123 Life, XI | make the matter plain. It may be that the comparison will

126 Life, XI | to our Lord, so that He may come often for His pleasure
127 Life, XI | is to be watered, that we may understand what we have
128 Life, XI | seems to me that the garden may be watered in four ways:
129 Life, XI | occasionally raised my soul. May He graciously grant that
130 Life, XI | graciously grant that I may so speak as to be of some
131 Life, XI | beginners in prayer, we may say, that they are those
132 Life, XI | the well. God grant there may be water in it! That, however,
133 Life, XI | by this way, so that we may perfectly understand how
134 Life, XI | He grants them, that it may not be with us as it was
135 Life, XI | them when He gives water we may draw from the well, others
136 Life, XI | fulfil Thy will in me, and may it never be the pleasure
137 Life, XI | is going back, though it may frequently stumble; for
138 Life, XI | carried gently, that it may make greater progress.~25.
139 Life, XII | was to explain how much we may attain to of ourselves;
140 Life, XII | other acts also, which may help the growth of virtues,
141 Life, XII | active now.~3. The soul may also place itself in the
142 Life, XII | of its joys. All this it may do without set prayers,
143 Life, XII | those risks which the devil may occasion.~5. This, then,
144 Life, XII | anxious that many learned men may become spiritual. I shall
145 Life, XII | perhaps only for myself. May our Lord open their eyes
146 Life, XII | however slight that experience may be, they will immediately

148 Life, XII | always been my Master—may He be blessed for ever!
149 Life, XIII | ourselves, much or little, we may not place ourselves in those

151 Life, XIII | great things, though we may not have the strength for

153 Life, XIII | always go before: so that we may know that this strength

155 Life, XIII | being all our own.~9. We may also imitate the Saints
156 Life, XIII | treated so orderly, that they may disorder the soul; and Satan,
157 Life, XIII | a warning to others, it may be that this story of my
158 Life, XIII | this story of my failures may be useful.~11. There is
159 Life, XIII | to try to bring it about may not be right, except with
160 Life, XIII | with solid virtues, that he may not put temptation in the

187 Life, XIV | send messengers to Him, but may speak to Him itself, and
188 Life, XIV | it, and blot out whatever may be amiss.~10. I should like

194 Life, XIV | so, not once, but often. May it please Thy goodness,
195 Life, XIV | goodness, O Lord, that I may be alone in my ingratitude—
196 Life, XIV | magnify them for ever!~17. May it be so, I beseech Thee,
197 Life, XIV | beseech Thee, O my God, and may I sing of them for ever,
198 Life, XIV | myself continually, that I may praise Thee more and more!
199 Life, XIV | because both of us, I believe, may sing the same song, though

210 Life, XV | supplies us, in order that we may know that of ourselves we

212 Life, XV | more than all the fear they may ever have. If a soul love

217 Life, XVI | that all those with whom I may have to converse may become
218 Life, XVI | whom I may have to converse may become mad through Thy love,
219 Life, XVI | none, or so order it that I may have nothing to do in the
220 Life, XVI | it, unless it be that it may come to Thee. When the soul
221 Life, XVI | and that by living on it may do Thee some service, it

223 Life, XVI | they have to do: and it may be that I have more than
224 Life, XVI | this life is not ended. May our Lord give us His grace
225 Life, XVII | wills that also: His Majesty may do with it as with His own
226 Life, XVII | visits, how brief soever it may be, the Gardener, being
227 Life, XVII | being the will of our Lord, may derive its sustenance from
228 Life, XVII | in order that the soul may believe itself to be in

230 Life, XVII | says of it, it is well, you may believe that God has spoken

232 Life, XVIII | teach me words whereby I may in some measure describe
233 Life, XVIII | not dead altogether. We may thus speak, seeing that

248 Life, XIX | weak, as I am, that they may never despair, nor cease
249 Life, XIX | Queen of Heaven, that she may propitiate Thee; it invokes
250 Life, XIX | I have still to say.~15. May it please our Lord that
251 Life, XIX | Lord that my wanderings may be of this kind, and may
252 Life, XIX | may be of this kind, and may His Majesty never suffer
253 Life, XIX | yea, rather than that, may He destroy me this moment.
254 Life, XIX | with scanty helps,—and I may venture to say no help at
255 Life, XIX | that a soul, though it may receive great graces from
256 Life, XIX | rely on itself, because it may fall, nor expose itself
257 Life, XIX | desires and resolutions they may have.~21. This doctrine
258 Life, XIX | its nest, and God Himself may take it out, but still it
259 Life, XIX | which trusting to itself may do it.~23. This it was that
260 Life, XIX | ourselves of receiving. May He be blessed for ever,
261 Life, XIX | blessed for ever, Amen; and may all created things praise
262 Life, XX | the other matters, so also may He explain this; for certainly,
263 Life, XX | then on our own ground, may be hindered, though that
264 Life, XX | risk everything, come what may, and to abandon ourselves
265 Life, XX | away, however painful it may be; and so trying is it,
266 Life, XX | everything, that, do what it may, there is nothing on earth
267 Life, XX | notwithstanding all it may do, cannot be withdrawn
268 Life, XX | loneliness in which it dwells, it may literally say of itself,
269 Life, XX | himself, except that our Lord may have granted to him, being
270 Life, XX | the soul, even though it may be that which it habitually
271 Life, XX | father, were it only that you may tell me what it means, because
272 Life, XX | seeing that, though the soul may complain of it, no one seems
273 Life, XX | that of those to whom it may make its complaint. It is
274 Life, XX | before,282 and I think I may say that this pain is as
275 Life, XX | eyes are closed, though we may not wish to close them;
276 Life, XX | come together again, there may not be so much to do. Let
277 Life, XX | experience is not very great, it may be, perhaps, that you have
278 Life, XX | consciousness, the faculties may remain, if the rapture has
279 Life, XX | dirt, however slight they may be; for the sun shines most
280 Life, XX | thus, however much the soul may have laboured at its own
281 Life, XXI | only it thinks that God may be served thereby: and yet
282 Life, XXI | have no trial of the kind. May it be Thy good pleasure,
283 Life, XXI | O my God, that the time may come in which I may be able
284 Life, XXI | time may come in which I may be able to pay one farthing
285 Life, XXI | will, that this Thy servant may do Thee some service. Other
286 Life, XXI | Thou the means whereby I may do something for Thee, so
287 Life, XXI | for Thee, so that there may be not even one who can
288 Life, XXI | in return. Cost what it may, O Lord, let me not come
289 Life, XXI | watchtower, from which the truth may be seen,—and while Thou
290 Life, XXI | and the means whereby it may be acquired,—will not,
291 Life, XXI | the merits of that soul may not be greater than mine
292 Life, XXI | attentive to it, that it may not offend Him,—giving
293 Life, XXI | as it were, nothing,—may be thrown among any companions,
294 Life, XXI | distracted and wicked these may be, will neither be hurt

296 Life, XXI | those who serve Him.305~16. May it please His Majesty that
297 Life, XXI | miserable sinner that I am, may have some weight with those
298 Life, XXI | read this, so that they may be strong and courageous
299 Life, XXII | for a lesson that possibly may be necessary; for in some
300 Life, XXII | wrought in it by our Lord,—may nevertheless succeed, by
301 Life, XXII | is what I cannot endure. May God help me to explain myself!
302 Life, XXII | be a delusion: still, it may be that it is I who am deluded.
303 Life, XXII | considerations on which I may ground this opinion. Perhaps
304 Life, XXII | might serve Thee better! It may be that I knew Thee not
305 Life, XXII | takes place in order that we may have a deeper fruition of
306 Life, XXII | how full soever of God it may think itself to be.~13.
307 Life, XXII | rest on, though the soul may go forth out of itself now
308 Life, XXII | itself now and then, or it may be very often so full of
309 Life, XXII | by the help of which it may recollect itself. But this
310 Life, XXII | consolations; come what may, to embrace the cross is
311 Life, XXII | directed my soul. Others may walk, as I said before,319
312 Life, XXII | of union, and though it may seem to make immediate progress,
313 Life, XXII | aridities. Though the soul may feel it in some measure,
314 Life, XXII | understand this, and that we may be those little asses who
315 Life, XXII | little efforts of ours! We may do what we like, but He
316 Life, XXII | with very little labour. May His Majesty give us that
317 Life, XXII | strength of manhood, so that it may trample utterly upon everything.
318 Life, XXII | of His Majesty, that He may do with them as He will.
319 Life, XXII | who are but beginners, we may then liken it to a certain
320 Life, XXII | strength. Now, the soul may eat so frequently and so
321 Life, XXII | it does in many; and we may converse with them long
322 Life, XXII | have had the one, so they may have the other. These instead
323 Life, XXII | discretion are necessary. May our Lord, of His goodness,
324 Life, XXIII | Perfection. Means Whereby It May Be Gained. Instructions
325 Life, XXIII | that what is still to come may be more clearly understood.
326 Life, XXIII | works that were so wicked. May our Lord be praised, who
327 Life, XXIII | in view but to do all he may be permitted to do for all
328 Life, XXIII | forty years in prayer,—it may be two or three years less,
329 Life, XXIII | holy man—for I think I may justly call him so—told
330 Life, XXIII | in whatever direction he may turn, fears a still greater
331 Life, XXIII | is great,—and much evil may be the result of telling
332 Life, XXIII | reach of the dangers that may arise. They should be advised
333 Life, XXV | order that you, my father, may understand the matter; for
334 Life, XXV | whatever resistance we may offer. When we wish not
335 Life, XXV | explain the delusions which may happen here, though he who
336 Life, XXV | and, further, how they may be but an apprehension of
337 Life, XXV | which the Spirit of God may be clearly traced, as I
338 Life, XXV | great love and earnestness may think that he hears in some
339 Life, XXV | fashioned, however cunningly it may have done so, he sees that
340 Life, XXV | work; and though the words may not be meant to stir up
341 Life, XXV | its utterance is lost. It may occur, too, when the understanding
342 Life, XXV | done; and though some of it may be forgotten, and time have
343 Life, XXV | of God. If it has not, it may continue all its life long
344 Life, XXV | that, in my opinion, we may hear the locutions that
345 Life, XXV | locutions: for many days I may desire to hear them, and
346 Life, XXV | am thinking whether this may not be so because one spirit
347 Life, XXV | of these sweetnesses he may deceive any one who does
348 Life, XXV | prayer only so far as this may most easily fall into delusions,
349 Life, XXV | God says this to me, it may be true, as well as what
350 Life, XXV | conscious of no harm, great harm may by degrees ensue; because,
351 Life, XXV | however deep that conviction may be. In this case, there
352 Life, XXV | it is in order that they may learn, in the depths of
