 23    Life, III      |                This good companionship began to root out the habits which
 24    Life, III      |              much the better for it. I began to say many vocal prayers,
 25    Life, III      |           passing rapidly away. I also began to be afraid that, if I

 27    Life, IV       |              enough. The fainting-fits began to be more frequent; and
 28    Life, IV       |           found pleasure in reading, I began to spend a certain time

 35    Life, V        |                12. When I knew this, I began to show him greater affection:
 36    Life, V        |             roused from deep sleep, he began to consider all that he
 37    Life, V        |             parched up, that my sinews began to shrink. The pains I had

 41    Life, VII      |               As my sins multiplied, I began to lose the pleasure and
 42    Life, VII      |                pretence of humility. I began to be afraid of giving myself

 54    Life, XVIII    |             experience: and so, when I began to describe the last kind
 55    Life, XIX      |                thorns (as I was when I began); if the occasions of sin

 57    Life, XIX      |                Calumny and persecution began at once, and, as I think,
 58    Life, XIX      |            rectum judicium tuum,"257 I began to think what a deep truth
 59    Life, XIX      |               be less given to evil; I began to be converted, though
 60    Life, XX       |        wandered from my subject; for I began by speaking of raptures,
 61    Life, XXI      |              passed since some of them began to walk in the way of perfection,

 64    Life, XXIII    |               myself!~2. When, then, I began to avoid the occasions of
 65    Life, XXIII    |             unto prayer, our Lord also began to bestow His graces upon
 66    Life, XXIII    |              receive them. His Majesty began to give me most frequently
 67    Life, XXIII    |             and deceits of Satan,332 I began to be afraid, because the
 68    Life, XXIII    |             was a little distracted, I began to be afraid, and to imagine
 69    Life, XXIII    |                indeed, he  ./. was. He began with a holy resolution to
 70    Life, XXIII    |          person so wicked as I was. He began his visits, he encouraged

 72    Life, XXIII    |       imperfectly obeyed them. My soul began to improve visibly, as I
 73    Life, XXIV     |               prepared to undertake. I began at once to make a change
 74    Life, XXIV     |              power to resist Him.~2. I began with a renewed love of the
 75    Life, XXIV     |             Sacred Humanity; my prayer began to be solid, like a house,
 76    Life, XXIV     |            exceedingly.~6. This father began by putting me in the way

 80    Life, XXVIII   |              All this distressed me. I began to be afraid I should find

 87    Life, XXXII    |                 I, having this desire, began to discuss the matter with
 88    Life, XXXII    |              same wish that I had. She began to consider how to provide
 89    Life, XXXII    |            sisters together. Before we began our arrangements, we wrote
 90    Life, XXXII    |              17. As soon as the affair began to be known here, there

 92    Life, XXXII    |               was, that the Provincial began to think it hard for him

101    Life, XXXVI    |         nothing of the kind; for if we began with an endowment, they
102    Life, XXXVI    |            sing the Office, the people began to have a great devotion
103    Life, XXXVI    |            were received, and our Lord began to stir up those who had

105    Life, XXXVIII  |                to pray very often, and began to read about the feast
106    Life, XXXVIII  |              of our Lord to me, and so began to consider the place which

128     Rel, VI       |            sacristy belonging to it. I began to think of one great grace
129     Rel, VII      |                ago, and from the first began to reflect on the mysteries
