Saint Faustina wrote in her diary in 1938 the following conversation with Jesus. His words to Saint Faustina then speak to us today. Pray ardently for souls who are jealous and angry.
Today, I was talking with the Lord, and He said to me, There are souls with whom I
can do nothing. They are souls that are continuously observing others, but know
nothing of what is going on within their own selves. They talk about others
continually, even during times of grand silence, which is reserved for speaking only
with Me. Poor souls, they do not hear My words; their interior remains empty. They
do not look for Me within their own hearts, but in idle talk, where I am never to be
found. They sense their emptiness, but they do not recognize their own guilt, while
souls in whom I reign completely are a constant source of remorse to them. Instead of
correcting themselves, their hearts swell with envy, and if they do not come to their
senses, they plunge in even deeper. A heart, which thus far is envious, now begins to
be filled with hate. And they are already at the edge of the precipice. They are jealous
of my gifts in other souls, but they themselves are unable and unwilling to accept
them. (Diary entry 1717)
