PROVERBS 30: 8–9
“Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘_Who is the Lord?’_ Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.”

Apr. 7. “If the enemy torments you, determined, say to him: “These are things that don’t belong to me. I don’t want to steal from anyone, not even from hell.”

_In the interior souls there cannot be disturbance._
“My daughter, in the interior souls there cannot be disturbance, and if it enters into them, it is because the soul goes outside of herself.
To do this is to act as her own executioner, because by going outside of herself, she clings to many things which do not regard nor belong to God; and sometimes, things which do not regard even the true good of the soul.
So, returning into herself and bringing things that are extraneous to her, she herself torments herself, and with this, she comes to make herself infirm.
Therefore, remain always within yourself and you will always be calm.”
Who can say with what clarity I understood this, and how I found truth in these words of Jesus?
