  9    Life, IV    |              if I had understood the matter. It is true that the prayer

 13    Life, VI    |          without any doubt, that the matter would have been remedied,
 14    Life, VII   |              Himself should take the matter seriously into His own hands.~
 15    Life, VII   |              not dare to discuss the matter with any one, and as great
 16    Life, VII   |            was so deep.~23. It was a matter for which we ought to praise
 17    Life, VII   |              the same thing. It is a matter of the last importance,
 18    Life, VII   |              he who will discuss the matter with this intention will
 19    Life, VII   |               it is a most important matter for those souls who are
 20    Life, VII   |              common, that it seems a matter of boasting now, and the
 21    Life, VII   |        believeth another who in this matter has had experience, will

 23    Life, X     |              have also discussed the matter with men of great learning,
 24    Life, XI    |           for some means to make the matter plain. It may be that the
 25    Life, XI    |              great experience in the matter, and I know it is true;
 26    Life, XI    |    Altogether, experience is a great matter, and it makes us understand
 27    Life, XII   |              a great treasury in the matter of this exercise, if it
 28    Life, XII   |             he who will consider the matter will trace that slight want
 29    Life, XII   |           should be indebted in this matter. So, without my wishing
 30    Life, XII   |              know it, unless it be a matter that touches my conscience.~
 31    Life, XII   |              dwelt so long upon this matter because this way of prayer

 33    Life, XIII  |             whose discretion in that matter is not excessive. That,
 34    Life, XIII  |            would do any good in this matter ought to be endowed with
 35    Life, XIII  |            Lord shall send them both matter and light; for they can
 36    Life, XIII  |            suffer.~23. Although this matter of self-knowledge must never

 39    Life, XIV   |              will not understand the matter; and it must have so much
 40    Life, XV    |          give a clear account of the matter; for many are the souls
 41    Life, XV    |               18. It is a very great matter to have this always before
 42    Life, XV    |           clear, that it is rather a matter of necessity to forget it,
 43    Life, XV    |            reasonably believe in the matter. Souls, therefore, are not
 44    Life, XVI   |          been able to comprehend the matter at last. Blessed be our
 45    Life, XVII  |            let it go; if to hell, no matter, as it is going thither
 46    Life, XVII  |            is so, and understand the matter when it shall happen to
 47    Life, XVII  |            to find an account of the matter in writing, and to understand
 48    Life, XVIII |         enable you to understand the matter; I can go no further.~5.
 49    Life, XVIII |             myself should speak of a matter of this kind, and give any
 50    Life, XVIII |               It is a very difficult matter; so I left it, and went
 51    Life, XVIII |            long.250 The truth of the matter is this: it is extremely
 52    Life, XIX   |            neighbours understand the matter, because the odour  ./. 
 53    Life, XX    |           and who now understand the matter better,—my bones are racked,
 54    Life, XX    |             had no experience in the matter, they will think, perhaps,
 55    Life, XX    |              have not considered the matter so much as I have done.~
 56    Life, XXI   |          Delusions.~1. To bring this matter to an end, I say that it
 57    Life, XXI   |             make it plain. This is a matter which a person of any experience
 58    Life, XXII  |      contemplation, I considered the matter carefully; and I see that
 59    Life, XXII  |             to be.~13. It is a great matter for us to have our Lord
 60    Life, XXII  |             I have understood of the matter is this: that the whole
 61    Life, XXII  |             God. In short, the whole matter is as His Majesty wills.
 62    Life, XXII  |            be able to understand the matter. There are also some whom
 63    Life, XXIII |           who did not comprehend the matter, to be a grievous loss but,
 64    Life, XXIII |            the very beginning in the matter of virtue and of mortification.~
 65    Life, XXIII |              and make me abandon the matter altogether. I wonder at
 66    Life, XXIII |          with them; yea, rather, the matter should be very carefully
 67    Life, XXIII |            further directions in the matter.~19. He left me consoled
 68    Life, XXIV  |        having been negligent in this matter hitherto because of my great
 69    Life, XXIV  |    ungrateful. He told me to lay the matter before God for a few days,
 70    Life, XXIV  |             commands upon me in this matter. When my confessor saw how
 71    Life, XXV   |           father, may understand the matter; for ever since that time
 72    Life, XXV   |           that a person commending a matter to God with great love and
 73    Life, XXV   |          should dwell longer on this matter. It is a wonder to me that
 74    Life, XXVIII|              occupied, it is a great matter that a presence so divine
 75    Life, XXVIII|             we have any power in the matter or not will appear by what
 76    Life, XXIX  |            them see the truth of the matter. He seemed to me to be angry
 77    Life, XXIX  |             little or nothing in the matter; and our Lord never released
 78    Life, XXIX  |           soul knows not what is the matter with it, nor what it wishes
 79    Life, XXX   |            The light he threw on the matter was of the clearest; for
 80    Life, XXX   |             them both, explained the matter, and gave them reasons why
 81    Life, XXX   |              true explanation of the matter.~14. Faith is then as dead,
 82    Life, XXX   |             trouble myself about the matter.~21. I see clearly enough
 83    Life, XXXI  |        afraid, and find out what the matter really was.~4. I know by
 84    Life, XXXI  |              Lord; for they took the matter greatly to heart; and he
 85    Life, XXXI  |            delude themselves in this matter; they would fly before God
 86    Life, XXXI  |             it happened to me in the matter of humility. When I saw
 87    Life, XXXI  |          they would laugh at me, the matter being so trifling.~28. O
 88    Life, XXXII |             it is a wholly different matter. In short, the one is a
 89    Life, XXXII |             makes me wish that, in a matter which concerns us so much,
 90    Life, XXXII |         desire, began to discuss the matter with that widowed lady who
 91    Life, XXXII |              we agreed to commit the matter with all earnestness to 
 92    Life, XXXII |          oppose nor thwart me in the matter.~15. So efficacious was
 93    Life, XXXII |              I used to speak of this matter in past times, yet it was
 94    Life, XXXII |         otherwise than put the whole matter before my confessor, and
 95    Life, XXXII |           end. He told me to lay the matter before my superior,476 and
 96    Life, XXXII |          gave an account of all this matter. This was even before the
 97    Life, XXXII |             us, and to ponder on the matter, the object we had in view,
 98    Life, XXXII |             make haste to settle the matter. He told us how and in what
 99    Life, XXXIII|      Consoles the Saint.~1. When the matter was in this state—so near
100    Life, XXXIII|             had done anything in the matter contrary to his will. Our
101    Life, XXXIII|              had a revelation in the matter; and people came to me in
102    Life, XXXIII|            if there was anything the matter with it of such a nature
103    Life, XXXIII|           begged him to consider the matter well, and tell me if there
104    Life, XXXIII|             his opinion on the whole matter. He reassured me much, and,
105    Life, XXXIII|         thinking nor speaking of the matter; nor did our Lord once speak
106    Life, XXXIII|          repugnance to speak of this matter; but so it was, when I went
107    Life, XXXIII|            small labour to have this matter settled by the plenary sanction
108    Life, XXXIV |             what had I to do in that matter?—and so I returned to
109    Life, XXXIV |             himself, because in this matter our Lord imparts perhaps
110    Life, XXXIV |             study that which in this matter can be by study ascertained;
111    Life, XXXIV |              never permit me, in any matter whatever,—much more in
112    Life, XXXV  |             great help to me in this matter. Some at first told me that
113    Life, XXXV  |              they had considered the matter longer, they found in it
114    Life, XXXV  |             earnestly commending the matter to God, our Lord told me
115    Life, XXXV  |            day was so serious a  ./. matter in the affairs of this holy
116    Life, XXXVI |            imperfection in the whole matter, I would have given up the
117    Life, XXXVI |              not care much about the matter. Satan also suggested whether
118    Life, XXXVI |          death. I could not make the matter known to any one, because
119    Life, XXXVI |              the Provincial, and the matter was reserved for him. When
120    Life, XXXVI |             thus dissolved, that the matter ought to be well considered,
121    Life, XXXVI |            for a report on the whole matter.~17. Here was the beginning
122    Life, XXXVI |              me not to meddle in the matter. He is so great a lover
123    Life, XXXVI |         world were on my side in the matter; and at once I looked upon
124    Life, XXXVI |            than others for us in the matter,—what had taken place,
125    Life, XXXVI |           forward, who, now that the matter was in good train, advised
126    Life, XXXVII|              I felt very safe in the matter, I always showed myself

129    Life, XXXIX |              light to understand the matter; and herein He regards the
130    Life, XXXIX |           how it was; very often the matter seemed to me, on the one

133    Life, XL    |             always best to refer the matter to the director. I have
134    Life, XL    |        fallen into any errors in the matter, for I had the intention
