him, and begins to
278 Life, XX | about. During rapture, the soul does not seem to animate
279 Life, XX | impossible to resist at all: my soul was carried away, and almost
280 Life, XX | wills it, to control either soul or body, so neither have
281 Life, XX | satisfied with attracting the soul to Himself in so real a
282 Life, XX | exaggerating much. For though the soul feels that pain, it is in
283 Life, XX | company with the body;275 both soul and body apparently share
284 Life, XX | desire, which pierces the soul in a moment, the soul begins
285 Life, XX | the soul in a moment, the soul begins to be wearied, so
286 Life, XX | were, far away from the soul at that moment, yet He reveals
287 Life, XX | show the reason why the soul must be weary; because it
288 Life, XX | that loneliness wherein the soul beholds itself, suffering
289 Life, XX | were such as David was! The soul is then—so I think—not
290 Life, XX | On other occasions, the soul seems to be, as it were,
291 Life, XX | state of the enraptured soul. No consolation reaches
292 Life, XX | painfulness now and then robs the soul of all sensation; only,
293 Life, XX | thing be then offered to the soul, even though it may be that
294 Life, XX | habitually found most sweet, the soul will have none of it; yea,
295 Life, XX | throw it away at once. The soul sees distinctly that it
296 Life, XX | the habitual state of my soul! Generally, when I am not
297 Life, XX | seeing that, though the soul may complain of it, no one
298 Life, XX | to believe in it.~18. The soul is tormented also because
299 Life, XX | parted, which possesses soul and body, is that which
300 Life, XX | distracting itself, causes the soul to seek means of living
301 Life, XX | or the higher part of the soul, which would not wish to
302 Life, XX | full of sweetness, that the soul, discerning its inestimable
303 Life, XX | is only pain. It is the soul that suffers and exults
304 Life, XX | He had given me; for the soul was purified by this pain—
305 Life, XX | 24. I do not say that the soul sees and hears when the
306 Life, XX | utter transformation of the soul in God continues only for
307 Life, XX | continues no faculty of the soul is aware of it, ./. or
308 Life, XX | rapture is not continuous, the soul is frequently absorbed,
309 Life, XX | as I said just now, the soul neither discerns nor considers
310 Life, XX | move for some time; the soul took it all away. Very often,
311 Life, XX | great that is given to the soul in rapture; and sometimes,
312 Life, XX | obedient in that which the soul requires of it. When we
313 Life, XX | here it is the wings of the soul grew, to enable it to fly
314 Life, XX | the standard of God. The soul, as in a place of safety,
315 Life, XX | nothingness thereof. The soul now seeks not, and possesses
316 Life, XX | commander of a fortress! The soul will do nothing but the
317 Life, XX | for from henceforth the soul will have nothing of its
318 Life, XX | advantages spoken of abide in the soul; but if they did not, I
319 Life, XX | by experience, that the soul in rapture is mistress of
320 Life, XX | do not believe the poor soul: they saw it lately so wicked,
321 Life, XX | that it comes not from the soul, but from our Lord, to whom
322 Life, XX | my part, I believe that a soul which has reached this state
323 Life, XX | 33. Oh, what power that soul possesses which our Lord
324 Life, XX | that moves it.~ ./. The soul at times cannot help itself;
325 Life, XX | that state in which the soul itself had been before neither
326 Life, XX | else but a prison.~34. The soul is weary of the days during
327 Life, XX | not pleasing unto God. The soul laughs at itself when it
328 Life, XX | for everything.~36. The soul sees how blind men are to
329 Life, XX | and thus, however much the soul may have laboured at its
330 Life, XX | fall really upon it. The soul is like water in a vessel,
331 Life, XX | literally correct. Before the soul fell into the trance, it
332 Life, XX | happens very often: the soul is utterly blinded, absorbed,
333 Life, XX | Lord of the garden, not the soul, distributes the fruit thereof,
334 Life, XXI | is not necessary for the soul to give its consent here;
335 Life, XXI | it is already given: the soul knows that it has given
336 Life, XXI | Blessed, then, is that soul which our Lord draws on
337 Life, XXI | of that kingdom, if the soul but tastes it, renders the
338 Life, XXI | loathsome.~3. If, then, the soul should be wholly engulfed,
339 Life, XXI | which we are living.~6. A soul that has attained to this
340 Life, XXI | altogether.~7. Strengthen Thou my soul, and prepare it, O Good
341 Life, XXI | 8. Oh, what it is for a soul in this state to have to
342 Life, XXI | deliver him from it.303 The soul cries with the Apostle,
343 Life, XXI | of perfection,—but my soul distinguishes clearly, and
344 Life, XXI | love and humility in the soul, the stronger the perfume
345 Life, XXI | Lord can so work in the soul in an instant during these
346 Life, XXI | but little remains for the soul to do in order to attain
347 Life, XXI | Lord now bestows on the soul. No effort of ours—so
348 Life, XXI | independently of us, draws the soul utterly away from earth,
349 Life, XXI | though the merits of that soul may not be greater than
350 Life, XXI | His pleasure; even if the soul be without the fitting disposition,
351 Life, XXI | that it seems as if the soul was now, in a manner, unable
352 Life, XXI | to do more good; but that soul knows perfectly well that
353 Life, XXI | it.~13. The life of this soul is a life of trouble: the
354 Life, XXI | grace upon grace. God is the soul of that soul now; it is
355 Life, XXI | God is the soul of that soul now; it is He who has the
356 Life, XXI | in His service. When my soul reached this state, in which
357 Life, XXI | it seems to me that the soul in which our Lord worketh
358 Life, XXI | When our Lord brings a soul on to this state, He communicates
359 Life, XXI | all tending to make the soul humble and strong, to make
360 Life, XXII | the writers say that the soul, though it cannot in its
361 Life, XXII | guided mine. It is of my own soul that I wish to speak now,
362 Life, XXII | did not dare to lift up my soul, for that I saw would be
363 Life, XXII | prayer.~4. O Lord of my soul, and my Good! Jesus Christ
364 Life, XXII | cannot have Him graven in my soul as deeply as I wish.~5.
365 Life, XXII | result of experience; for my soul was in a very evil plight,
366 Life, XXII | to be done only when the soul has made very great progress;
367 Life, XXII | Lord distributes to every soul. I do not intermeddle here.
368 Life, XXII | suspends all the powers of the soul,—as we see He does in
369 Life, XXII | at that moment the whole soul is occupied in loving Him
370 Life, XXII | right: it is making the soul, as they say, to walk in
371 Life, XXII | in humility, in that the soul desires to rise of itself
372 Life, XXII | If our Lord will have a soul to be Mary, even on the
373 Life, XXII | something to rest on, though the soul may go forth out of itself
374 Life, XXII | pleaseth will also draw the soul forth out of itself, as
375 Life, XXII | pleased when He beholds a soul in its humility making His
376 Life, XXII | thus that God directed my soul. Others may walk, as I said
377 Life, XXII | humility, and that the more a soul humbles itself in prayer,
378 Life, XXII | believe myself that if a soul makes any efforts of its
379 Life, XXII | I fear, too, that such a soul will never attain to true
380 Life, XXII | and aridities. Though the soul may feel it in some measure,
381 Life, XXII | of God. And now that the soul is permitted to sit at the
382 Life, XXII | begins to bestow upon a soul a grace so great as this
383 Life, XXII | How is it, I ask, that a soul which has ecstasies and
384 Life, XXII | reason might be, that the soul does not despise itself
385 Life, XXII | life and strength. Now, the soul may eat so frequently and
386 Life, XXII | how good a Friend! O my soul's Lord, who can find words
387 Life, XXIII | the whole relief of the soul consists in conferring with
388 Life, XXIII | some days, I saw that my soul had not strength to go forth
389 Life, XXIII | beginning of salvation to my soul. His humility in his relations
390 Life, XXIII | revealed to him the state of my soul, and my way of prayer. He
391 Life, XXIII | ordered the affairs of my soul as if I ought to be perfect
392 Life, XXIII | were not those by which my soul could be helped onwards;
393 Life, XXIII | for they were fitted for a soul more perfect than mine;
394 Life, XXIII | to confer with, that my soul would have made no progress;
395 Life, XXIII | undertake the care of my soul. I see it was all for my
396 Life, XXIII | towards the beginning of the soul's progress and its flight
397 Life, XXIII | reverence will help many a soul, I speak of it here. My
398 Life, XXIII | relates to the union of the soul with God, all those marks
399 Life, XXIII | already discovered what my soul would become without prayer.
400 Life, XXIII | communicated the whole state of my soul to that servant of God347
401 Life, XXIII | mouth in order to heal my soul, so deep was the impression
402 Life, XXIII | thing it is to understand a soul! He told me to make my prayer
403 Life, XXIII | imperfectly obeyed them. My soul began to improve visibly,
404 Life, XXIV | After this my confession, my soul was so docile that, as it

407 Life, XXIV | of life, I felt that my soul profited exceedingly.~6.
408 Life, XXIV | at the same time; for my soul was not at all strong, but
409 Life, XXIV | in the very depth of my soul. They made me afraid,—
410 Life, XXV | and to describe what the soul feels when it receives them,
411 Life, XXV | of God addressed to the soul there is no escape, for
412 Life, XXV | reproof, they dispose a soul at once, strengthen it,
413 Life, XXV | our Lord would have the soul understand that He is all-powerful,
414 Life, XXV | the understanding and the soul are so troubled and distracted
415 Life, XXV | arranged, such as the soul in its most recollected
416 Life, XXV | when the faculties of the soul are suspended; for how should
417 Life, XXV | suspended; for how should the soul then comprehend anything,
418 Life, XXV | as at the time when the soul is in union in the very
419 Life, XXV | all the faculties of the soul are suspended; and, as I
420 Life, XXV | possible at that time. The soul is then wholly in the power
421 Life, XXV | this instant is passed, the soul continuing still entranced,
422 Life, XXV | deceived often. I mean, that a soul accustomed to them, and
423 Life, XXV | effect, neither does the soul accept it,—though it must
424 Life, XXV | 11. I repeat it, unless a soul be so wicked as to pretend
425 Life, XXV | altogether impossible for any soul that has ever known the
426 Life, XXV | know not how that can be. A soul desires to hear these locutions,
427 Life, XXV | understanding itself, and the soul, stand amazed at some of
428 Life, XXV | aridity which remains in the soul after these evil locutions,
429 Life, XXV | temptations and travail of soul in diverse ways; and though
430 Life, XXV | whence it comes; only the soul seems to resist, is troubled
431 Life, XXV | locutions of the evil one, the soul is never gentle, but is,
432 Life, XXV | suffer him to deceive, the soul which has no confidence
433 Life, XXV | heavens open, could make that soul swerve in any degree from
434 Life, XXV | said to the Saints—the soul must not be sure of it.
435 Life, XXV | will not take place if the soul is so strong in the matter—
436 Life, XXV | in the matter—as that soul is to whom our Lord sends
437 Life, XXV | Church holds.~17. If the soul does not discern this great
438 Life, XXV | For though at first the soul is conscious of no harm,
439 Life, XXV | and to have fled from the soul, when the devil has spoken
440 Life, XXV | devil has spoken to it; the soul is thrown into a state of
441 Life, XXV | knowledge of them which my soul possesses! Everything fails
442 Life, XXV | enlightened; in a moment, my soul seemed changed, and I felt
443 Life, XXVI | upon me; for a cowardly soul, afraid of anything but
444 Life, XXVI | but, then, where is that soul so just as to please Him
445 Life, XXVI | Certainly it is not my soul, which is most wretched,
446 Life, XXVI | knows our weakness. But the soul perceives, by the help of
447 Life, XXVI | everything torments the soul, unless it be suffered with
448 Life, XXVI | a weariness, because the soul knows itself to be away ./.

450 Life, XXVI | in such a way that the soul beholds itself as being
451 Life, XXVI | the whole state of the soul, together with ./. the
452 Life, XXVII | nothing with the eyes of the soul. He seemed to me to be close

456 Life, XXVII | understanding so that the soul may have the fruition of
457 Life, XXVII | effects He works in the soul: that is the way His Majesty
458 Life, XXVII | knowledge is impressed on the soul that all doubt seems impossible,
459 Life, XXVII | it when God teaches the soul in another way, and speaks
460 Life, XXVII | impresses in the innermost soul that which He wills that
461 Life, XXVII | that which He wills that soul to understand; and He manifests
462 Life, XXVII | works, in order that the soul may understand what He means—
463 Life, XXVII | understand what is said; then the soul seems to have other ears
464 Life, XXVII | let it be distracted. The soul is like a person whose hearing

469 Life, XXVII | much evil as those of my soul to look upon Thee! May they
470 Life, XXVII | consider what Thou doest to the soul which Thou hast led to such
471 Life, XXVII | which God bestows on the soul; for that cannot be told

476 Life, XXVIII | that it is Thy will the soul should feel the greatness
477 Life, XXVIII | humility, imprinted in the soul by the sight of its own
478 Life, XXVIII | for sins; for though the soul sees that our Lord shows
479 Life, XXVIII | when our Lord shows the soul much of His grandeur and
480 Life, XXVIII | in my opinion, for any soul to endure it, if our Lord
481 Life, XXVIII | Lord is pleased that the soul should suffer from aridity
482 Life, XXVIII | forget God Himself. The soul is itself no longer, it

485 Life, XXVIII | the soul has had: but the soul resists instinctively; is
486 Life, XXVIII | easily recognised; and if a soul consents not to its own
487 Life, XXVIII | certain sweetness and joy, the soul rejects them of itself;
