Note 14 — Chapter IX · PSYCHO-PHYSICAL AND TEMPERAMENTAL QUESTIONS

Vita, pp. 113b, 149c; 143b, 152c; 138b, 155a. Note the parallels in St. Teresa’s Life, written by herself, tr. D. Lewis, ed. 1888. P. 234: “When these (spiritual) impetuosities are not very violent, the soul seeks relief through certain penances; the painfulness of which, and even the shedding of blood, are no more felt than if the body were dead.” P. 30: “I was unable to move either arm or foot, or hand or head, unless others moved me. I could move, however, I think, one finger of my right hand.” P. 31: “I was paralytic, though getting better, for about three years.”
