Reflections from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska
Sunday, July 10 Lukewarm and Indifferent A Call to Humility and Honesty [These souls with whom I can do nothing] 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, 1717).
My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, help us to humbly and honestly recognize our own guilt. May we be open to correction from You and others. Help us to turn to You, Lord, with trust and repent when we sin. Help us to reach out to those who have lost their way or are lukewarm and indifferent to Your gifts.
