[431] The “scintilla,” “stilla,” and “immersion in the sweetness of Love”: Dialogo, p. 252a, b, c. In the Vita-proper “scintilla” is but once (and in a doubtful passage) so used, p. 148b; in the other passages “non una minima scintilla” means there “not a glimpse” of this or that, pp. 5c, 62a. “Stilla” of Blessedness, p. 119c; “goccia” of Love, pp. 94b-95c; “gocciola” of spiritual water (refreshment), p. 135b. “Ocean” and immersion therein, pp. 59b, 60b.

[457] Denzinger, Enchiridion Definitionum, ed. 1888, p. 178, No. 38: “Animae in Purgatorio non sunt securae de earum salute saltem omnes; nec probatum est, ullis aut rationibus aut Scripturis, ipsas esse extra statum merendi aut augendae charitatis.”

[466] I derive all these titles from the Documents in the Curia Arcivescovile of Genoa already referred to. The Editions 1568, 1601, I have examined in the Ambrosian Library, Milan.

[467] The Bull is given in full by Fr. Sticker: Acta Sanctorum, Sept., Vol. V, ed. 1866, pp. 181 F-188 A. See there, p. 183 B, E. In the former passage the double description is rightly attributed to the same event; and the contradiction between them is ably eliminated by the Bull’s words: “She seemed to herself to behold the image of the suffering Saviour” (instead of Vita, p. 5b, “affixed to the Cross”); and, in the latter passage, the description of her poverty is kept free from the extravagances of the Dialogo, pp. 220c, 221c.
