Quote #7
She prayed, "No, beloved Lord Jesus, do not chastise any creature for me. You well know, Lord, that I desire no vengeance, but I ask mercy and grace for all men if it be your will to grant it." (I.64.198)
Kempe's not interested in payback, no matter how bad things get. Her goal is the salvation of the world, not just her own personal spiritual happiness. That's quite extraordinary, really, given her experiences in the real world. In this, she's living out her understanding of Christ's sacrifice and is willing to suffer shame in exchange for spiritual merit.
Quote #8
Then she saw his mother falling down in a swoon before her son, saying to him, 'Alas, my dear son, how shall I suffer this sorrow, and have no joy in all this world but you alone?" (I.79.228)
Kempe enters imaginatively into the Passion and death of Christ on more than one occasion. In this case, she suffers dramatically not simply because of Christ's suffering, but also because of his mother Mary's tears and isolation. Her compassionate response to the mother of Christ is perhaps a personal identification as parent (she does have fourteen children, even if she really never mentions them).
Quote #9
"And daughter, I thank you for the charity that you have towards all lecherous men and women, for you pray for them and weep many a tear for them, desiring that I should deliver them from sin." (I.84.245)
Kempe apparently spends a lot of time and tears on the souls of the lecherous—those would be people who have a problem controlling sexual desires. It's possible that Kempe herself suffered from this same sin before her conversion (maybe this is even the nature of the sin that she couldn't confess on the first page of her narrative), so she might have a personal link to those who still struggle with this problem.
