The Lord said to St. Faustina: “In a chatty soul, I find no rest.
The incessant turmoil exhausts me, and in this tumult, the soul cannot hear my voice.”
God indeed speaks to every soul, but only a small number of them hear the murmur of His voice.
Today, many people are afraid of silence; afraid of having to face themselves. Noise enables us to forget our inner emptiness by pretending to fill it.
What an illusion! Poor heart, it cannot find true joy! Poor heart that does not know that only God can fill it, and which forgets its capacity to be filled!

Never enter into a [combative] discussion,” said the Mother of God! For instance, if someone curses God in your presence, pretend not to hear it.
Do not respond, do not argue back. But in your heart, bless the Lord with all your heart, say as many praises as you can.
Your blessing will cancel out the effect of the blasphemy, and God will be glorified.
