Idle talk

 

One thing especially that makes Living in the Divine Will impossible is mundane, idle, vain, worldly conversation. Jesus says, “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 tries, as much as he can, to impress in others that which he feels within himself. On the other hand, on who talks much is not only empty of God, but with his much talking, he tries to empty others of God.”
