✞ Jesus hides to see what the soul does.
Volume 7 — Entry 71
Continuing in my usual state, my lovable Jesus made Himself seen for just a little, and told me: "My daughter, one who talks much shows that he is empty in his interior, while one who is filled with God, finding more taste in his interior, does not want to lose that taste; he hardly speaks and only out of necessity. And even while speaking, he never departs from his interior, and he tries, as much as he can, to impress in others that which he feels within himself. On the other hand, one who talks much is not only empty of God, but with his much talking, he tries to empty others of God."
