At this time, my Provincial 763 Life, XXXV | any kind of martyrdom for God, I could not persuade myself 764 Life, XXXV | danger; and so I praised God that I was not then in my 765 Life, XXXV | trouble. All my service of God there was lip-service: why 766 Life, XXXV | had already told me to go, God having moved him as He had 767 Life, XXXV | was a person who feared God exceedingly,—and as I 768 Life, XXXV | and for the service of God.

Those servants of God who were in it were left 784 Life, XXXVI | altogether.

O my God, if I were to say in what 859 Life, XXXIX | to heaven, and cry unto God.596 I recollected well what 860 Life, XXXIX | can be relied on except God. In all my great trials, 861 Life, XXXIX | out of the true love of God; for though I might long 862 Life, XXXIX | these visions came from God or not, our Lord appeared, 863 Life, XXXIX | I must not imagine that God would ever allow the devil 864 Life, XXXIX | me the visions were from God, I should do wrong if I 865 Life, XXXIX | understand the mystery of One God and Three Persons with so 866 Life, XXXIX | greatness and marvels of God; and when I think of the 867 Life, XL | filled with, that grandeur of God which, on another occasion, 868 Life, XL | not tend to the service of God as vanity and lies. I cannot 869 Life, XL | with a new reverence for God; it gives me a notion of 870 Life, XL | not lead us nearer unto God. I also understood what 871 Life, XL | ways. How is this, O my God? how can it be that mercies 872 Life, XL | of where we are to seek God. The glorious St. Augustin,607 873 Life, XL | how all things are seen in God and how all things are comprehended 874 Life, XL | are not secret, and that God most justly resents them, 875 Life, XL | we have committed! O my God, I have been, oh, how blind! 876 Life, XL | angels, and was close unto God. I began to intercede with 877 Life, XL | asked by a person to pray God to let him know whether 878 Life, XL | would be for the service of God. After Communion our Lord 879 Life, XL | be very great servants of God.613 Our Lord said to me: " 880 Life, XL | I most heartily pray to God for. I say to Him sometimes, 881 Life, XL | nearer to the vision of God, in that another hour of 882 Life, XL | 29. Now, however,—to God be the glory!—though many 883 Life, XL | you, my father, pray to God that He would take me to 884 Rel, I(622) | § 2228. ~"1. The end God has in view is the drawing 885 Rel, I(622) | the withdrawing it from God. Our Lord never does anything 886 Rel, I(622) | be made to draw near unto God. All the visions and the 887 Rel, I(622) | person draw her nearer unto God, and make her more humble 888 Rel, I(622) | for is to do the will of God our Lord in all things.~" 889 Rel, I(622) | desires of being pleasing unto God, and of trampling on every 890 Rel, I(622) | whatever she shall ask of God, being good, she shall have. 891 Rel, I(622) | these operations are from God, they are always directed 892 Rel, I(622) | when she is absorbed in God, on fire with His love, 893 Rel, I(622) | commonly receives, her sense of God, her languishing with love, 894 Rel, I(622) | a trance when she hears God spoken of with devotion 895 Rel, I(622) | and all the servants of God upon earth, tell her that 896 Rel, I(622) | that it is any other than God who is working in her and 897 Rel, I(622) | and speaking to her.~"29. God has given her a most wonderfully 898 Rel, I(622) | continually reminding herself of God, and has a sense of His 899 Rel, I(622) | illumination in the things of God.~"33. It was said to her 900 Rel, I(622) | soul desirous of pleasing God had been so long deceived."~ 901 Rel, I | thinking of the things of God, but engaged in other matters, 902 Rel, I | fainting away of the soul for God, so that I have no control 903 Rel, I | me cry out and call upon God; and this comes upon me 904 Rel, I | comes from the vision of God, which comes by death, and 905 Rel, I | certain desires to serve God, with a vehemence so great 906 Rel, I | how great the good is that God will give us if we prepare 907 Rel, I | through its inability to serve God and my state624 in anything; 908 Rel, I | power whatever to serve God, I feel this pain in a way 909 Rel, I | and the consolation of God.~5. Again, it has happened, 910 Rel, I | submit ./. that I may serve God, and thus I offer up those 911 Rel, I | resolution never to offend God, not even venially. I would 912 Rel, I | face to ask anything of God our Lord, or to make my 913 Rel, I | loving and serving and seeing God, are not helped by any reflections, 914 Rel, I | excessive that, I repeat it, if God did not relieve them by 915 Rel, I | and drive me to pray to God and the saints to make them 916 Rel, I | but because I believe that God helps those who, for His 917 Rel, I | leave it all in the hands of God.630~17. This leaving in 918 Rel, I | leaving in the hands of God the supply of all I need 919 Rel, I | Vainglory631—glory, be to God!—so far as I know, there 920 Rel, I | that in these things which God sends me I have no part 921 Rel, I | myself; on the contrary, God makes me conscious of my 922 Rel, I | receive graces, and that God must give to others at once 923 Rel, I | life; and so I believe that God has led me along this way 924 Rel, I | even if I tried, pray to God for rest, or desire it; 925 Rel, I | that they have offended God; and if I dwell upon this 926 Rel, I | everybody is as anxious to serve God as I am. And herein God 927 Rel, I | God as I am. And herein God has been very gracious unto 928 Rel, I | constant dwelling in thought on God, is the ordinary state of 929 Rel, I | and such—glory be to God!—only at intervals demand 930 Rel, I | cannot think at all about God, neither do I know under 931 Rel, I | these impressions, only God has been so gracious unto 932 Rel, I | believe that it comes from God; for when I see what I once 933 Rel, I | the means of drawing me to God in His service, but of saving 934 Rel, I | Nor can I believe it of God, though I have deserved 935 Rel, I | fear that they are not from God, I being so wicked myself. 936 Rel, I | and my thoughts fixed on God, if all the learned and 937 Rel, I | and believed it was from God.637~29. However, I can think 938 Rel, I | believe this to be from God, I would never do anything, 939 Rel, II | since this was written; God has all this time protected 940 Rel, II | do it.~2. As to poverty, God seems to have wrought great 941 Rel, II | faith, that I do not think God will ever fail those who 942 Rel, II | and betake myself unto God.~3. I think I am much more 943 Rel, II | this I now see is a gift of God; for though I used to give 944 Rel, II | it that I might offer to God, as I learn by experience 945 Rel, II | nothing when I awake.~5. God is giving me more earnest 946 Rel, II | render the least service unto God; and thus on every side 947 Rel, II | the graces received from God, I find myself very much 948 Rel, II | not a penitential, life; God help me, as He can!~7. It 949 Rel, II | back on the graces which God has given me; I think I 950 Rel, II | endowed with such might that, God never failing me, I think 951 Rel, II | contradictions of these months,641 God gave me great courage; and 952 Rel, II | more so than usual, that God may find those who will 953 Rel, II | I do nothing but pray to God for such men, because I 954 Rel, II | true fervour of the love of God, will do more good than 955 Rel, II | clearly it was the pleasure of God that such progress should 956 Rel, II | place myself in the hands of God, and trust my desires; for 957 Rel, II | greatest oblation I make to God, as the highest service 958 Rel, II | understand of the grandeurs of God, and of the way He has shown 959 Rel, II | become recollected.~18. God so keeps me from offending 960 Rel, II | that the great power of God might be made manifest. 961 Rel, II | calm now, though, while God is leading me by this way, 962 Rel, III | dulness could understand, how God is Three and One; and thus 963 Rel, III | of the surpassing love of God for us, in that He forgives 964 Rel, III | Three Persons are but One God.
