116 Life, VI | which I was insensible, so great was my distress, that our
117 Life, VI | dislike of food was very great.~3. I was now so anxious

119 Life, VI | beginning of my illness, with great joy; for all this was as
120 Life, VI | impossible to endure so great an affliction with so great
121 Life, VI | great an affliction with so great a joy.~4. It was a great
122 Life, VI | great a joy.~4. It was a great thing for me to have had
123 Life, VI | so perfectly, upon some great occasions that presented
124 Life, VI | offended God, dreading it as a great chastisement. This grew
125 Life, VI | upon me afterwards to so great a degree, that I know of
126 Life, VI | He gave me in prayer, the great debt I owed Him, the evil
127 Life, VI | grievous, because I saw the great goodness of our Lord to
128 Life, VI | though I bore my illness with great joy. Sometimes, too, I used
129 Life, VI | amazement when I consider the great favours which God hath given
130 Life, VI | will see by experience the great good ./. that results from
131 Life, VI | soon to fall, after such great consolations from God—
132 Life, VI | me that I should not with great resolution undertake for
133 Life, VII | and even more, and had great confidence in me; for as
134 Life, VII | utmost sincerity, and in great perfection, serve our Lord,
135 Life, VII | blindness, which was so great, to give me light. Christ
136 Life, VII | matter with any one, and as great importunity was used, I
137 Life, VII | that was because I had a great affection for her.~13. At
138 Life, VII | also saw, something like a great toad crawling towards us,
139 Life, VII | to me, now grown old, a great servant of God, and a strict
140 Life, VII | that my wickedness and the great goodness of God might be
141 Life, VII | hell for ingratitude so great, and, moreover, if it should
142 Life, VII | assured them there was no such great danger therein. I did so
143 Life, VII | think it was, he made so great a progress that I used to
144 Life, VII | Lord for it. It was a very great consolation to me. He had
145 Life, VII | never, I believe, free from great pain, which is sometimes
146 Life, VII | little care, we may find great blessings on those occasions
147 Life, VII | and as he had now risen to great heights of prayer himself,
148 Life, VII | in order to explain the great blindness I was in: going
149 Life, VII | times, that it put him into great torture. I said to him,
150 Life, VII | to him, that as he had so great a devotion to our Lord carrying
151 Life, VII | fearing God, did me a very great service; for I confessed
152 Life, VII(146) | attention to this as a proof of great laxity in those days—that
153 Life, VII | the things of God gave me great pleasure; and I was a prisoner
154 Life, VII | I had any—and made it great in the eyes of all, so that
155 Life, VII | munificence regarded not my great sins, but rather the desires
156 Life, VII | didst chastise my sins with great consolations. I do not believe
157 Life, VII | were strong.~32. It is a great evil for a soul to be alone
158 Life, VII | alone in the midst of such great dangers; it seems to me
159 Life, VII | he will find himself in great straits.~37. This, I believe,

162 Life, VIII | can trace distinctly the great mercy of our Lord to me,
163 Life, VIII | over without my spending a great part of them in prayer were
164 Life, VIII | of my telling this at so great a length is that, as I have
165 Life, VIII | that men may understand how great is the good which God works
166 Life, VIII | prayer is in possession of a great blessing, of which many

168 Life, VIII | His friendship, and how great is His love for you, rise

173 Life, VIII | lonely and pure, with a great desire to receive His graces.
174 Life, VIII | that He should show us His great mercies?~14. I will speak
175 Life, VIII | behold His mercy, and the great good it was for me that
176 Life, VIII | of our Lord, and for the great love with which He goeth
177 Life, VIII | more and more from those great dangers, but not wholly
178 Life, VIII | even now, because of its great sufferings, and the little
179 Life, VIII | prayer. At one time I had great comfort in sermons, at another
180 Life, VIII | I sought for help, took great pains; but it must be that
181 Life, IX | any more.~2. I had a very great devotion to the glorious
182 Life, IX | was saying; only He did great things for me, in that He
183 Life, IX | believe that this was of great service to me, because I
184 Life, IX | without ./. meditation, make great progress, because it is
185 Life, IX | attain to this involves great labour, except to those
186 Life, IX | them before. I had a very great devotion to St. Augustine,
187 Life, IX | sinner—for I used to find great comfort in those Saints
188 Life, IX | some time lost in tears, in great inward affliction and distress.
189 Life, IX | could live in torments so great: God be praised Who gave
190 Life, IX | believe that my soul obtained great strength from His Divine
191 Life, IX | others strive after with great labour, our Lord seems to
192 Life, IX | with the forgiveness of my great sins. When I saw that my
193 Life, IX | saw that my sins were so great, I never ventured deliberately
194 Life, IX | with me according to His great mercy—when He allowed
195 Life, IX | consolation, being at the time in great aridities. When I considered
196 Life, IX | after those two occasions of great compunction and sorrow of
197 Life, X | We Can Do Ourselves. The Great Importance of Understanding
198 Life, X | ingratitude towards God—the great things He has done for us—
199 Life, X | seeing itself weeping for so great a Lord. I am not surprised;
200 Life, X | which is, however, very great. And in truth, in the beginning,
201 Life, X | the world, because of the great gain it brings us. And what
202 Life, X | think ourselves incapable of great blessings, if we begin to
203 Life, X | the courage necessary for great things who does not know
204 Life, X | real abhorrence of, with great detachment from, all earthly
205 Life, X | he seek after the other great virtues to which the perfect
206 Life, X | publication will give me great comfort.~11. But as to that
207 Life, X | were not so, I should have great scruples, except in declaring
208 Life, X | discussed the matter with men of great learning, with persons who
209 Life, XI | much. It is a dignity so great, that I have a strange joy
210 Life, XI | at once in a dignity so great, seeing that the attaining
211 Life, XI | is so precious but at a great cost, so neither do we perfectly
212 Life, XI | there is nothing by which so great a good can be procured in
213 Life, XI | and it is a resolution of great merit; but we very often
214 Life, XI | but we very often take great care not to be in want,
215 Life, XI | the world.~6. He showeth great mercy unto him to whom He
216 Life, XI | a little, but of a very great, resolution, and great grace
217 Life, XI | very great, resolution, and great grace from God, to save
218 Life, XI | recollected, and this is a great labour, because the senses
219 Life, XI | disgust, dislike, and so great an unwillingness to go to
220 Life, XI | some gain by a labour so great as that of lowering the
221 Life, XI | in the garden of so ./. great an Emperor; and as he knows
222 Life, XI | know these labours are very great, and require, I think, greater
223 Life, XI | not leave them without a great recompense, even in this
224 Life, XI | He intrusts them with His great treasures. I believe it
225 Life, XI | afterwards are of a dignity so great, that He will have us by
226 Life, XI | has already travelled a great part of the road. Let that
227 Life, XI | upon it, because it is of great importance to them that
228 Life, XI | is owing, I believe, in great measure, to their not having
229 Life, XI | indisposition—I have had very great experience in the matter,
230 Life, XI | Altogether, experience is a great matter, and it makes us
231 Life, XI | is sweet;176 and it is of great importance that the soul
232 Life, XI | it matters not; it is of great importance that no one should
233 Life, XII | then left desolate and in great aridity. As the foundation
234 Life, XII | glory, or unto God and His great wisdom. I never did this
235 Life, XII | learning, in my opinion, is a great treasury in the matter of
236 Life, XII | beginning, and had made great progress. This is the reason
237 Life, XII | understood, there is no great humility in this; and, if
238 Life, XII | that my dulness was so great, that I derived no advantage
239 Life, XII | repeat my advice: it is of great moment not to raise our
240 Life, XIII | throughout. We must have great confidence; because it is
241 Life, XIII | I am astonished at the great things done on this road
242 Life, XIII | encouraging oneself to undertake great things, though we may not
243 Life, XIII | do nothing. This was of great service to me. So also was
244 Life, XIII | first resolutions are a great matter—although it is
245 Life, XIII | because Satan, I believe, does great harm; for he hinders those
246 Life, XIII | give us as much trouble as great and important matters will
247 Life, XIII | not attain more quickly to great perfection; for our Lord
248 Life, XIII | ease and comforts. It is of great importance not to let our
249 Life, XIII | not be right, except with great discretion and with much
250 Life, XIII | hand, they heard me say great things of the blessedness
251 Life, XIII | may be, his gain must be great, if it prevail in a religious
252 Life, XIII | the evil I did was so very great! And thus, during many years,
253 Life, XIII | 13. There is another great inconvenience in addition
254 Life, XIII | soul. This is a point of great importance.~14. There is
255 Life, XIII | of perfection, and of a great zeal for God. I am not speaking
256 Life, XIII | others, and with our own great sins cover our eyes, so
257 Life, XIII | once, we shall acquire one great virtue—we shall look upon
258 Life, XIII | them; they will furnish a great support for the life of
259 Life, XIII | sources out of which came the great dolours and the bitter anguish
260 Life, XIII | for there is no soul so great a giant on this road but
261 Life, XIII | many times, because of its great importance—for among all
262 Life, XIII | abashed in the presence of so great a King, and sees how little
263 Life, XIII | how little it pays of the great debt it owes Him—why should
264 Life, XIII | 24. So, then, it is of great consequence that the director
265 Life, XIII | learned man, it is a very great matter. But if these three
266 Life, XIII | with prayer. Learning is a great thing, for it teaches us
267 Life, XIII | not a learned man, he is a great hindrance. It will help
268 Life, XIII | one director will make a great mistake, if he is in religion,
269 Life, XIII | persons who, by labours so great, have attained to the truth,
270 Life, XIII | religious life, which is great, together with its penances,
271 Life, XIII | Cross. I think it would be a great evil for any one to lose
272 Life, XIII | evil for any one to lose so great a good by his own fault.
273 Life, XIII | above the necessity of such great hardships. Blessed be Thou,
274 Life, XIII | his prayer, he will find great advantage; and this way
275 Life, XIII | this way of prayer brings great advantages with it—at
276 Life, XIV | capable of the fruition of so great a good; nevertheless, it
277 Life, XIV | not grant it. God, in His great mercy, will have the soul
278 Life, XIV | which is manifested in the great joy, inward and outward,
279 Life, XIV | itself as in a picture is a great comfort; and then it sees
280 Life, XIV | of what it has to do is a great blessing for it, so that
281 Life, XIV | And thus I think it a very great advantage to be in this
282 Life, XIV | my life,—it was to me a great joy to consider my soul
283 Life, XIV(206) | these words, and they throw great light on the text: "Sunt

287 Life, XIV | so many favours, and such great demonstrations of the love

293 Life, XV | peace, attended with very great joy and repose of the faculties,
294 Life, XV | our part.~4. And it is of great importance for the soul
295 Life, XV | as this to understand the great dignity of its state, the
296 Life, XV | dignity of its state, the great grace given it by our Lord,
297 Life, XV | possible to ./. forsake so great a good otherwise than through
298 Life, XV | His Majesty has given so great a grace—the attainment
299 Life, XV | hate the way by which so great a good was obtained. I address
300 Life, XV | about by ourselves, produces great results. A person of experience,
301 Life, XV | slight it may be, causes a great crackling; and if men do
302 Life, XV | is the beginning of the great fire, which sends forth—
303 Life, XV | His having chosen it for great things, if it will prepare
304 Life, XV | to receive them. It is a great gift, much too great for
305 Life, XV | is a great gift, much too great for me to be able to speak
306 Life, XV | to speak of it. It is a great sorrow to me; because, as
307 Life, XV | our own efforts are only great logs of wood, laid on without
308 Life, XV | why God should grant us so great a grace, and to be aware
309 Life, XV | could not fail to be of great use to them, both before
310 Life, XV | whom I am one. Charity is a great thing; and so always is
311 Life, XV | His Majesty; for it is a great help. But in the eyes of
312 Life, XV | it can be done only with great pain.~15. I believe myself
313 Life, XV | insisted upon it that ./. the great affair of souls is, when
314 Life, XV | aiming.~18. It is a very great matter to have this always
315 Life, XV | blessings to be gained are great,—and that is why I recommend

356 Life, XVIII | give themselves up with great readiness, in order to be
357 Life, XVIII | communed with us: this was a great comfort to me.~21. It is
358 Life, XIX | Even If They Fall. The Great Calamity of Going Back.~
359 Life, XIX | is over, an exceedingly great tenderness; so much so,
360 Life, XIX | burn the more, gives it great delight. It seems as if
361 Life, XIX | pieces for God, it would be a great consolation to it. This
362 Life, XIX | for retaining this grace, great beyond all measure, has
363 Life, XIX | then, together with the great mercy of God, in great distinctness;
364 Life, XIX | the great mercy of God, in great distinctness; and it is
365 Life, XIX | it be well broken up by great detachment from all self-interest,
366 Life, XIX | ungrateful soil, unfitted for so great a grace,—it will be parched
367 Life, XIX | I wish I was a person of great authority, that people might
368 Life, XIX | there ever blindness so great as this? How well Satan
369 Life, XIX | amazed at compassion so great and mercy so surpassing,
370 Life, XIX | recompense for treachery so great as mine, in that I was always
371 Life, XIX | is evidence enough of His great compassions, that He has
372 Life, XIX | there ever blindness so great as mine? Where could I think
373 Life, XIX | that my fall might not be great!259~16. I make the sign
374 Life, XIX | think I ever escaped so great a danger as this device
375 Life, XIX | that was an exceedingly great wickedness. Blessed be Thou,
376 Life, XIX | time in amusing myself, in great danger of falling into sin,
377 Life, XIX | soul, though it may receive great graces from God in prayer,
378 Life, XIX | spiritual life, we have great need of a director, and
379 Life, XX | suppose that the cloud of His great Majesty is here raining
380 Life, XX | giving Him thanks for this great mercy, drawing near to Him
381 Life, XX | Occasionally I was able, by great efforts, to make a slight
382 Life, XX | feast of our house, some great ladies being present,—
383 Life, XX | weary of living under such great restraint, and because His
384 Life, XX | some resistance, as if a great force beneath my feet lifted
385 Life, XX | ground to pieces; for it is a great struggle, and, in short,
386 Life, XX | The effects of rapture are great: one is that the mighty
387 Life, XX | confess that it threw me into great fear, very great indeed
388 Life, XX | me into great fear, very great indeed at first; for when
389 Life, XX | after itself, and that with great sweetness, if unresisted,
390 Life, XX | stand upright,272 and a great fear comes upon me of offending
391 Life, XX | bound up in exceedingly great love, which is acquired
392 Life, XX | Him, who, we see, bears so great a love to a worm so vile,
393 Life, XX | through our sins, which are so great.~10. Rapture leaves behind
394 Life, XX | very much to explain this great pain, and I believe I shall
395 Life, XX | speak later on274 of the great shocks I used to feel when
396 Life, XX | agony carries with it so great a joy, that I know of nothing
397 Life, XX | though the pain be so very great, that I can scarcely endure
398 Life, XX | of purgatory, nor of the great sins I have committed, and
399 Life, XX | in danger of death, in my great sickness and infirmities,
400 Life, XX | say that this pain is as great as any,—so the desire
401 Life, XX | perfectly that this pain was a great grace; but I was much more
402 Life, XX | heard and seen were at a great distance, far away.~24.
403 Life, XX | that experience is not very great, it may be, perhaps, that
404 Life, XX | stronger; for it is something great that is given to the soul
405 Life, XX | they did not, I should have great doubts about their being
406 Life, XX | came to possess so great a good; but it clearly perceives
407 Life, XX | clearly perceives the very great blessing which every one
408 Life, XX | cobwebs that cover it, and its great faults, but also the specks
409 Life, XXI | for this, rather than for great dominions! How justice would
410 Life, XXI | we see with our eyes the great delusion wherein we are
411 Life, XXI | progress of the former, and the great progress of the latter,
412 Life, XXI | attain to perfection and great detachment with much labour;
413 Life, XXI | the progress it makes is great. When those who have to
414 Life, XXI | which God showed me mercy so great, my wretchedness came to
415 Life, XXI | True revelations—the great gifts and visions—come
416 Life, XXI | please His Majesty that the great munificence with which He
417 Life, XXII | it, and the joy of it is great. And so, because I was conscious
418 Life, XXII | might clearly perceive how great my delusion was, and also
419 Life, XXII | and do not attain to very great liberty of spirit.~6. It
420 Life, XXII | shall not see Him in His great weariness—scourged, streaming
421 Life, XXII | meditate on sufferings so great as were those He underwent.
422 Life, XXII | if He is to give us His great graces, everything must
423 Life, XXII | Majesty reveal to us His great secrets.~10. So, then, I
424 Life, XXII | I had heard this of some great Saints given to contemplation,
425 Life, XXII | when the soul has made very great progress; for until then
426 Life, XXII | itself to be.~13. It is a great matter for us to have our
427 Life, XXII | appearance a mere nothing, does a great deal of harm to those who
428 Life, XXII | embrace the cross is the great thing. The Lord of all consolation
429 Life, XXII | their efforts merited so great a blessing!~18. I am not
430 Life, XXII | they should not stand with great reverence in the presence
431 Life, XXII | graces upon us, and also how great that love is which our Lord
432 Life, XXII | be easy, and we shall do great things in a very short time,
433 Life, XXII | that love,—He knows the great need we have of it,—for
434 Life, XXII | bestow upon a soul a grace so great as this of perfect contemplation,
435 Life, XXII | who receives a grace so great ought never more to seek
436 Life, XXIII | women have fallen into great delusions and deceits of
437 Life, XXIII | sweetness which I felt were so great, and very often beyond my
438 Life, XXIII | Was there ever delusion so great as mine, O my God, when
439 Life, XXIII | prayer—that this must be a great blessing, or a very great
440 Life, XXIII | great blessing, or a very great evil; for I understood perfectly
441 Life, XXIII | alone to a perfection so great. I had certain attachments
442 Life, XXIII | through him, because of his great gifts, which, though his
443 Life, XXIII | lie idle. He is a man of great sense, and very gentle with
444 Life, XXIII | He directs it all to the great good of those souls with
445 Life, XXIII | admitted. His wife is so great a servant of God, and so
446 Life, XXIII | communication with another great servant of God, married
447 Life, XXIII | ecclesiastic I speak of, who was so great a servant of God, and his
448 Life, XXIII | servant of God, and his great friend, should come to speak
449 Life, XXIII | imperfections. O humility! what great blessings thou bringest
450 Life, XXIII | my state, it was a very great fault to be subject to them.~
451 Life, XXIII | 12. When he found out my great imperfections, they might
452 Life, XXIII | obtain light from him, the great graces which God had bestowed
453 Life, XXIII | given to people who had made great progress, and led mortified
454 Life, XXIII | afraid, on account of my great sins, that God might leave
455 Life, XXIII | drowned. This is a very great trial, and I have gone through
456 Life, XXIII | affliction to be borne is great, and caution is necessary,
457 Life, XXIII | women,—for our weakness is great,—and much evil may be
458 Life, XXIII | befallen me, for I was in great fear and dread; and as I
459 Life, XXIII | all this did not do me a great deal of harm.~16. Then,
460 Life, XXIII | two servants of God, with great charity and affection, considered
461 Life, XXIII | I was waiting for it in great dread, having begged many
462 Life, XXIII | the nobleman came to me in great distress, and said that,
463 Life, XXIII | I was in,—and all with great clearness: God would, in
464 Life, XXIII | that father; for I was in great danger, if I had no one
465 Life, XXIII | Being in an oratory in great affliction, not knowing
466 Life, XXIII | who love Him. This gave me great consolation. I began to
467 Life, XXIII | servant of God347 and he was a great servant of His, and very
468 Life, XXIV | matter hitherto because of my great infirmities. The holy man
469 Life, XXIV | thought that would be a great evil, and that they would
470 Life, XXIV | advice, as one who had made great progress himself; for experience
471 Life, XXIV | power,—and that power was great.~ ./. 5. At this time, they
472 Life, XXIV | commotion of my spirit was great, and these words were uttered
473 Life, XXIV | other hand, they gave me great comfort, which, when I had
474 Life, XXIV | forth, I have had courage so great as to leave all things for
475 Life, XXIV | the pain it gave me was so great that I abandoned the attempt,
476 Life, XXIV | to his advice. It did a great deal of good to those with
477 Life, XXV | years,358 because of the great fear I was in: and even
478 Life, XXV | but the experience must be great. I should like to explain
479 Life, XXV | commending a matter to God with great love and earnestness may
480 Life, XXV | this is, because there is a great ./. difference between
481 Life, XXV | as we do to a person of great holiness, learning, or authority,
482 Life, XXV | proceed occasionally in such great majesty that, without our
483 Life, XXV | locutions, which would be a great sin, and say that it hears
484 Life, XXV | Satan. Over and above the great aridity which remains in
485 Life, XXV | permission, I fell into great temptations and travail
486 Life, XXV | us to proceed always with great caution; for those persons
487 Life, XXV | soul does not discern this great strength in itself, and
488 Life, XXV | is conscious of no harm, great harm may by degrees ensue;
489 Life, XXV | many persons in whom I had great confidence, and with good
490 Life, XXV | I think,—and all very great servants of God. It is true,
491 Life, XXV | necessities; for they had great affection for me, and were
492 Life, XXV | less alone.~19. I was in great fear myself, as I have just
493 Life, XXV | never before in distress so great. I was in this state for
494 Life, XXV | tears, where for a long time great dryness seems to have prevailed;
495 Life, XXV | we ought to hate,—do us great harm. We ourselves put weapons
496 Life, XXV | defend ourselves. It is a great pity. But if, for the love
497 Life, XXV | those people who have so great a fear of the devil, than
498 Life, XXV | spent some years of such great anxiety, that even now I
499 Life, XXVI | by the help of certain great signs, whether it loves
500 Life, XXVI | danger in this, but rather great profit. This is what our
