5 Pref, 0(64) | one who she thought would believe that these things came from
6 Pref | women, who are very ready to believe of them that they come from
7 Pref | the truth.~"5. I firmly believe that if God for a time bears
8 Pref | thirteen years she has, I believe, founded a dozen monasteries
9 Pref | reading. It is impossible to believe that F. Bouix has stated
10 Life, I | seriously when I was, I believe, six or seven years old.
11 Life, I(88) | The Bollandists incline to believe that St. Teresa may not

13 Life, I | in my simplicity, and I believe that it was of service to
14 Life, II | shall now speak of was, I believe, the beginning of great
15 Life, II | more, I think—I do not believe that I turned away from
16 Life, II | companion can do,—nor could I believe it if I did not know it
17 Life, II | conversations did me harm—I believe so. The fault was perhaps
18 Life, II | dissembling, that he never would believe me to be so wicked as I
19 Life, III | finished his course, that I believe him to have the vision of
20 Life, IV | so great, that I do not believe the pain of dying will be

22 Life, IV | have remained alone; and I believe that, by the grace of God,
23 Life, IV | assailed me openly then, I believe I should never have fallen
24 Life, V | because then I had not, as I believe, that love of God which
25 Life, V | the sister, was, I really believe, not less painful and trying
26 Life, V | to keep me from them. I believe that God, by reason of my
27 Life, V | continued in this blindness, I believe, more than seventeen years,
28 Life, V | of enchantments, I do not believe it to be altogether true;
29 Life, V | done him good—though I believe that what touched him most
30 Life, V | affection for me; for I believe that all men must have a
31 Life, V | dull, yet my confession, I believe, was complete as to all
32 Life, V | far more perilous state. I believe I exaggerate nothing if
33 Life, VI | from those conversations, I believe, without any doubt, that
34 Life, VI | God, that he who does not believe me will make the trial for
35 Life, VI | things of the world; nor do I believe that anything that does
36 Life, VII | that danger—and it is, I believe, the very greatest danger—
37 Life, VII | they do to be good, and so believe, but without really believing;
38 Life, VII | and thus I am never, I believe, free from great pain, which
39 Life, VII | myself during his illness. I believe I rendered him some service
40 Life, VII | light, people would not believe it when they saw other things,
41 Life, VII | great consolations. I do not believe I am saying foolish things,
42 Life, VII | that is to me—and, I believe, to all who have any knowledge
43 Life, VII | from it with merit; and I believe that he who will discuss
44 Life, VII | great straits.~37. This, I believe, must have been the reason
45 Life, VII | trust to himself, but to believe that God will help him in
46 Life, VII | are born of women; but I believe that he who, humbling himself,
47 Life, VIII | were many months, and, I believe, occasionally a whole year,
48 Life, VIII | humility;150 let him rather believe that His words are true
49 Life, VIII | neither could I entirely believe that those things which
50 Life, IX | petition. I do certainly believe that this was of great service
51 Life, IX | thereby. For my part, I believe that my soul gained very
52 Life, IX | from so fatal a death! I believe that my soul obtained great
53 Life, IX | by them; nevertheless, I believe that they did me some service;
54 Life, X | not by way of vision; I believe it was what is called mystical
55 Life, X | partially attainable, I believe, in some measure, by our
56 Life, X | think it humility not to believe that God is bestowing His
57 Life, X | mercy upon us.164 Let us believe that He Who gives these
58 Life, XI | conversation in Heaven, I believe that this blessing would
59 Life, XI | perfection, such a one, I believe, will never go alone to
60 Life, XI | of mystical theology—I believe they call it by that name—
61 Life, XI | perfectly rewarded.~18. I believe that it is our Lord's good
62 Life, XI | with His great treasures. I believe it to be for our good that
63 Life, XI | after so many years. Let us believe that all is for our greater
64 Life, XI | know it to be so. Let them believe it as an imperfection: they
65 Life, XI | end; and that is owing, I believe, in great measure, to their
66 Life, XIII | should be, because Satan, I believe, does great harm; for he
67 Life, XIII | neither can I be made to believe it to be sound; for I have
68 Life, XIII | is not excessive. That, I believe, is reason enough why those
69 Life, XIII | we set ourselves to pray. Believe me in this, for I know it
70 Life, XIII | further, for I am meddling, I believe, with too many matters.
71 Life, XIII | illusions of the devil. I believe that the evil spirits are
72 Life, XIV | communicated ./. to it. This, I believe, is it that makes the virtues
73 Life, XIV | in the Sacrament. We may believe so most truly; for so it
74 Life, XIV | you; because both of us, I believe, may sing the same song,
75 Life, XV | that it advances so far, I believe that He will not fail to
76 Life, XV | to rise again; they must believe and believe again that,
77 Life, XV | again; they must believe and believe again that, if they cease
78 Life, XV | eyes of Infinite Wisdom, believe me, a little striving after
79 Life, XV | only with great pain.~15. I believe myself that we know whether
80 Life, XV | not treat of them here. I believe, ./. too, that, with the
81 Life, XV | whom we may reasonably believe in the matter. Souls, therefore,
82 Life, XVI | some five or six years, I believe, since our Lord raised me
83 Life, XVI | mine, has been the cause, I believe, why our Lord, to-day, after
84 Life, XVI | this morning,233 I do not believe that I am the person who
85 Life, XVII | order that the soul may believe itself to be in possession
86 Life, XVII | it, it is well, you may believe that God has spoken it,
87 Life, XVIII | the imagination,—for I believe that even the imagination
88 Life, XVIII | thought it impossible. Not to believe that He was present, was
89 Life, XVIII | by His grace. I could not believe that, because, as I am saying,
90 Life, XIX | authority, that people might believe what I say. I pray to our
91 Life, XIX | the house,—and I do not believe I ever shall, if God of
92 Life, XIX | which I have spoken?~19. I believe that a certain Dominican
93 Life, XIX | spiritual persons. I fully believe, with respect to that soul
94 Life, XX | explain this great pain, and I believe I shall not be able; however,
95 Life, XX | the most spiritual; and I believe that I am not exaggerating
96 Life, XX | do not think any one can believe or comprehend it who has
97 Life, XX | no one seems disposed to believe in it.~18. The soul is tormented
98 Life, XX | so wicked, I never could believe it was anything wrong: on
99 Life, XX | hears, nor perceives, as I believe; but, as I said of the previous
100 Life, XX | always brings. No one will believe this who has not had experience
101 Life, XX | of it, and so they do not believe the poor soul: they saw
102 Life, XX | will.~32. For my part, I believe that a soul which has reached
103 Life, XX | delusion which led it to believe that to be honour which
104 Life, XX | though, as to this, I verily believe that I never had to confess
105 Life, XX | paid to honour and money! I believe it would be a remedy for
106 Life, XXI | abroad, people would not believe me— ./. as they do not
107 Life, XXI | me— ./. as they do not believe many who are able to speak
108 Life, XXI | satisfy myself, at least. I believe I should count my life as
109 Life, XXI | will tear this out: only believe that I should speak much
110 Life, XXI | it, will ever be able to believe what our Lord now bestows
111 Life, XXII | was reading. I can well believe that he who has attained
112 Life, XXII | continued in it, I~ ./. believe I should never have reached
113 Life, XXII | then held, without pain; I believe it was an act of high treason,
114 Life, XXII | it as I am doing now. I believe myself that this is the
115 Life, XXII | imagined of myself.~17. I believe myself that if a soul makes
116 Life, XXII | possible. What a thing to believe, that God will wait till
117 Life, XXII | will. We never thoroughly believe that God rewards a hundredfold
118 Life, XXIII | broke off,331 having made, I believe, a longer digression than
119 Life, XXIII | wonder; for he had spent, I believe, nearly forty years in prayer,
120 Life, XXIII | and of mortification.~9. I believe certainly, if I had only
121 Life, XXIII | say; and yet no one will believe it who has not had experience
122 Life, XXIII | public myself.343~15. I believe that our Lord permitted344
123 Life, XXIV | lost the fear,—caused, I believe, by the strangeness of the
124 Life, XXIV | whatever except those who, as I believe, love God, and who strive
125 Life, XXV | it or not,—nor does it believe it; on ./. the contrary,
126 Life, XXV | evidently most wrong. I believe, however, that these first
127 Life, XXV | came from God, I would not believe it. The fact is, that all
128 Life, XXV | this, and myself unable to believe them, I had at once a most
129 Life, XXV | learned men. Why should I not believe them? I did all I could
130 Life, XXV | them? I did all I could to believe them. I reflected on my
131 Life, XXVI | as make it impossible, I believe, for anybody to mistake
132 Life, XXVI | yet he was the one who, I believe, did me the most good. Though
133 Life, XXVI | I thought they did not believe ./. me, and that they were
134 Life, XXVII | to desire a change, nor believe that I was under the influence
135 Life, XXVII | was doing all I could to believe the one and to desire the
136 Life, XXVII | me; and I saw, too, as I believe, that it was He who was
137 Life, XXVII | me who he was, I should believe him; but I could not so
138 Life, XXVII | bride in the Canticle, so I believe, and I have heard that it
139 Life, XXVII | going to his rest. I did not believe it. I spoke of it to some
140 Life, XXVII | greater comfort to me, I do believe, than he was on earth. Our
141 Life, XXVIII | prayer of quiet only will, I believe, detect them by those results
142 Life, XXVIII | himself.~16. Thus, then, as I believe, Satan can do no harm to
143 Life, XXVIII | I should not be able to believe this that they said, though
144 Life, XXVIII | wicked, I said, I could not believe that Satan, if he wished
145 Life, XXVIII | destruction; and they would not believe what he said to them. On
146 Life, XXVIII | the whole truth to him. I believe that he received this light
147 Life, XXIX | me; for, as I could not believe that the vision did not ./.
148 Life, XXIX | cut in pieces, I could not believe it was Satan. This was to
149 Life, XXX | beginning with me, as I believe; and God grant I may not
150 Life, XXX | such a way as to make me believe either of them, otherwise
151 Life, XXX | understanding and the imagination, I believe, which hurt me here; for
152 Life, XXX | has done us; that is, I believe, what has rendered us incapable
153 Life, XXXI | can do great things; and I believe the sisters of this house
154 Life, XXXI | came back; he did so, I believe, three times, and I was
155 Life, XXXI | themselves; and I too, I believe, would have gone back also,
156 Life, XXXI | it, because many souls, I believe, delude themselves in this
157 Life, XXXI | gives them wings.~21. I believe I have made this comparison
158 Life, XXXI | matters. You, my father, must believe that we are not all of us
159 Life, XXXI | spiritual life, let him believe me and throw this embarrassment
160 Life, XXXI | 24. Well, then, let them believe me: for the love of our
161 Life, XXXI | opportunity of doing so. I believe that our Lord will never
162 Life, XXXI | it—on the contrary, I believe our Lord has been pleased
163 Life, XXXII | of souls; for certainly I believe that, to save even one from
164 Life, XXXII | anybody; that I could not—I believe so—wish harm to any one;
165 Life, XXXII | against our conscience, I believe I should have given it up,
166 Life, XXXIII | Provincial changed his mind. I believe that the change was divinely
167 Life, XXXIII | me nothing. No one could believe it, not even those men of
168 Life, XXXIII | confessor himself could hardly believe it. I had done, as it seemed
169 Life, XXXIV | artificial life!—though I believe that this lady, notwithstanding
170 Life, XXXIV | to insist, nor in mine, I believe, to refuse to speak; for
171 Life, XXXIV | I ought to do it, that I believe I made a promise to God
172 Life, XXXIV | All these blessings, I believe, came to him through the
173 Life, XXXV | cell of God,—for such I believe it to be,—the lodging
174 Life, XXXVI | suspicions;—still, they did not believe. It was very wonderful,
175 Life, XXXVI | pains! Certainly this was, I believe, one of the most distressing
176 Life, XXXVI | twenty-eight years of religion, I believe that our Lord suffered me
177 Life, XXXVI | inexpedient. May they always believe one who with much labour,
178 Life, XXXVII | so many, that nobody can believe they were ever given to
179 Life, XXXVII | visible, if people are to believe in it. This is reason enough
180 Life, XXXVII | out more and more.~12. I believe that now the best course
181 Life, XXXVII | hast for me endure this? I believe, O Lord, if it were possible
182 Life, XXXVII | Thyself from me—I think and believe so—such is Thy love, that
183 Life, XXXVII | then, God grant they may believe you.~16. I repeat it,—
184 Life, XXXVIII| there should be any found to believe me. Blessed be Thy name,
185 Life, XXXVIII| such that I remained, as I believe, some days before I could

188 Life, XXXIX | For more than a month I believe I did nothing else but pray
189 Life, XXXIX | deeply in His debt; and I believe that He makes my desire

191 Life, XXXIX | of saying myself, and I believe in all sincerity: "What
192 Life, XXXIX | supported by certain animals; I believe I saw the form of them:
193 Life, XXXIX | was so,—I was to ./. believe that He would not suffer
194 Life, XXXIX | should do wrong if I did not believe them.601~36. Once, when
195 Life, XL | am: They are not many, I believe, who know by experience
196 Life, XL | my sins to remembrance. I believe, if it had pleased our Lord
197 Life, XL(611)| therefore was inclined to believe that the Saint referred

202 Rel, I | find itself satisfied, I believe my life would come to an
203 Rel, I | anything myself, but because I believe that God helps those who,
204 Rel, I | one who would help me to believe so, and to be without thought
205 Rel, I | me in this life; and so I believe that God has led me along
206 Rel, I | which I am speaking make me believe that it comes from God;
207 Rel, I | only His glory. I cannot believe that Satan has sought so
208 Rel, I | be so foolish. Nor can I believe it of God, though I have
209 Rel, I | another way.636 I do not believe that these things would
210 Rel, I | they could not make me believe that this is the work of

212 Rel, I | that, though I do certainly believe this to be from God, I would

222 Rel, VII | one who she thought would believe that these things came from
223 Rel, VII | neither would she have them believe that all were from God;
224 Rel, VIII | on within him, nor do I believe that he would feel if he

227 Rel, XI | ever present, and that, I believe, is a vision of a much higher
