  4     Int, Arg    |      Chapter V.—She continues to speak of the great infirmities
  5     Int, Arg    |         was besides. She begins to speak of the manner and way of
  6    Pref         |             As a good man will not speak unadvisedly, neither will
  7    Pref         |           she required the nuns to speak to her on their knees, and
  8    Pref         |         confessors, enabled her to speak with an accuracy  ./. on
  9    Pref         |         Castillo, and many others, speak highly. This is what I think,
 10    Life, Pro    |        allowed at the same time to speak distinctly and in detail
 11    Life, I      |            ever heard him swear or speak ill of any one; his life
 12    Life, II     |     Monastery.~1. What I shall now speak of was, I believe, the beginning
 13    Life, III    |          nun. How well she used to speak of God! for she was a person
 14    Life, III    |           are chosen."98 She would speak of the reward which our
 15    Life, III    |        others, whom I persuaded to speak to him, be of any avail.
 16    Life, IV     |      betrothal unto Thee. I cannot speak of it without tears; and
 17    Life, V      |           it is no wonder I should speak of it here as a warning

 19    Life, V      |             and no one ventured to speak to him about it. I was extremely
 20    Life, VI     |           I loved to discourse and speak of God; for if I found any
 21    Life, VI     |         refinements—or rather to speak more correctly, the real
 22    Life, VI     |         done amiss in venturing to speak about St. Joseph; for, though
 23    Life, VII    |       could have brought myself to speak with anybody in the monastery
 24    Life, VII    |         They see these ways, so to speak, considered as safe there.~
 25    Life, VII    |    dissemble more, when they would speak of that friendship with
 26    Life, VII    |         have, than when they would speak of those friendships and
 27    Life, VII    |            was a comfort to him to speak of the things of God.~17.
 28    Life, VII    |            abstain. This—I shall speak of it again137—was the
 29    Life, VII    |            by degrees beginning to speak to him, told him about my
 30    Life, VII    |           God! if I might, I would speak of the occasions from which
 31    Life, VII    |            in after years I was to speak of His  ./. service. His
 32    Life, VII    |          which I would not dare to speak of, if I had not known by
 33    Life, VIII   | successfully, not to offend Him. I speak of this now, because all
 34    Life, VIII   |             of which I have now to speak, in them the grounds of
 35    Life, VIII   |            to discuss it.~6. I may speak of that which I know by
 36    Life, VIII   |   persevere in prayer,152 I do not speak of it here; only this will
 37    Life, VIII   |          great mercies?~14. I will speak now—for it is very important
 38    Life, VIII   |            special refreshment. To speak of God, or to hear Him spoken
 39    Life, X      |             and of which I mean to speak.163 Some think it humility
 40    Life, X      |           I was once accustomed to speak of vanities, and that now
 41    Life, X      |          has given me the grace to speak only of Himself?~7. Here,
 42    Life, X      |        Others will explain this. I speak from my own experience,
 43    Life, X      |        good in me.166 Certainly, I speak in all sincerity, so far
 44    Life, X      |        without experience. I shall speak of certain hindrances, which,
 45    Life, XI     |           Sensible Sweetness.~1. I speak now of those who begin to
 46    Life, XI     |     graciously grant that I may so speak as to be of some service
 47    Life, XII    |          presence continually, and speak to Him, pray to Him in its
 48    Life, XII    |          become spiritual. I shall speak of this by and by.182~7.
 49    Life, XII    |            that I might be able to speak of it, the fact is, that
 50    Life, XII    |       allowed, being what I am, to speak of things which are His,
 51    Life, XIII   |           have thought it right to speak of certain temptations I
 52    Life, XIII   |           course.~15. If I were to speak of the mistakes which I
 53    Life, XIII   |          in the three requisites I speak of,198 and that will be
 54    Life, XIII   |        from the subject I began to speak of; but all is to the purpose
 55    Life, XIV    |            of the well, let us now speak of the second manner of
 56    Life, XIV    |         messengers to Him, but may speak to Him itself, and not with
 57    Life, XIV    |         with the naked eye, as men speak, this particular help of
 58    Life, XIV    |           than in gibberish, so to speak, though many years may have
 59    Life, XIV    |       clearly that it is not I who speak, nor is it I who with her
 60    Life, XIV    |          do not know how I came to speak so accurately.206 It has
 61    Life, XV     |        which sends forth—I shall speak of it in the proper place214
 62    Life, XV     |         great for me to be able to speak of it. It is a great sorrow
 63    Life, XV     |            us, for some reasons; I speak of what I have seen.~8.
 64    Life, XV     |            it becomes difficult to speak, and it can be done only
 65    Life, XV     |         body. We, however,  ./. so speak of it—and, in truth, it
 66    Life, XV     |             of which I am going to speak.~22. When it is the work
 67    Life, XV     |          so wicked.~24. As I shall speak at greater length of the
 68    Life, XV     |            God, I shall be able to speak somewhat to the point, because—
 69    Life, XVI    |            Our Lord.~1. Let us now speak of the third water wherewith
 70    Life, XVI    |            it knows not whether to speak or be silent, whether it
 71    Life, XVI    |  comparisons, and taught me how to speak of it, and of what the soul
 72    Life, XVII   |           has to do, or rather, to speak more correctly, of what
 73    Life, XVII   |           that is the reason why I speak of it here.~6. It differs
 74    Life, XVII   |        union, of which I would now speak, frequently occurs, particularly
 75    Life, XVIII  |            altogether. We may thus speak, seeing that to the world
 76    Life, XVIII  |         loved us that we can truly speak of this communication which
 77    Life, XVIII  |        great.~8. I purpose also to speak of the graces and effects
 78    Life, XVIII  |          person like myself should speak of a matter of this kind,
 79    Life, XVIII  |       after so high a good. I will speak of nothing that I do not
 80    Life, XVIII  |          more impossible for me to speak of it at all than to speak
 81    Life, XVIII  |         speak of it at all than to speak Greek. It is a very difficult
 82    Life, XVIII  |           utter what I can neither speak nor understand.249~11. What
 83    Life, XVIII  |            It is useless to try to speak, because it is not possible
 84    Life, XIX    |            which I ever heard Thee speak to me, and it made me greatly
 85    Life, XIX    |     greatly afraid. But as I shall speak hereafter258 of this way
 86    Life, XIX    |         the state of which I shall speak further on.263~22. This
 87    Life, XIX    |        before,265 and would gladly speak of again and again. Let
 88    Life, XX     |      flight of the spirit, as they speak, or from a trance, which
 89    Life, XX     |         soul, as the clouds, so to speak, gather the mists from the
 90    Life, XX     |           made Prioress—never to speak of it. But at other times,
 91    Life, XX     |       revelations of which I shall speak, and after that time, wherein
 92    Life, XX     |          it is the pain of which I speak that is the most frequent
 93    Life, XX     |          its intensity. I will now speak of it when it is sharpest;
 94    Life, XX     |           is sharpest; for I shall speak later on274 of the great
 95    Life, XX     |           every effort possible to speak, it would be of little use:
 96    Life, XX     |            in this state, it is to speak to one who has passed through
 97    Life, XX     |            graces of which I shall speak further on: I do not say
 98    Life, XX     |            return to raptures, and speak of their ordinary characteristics.
 99    Life, XX     |        frequently absorbed, or, to speak more correctly, our Lord
100    Life, XX     |          hold it still.~26. This I speak of lasts but a moment; yet,
101    Life, XX     |        make people suffer. I shall speak of it by and by.290 Perhaps
102    Life, XXI    |       believe many who are able to speak of it in a way very different
103    Life, XXI    |         only believe that I should speak much more to the purpose
104    Life, XXII   |            own soul that I wish to speak now,—I do not intermeddle
105    Life, XXII   |           supernatural prayer,—I speak of the prayer of quiet,—
106    Life, XXII   |          mercies, of which I shall speak hereafter,320 at any other
107    Life, XXIII  |            not think myself fit to speak to them, or strong enough
108    Life, XXIII  |            that the ecclesiastic I speak of, who was so great a servant
109    Life, XXIII  |       great friend, should come to speak to me, intending to confess
110    Life, XXIII  |         When he had brought him to speak to me, I, in the greatest
111    Life, XXIII  |           will help many a soul, I speak of it here. My whole salvation
112    Life, XXIV   |          me, in order that I might speak to him, and give him an
113    Life, XXV    |          more nor less; for when I speak, as I have just said,360
114    Life, XXV    |           comfort. I had no one to speak to, for every one was against
115    Life, XXV    |       possibility that Satan could speak to me so often. Now that
116    Life, XXV    |            occasionally,—I shall speak of this by and by,372—
117    Life, XXVI   |          affair,—of which I will speak hereafter,378—by almost
118    Life, XXVI   |           to keep silence, and not speak of these things to any one,
119    Life, XXVI   |          so much whenever I had to speak of them to my confessor;381
120    Life, XXVI   |            more keenly at times to speak of them than I should have
121    Life, XXVI   |           the help of God, I shall speak more at large of certain
122    Life, XXVI   |         blame any one who shall so speak of it. Our Lord grant that
123    Life, XXVII  |         Christ close by me, or, to speak more correctly, felt Him;
124    Life, XXVII  |    spirituality,—of whom I shall speak by and by,390—and from
125    Life, XXVII  |            he hears  ./. the other speak or move, or he touches him;
126    Life, XXVII  |          whom I had heard, came to speak to me, and I were blind
127    Life, XXVII  |          standing close beside him speak to him with a loud voice.
128    Life, XXVII  |           visions of which I shall speak, an account of which may
129    Life, XXVII  |             12. Now, going back to speak of this way of understanding,
130    Life, XXVII  |           ashamed of myself when I speak of this; and so I should
131    Life, XXVII  |         one thing, however, I will speak, and I think of it now and
132    Life, XXVII  |         men know. I should like to speak of it, for I know it to
133    Life, XXVII  |            bore me that led him to speak; for it was our Lord's will
134    Life, XXVII  |           I said before, and shall speak of again.402 He told me,
135    Life, XXVII  |            he was very pleasant to speak to, for he had a most clear 
136    Life, XXVII  |          that he was dead—or, to speak more correctly, he had begun
137    Life, XXVIII |           That which I wish now to speak of is the manner in which
138    Life, XXVIII |       desolation, of which I shall speak hereafter;412 for then it
139    Life, XXVIII |         whom he commanded417 me to speak of it.~19. I said to them
140    Life, XXVIII |        them once, If they who thus speak of my state were to tell
141    Life, XXIX   |        myself. I wished to see, or speak with, no one, but only to
142    Life, XXX    |        understood me; but he would speak to my confessor, and to
143    Life, XXX    |          soul, of which I will now speak. Nevertheless, as I have
144    Life, XXX    |     occasion, when he had heard me speak of this temptation, told
145    Life, XXXI   |        Satan was the cause, I will speak of others which he wrought
146    Life, XXXI   |           and myself, if I were to speak of these things in detail.~
147    Life, XXXI   |           obtained; but I will not speak of it, that I may not be
148    Life, XXXI   |         not be too diffuse. I will speak, however, of what happened
149    Life, XXXI   |       happen—people would either speak ill of me, or give glory
150    Life, XXXI   |           not be troubled when men speak ill of us, that we are to
151    Life, XXXI   |        more pleased than when they speak well of us; that we must
152    Life, XXXI   |            his hand to the work. I speak of the little nothings and
153    Life, XXXI   |           have not been ashamed to speak of these services. Ah! they
154    Life, XXXI   |           that it is that makes me speak of these wretched beginnings,
155    Life, XXXII  |             that I know not how to speak of it. If I said that the
156    Life, XXXII  |           inclined to murmur or to speak ill of anybody; that I could
157    Life, XXXII  |         then; and though I used to speak of this matter in past times,
158    Life, XXXIII |         future with it, or even to speak of it any more, seeing the
159    Life, XXXIII |      failed me in all the trials I speak of, so frequently consoled
160    Life, XXXIII |   strengthened me, that I need not speak of it here. He told me then
161    Life, XXXIII |           done; and as I would not speak of it, in order that nothing
162    Life, XXXIII |      matter; nor did our Lord once speak to me about it. I know not
163    Life, XXXIII |           and my confessor bade me speak to him in all freedom and
164    Life, XXXIII |        very greatest repugnance to speak of this matter; but so it
165    Life, XXXIII |       Shortly after I had begun to speak to him, our Lord began to
166    Life, XXXIV  |         rose up in order to go and speak to him. But as I was then
167    Life, XXXIV  |            for him; and he came to speak to me in one of the confessionals.
168    Life, XXXIV  |            I believe, to refuse to speak; for notwithstanding all
169    Life, XXXIV  |          simple, silly way, when I speak without knowing very often
170    Life, XXXIV  |     suffered such a one as I am to speak so boldly before His Majesty!
171    Life, XXXIV  |          because I knew not how to speak to him; for this carrying
172    Life, XXXIV  |       scarcely knew himself, so to speak. He has given him bodily
173    Life, XXXIV  |         little myself that I could speak on the subject to one like
174    Life, XXXIV  |          that which I had begun to speak of. I was in the greatest
175    Life, XXXIV  |           the Holy Ghost seemed to speak threw me into a deep trance,
176    Life, XXXIV  |          think it expedient now to speak further on this point; if,
177    Life, XXXIV  |           others, of which I shall speak hereafter, relating to it
178    Life, XXXVI  |            I should have nobody to speak to, and might have some
179    Life, XXXVII |            you, my fathers, I will speak of some of them to His glory.
180    Life, XXXVII |         which He had come. I could speak to Him as to a friend, though
181    Life, XXXVII |           only certain persons may speak. If a poor man have any
182    Life, XXXVII |           and labour before he can speak to them. Ah, if such a one
183    Life, XXXVII |         feet; for they who do this speak the truth, fear nothing,
184    Life, XXXVII |            am. We can converse and speak with Thee about everything
185    Life, XXXVII |    surprised that we dare not thus speak to a king, for it is only
186    Life, XXXVII |    lectures should be given, so to speak, teaching us how to do it;
187    Life, XXXVII |      greatness of God I am come to speak of the meanness of the world!
188    Life, XXXVIII|           much it distressed me to speak of them, owing to the great
189    Life, XXXVIII|            which I am now going to speak of, on many accounts, because
190    Life, XXXVIII|            nor saw anything, so to speak, because of my great inward
191    Life, XXXVIII|           Now that I have begun to speak of the visions I had concerning
192    Life, XXXVIII|          of a friar is.~41. I will speak no more of these things,
193    Life, XXXIX  |        Lord herein, that were I to speak of them I should only weary
194    Life, XXXIX  |         tied; who, though he would speak, yet cannot; or, if he speaks,
195    Life, XXXIX  |          not to be heard is, so to speak, like vocal prayer; the
196    Life, XXXIX  |            of His hand. Now that I speak of seeing things as they
197    Life, XXXIX  |           I call that mine which I speak without having had it made
198    Life, XXXIX  |           little light and love. I speak of that brief interval in
199    Life, XXXIX  |         the poor soul. We need not speak of those who are not great
200    Life, XXXIX  |         distress our Lord began to speak to me: He bade me not to
201    Life, XL     |          some of which I will here speak of, others I cannot describe.~
202    Life, XL     |         very great desire never to speak of anything but of those
203    Life, XL     |        books on prayer, where they speak of where we are to seek
204    Life, XL     |           think it is necessary to speak of them, because the state
205    Life, XL     |        extremely cautious never to speak of them but to my confessors,
206    Life, XL     |           it gave me great pain to speak of them even to my confessors.~
207    Life, XL     |           the glory!—though many speak against me, but out of a
208    Life, XL     |          though some are afraid to speak to me, and even to hear
209    Life, XL     |            was, for I am forced to speak to some people. But as I
210    Life, XL     |          felt it more difficult to speak of the graces which I have
211    Life, XL     |     received from our Lord than to speak of my offences against His
212     Rel, I(622) |          advise that soul never to speak of what he says to it; but
