Saint Faustina wrote, “If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering.” What is Creator’s perspective?

We appreciate the intentions and the sentiment here, in associating her perspectives of what leads to holiness as the highest levels of attainment such that even the angels are in envy, but we can tell you that our perspective of what is of value, in becoming Christlike, is not to become a martyr with a life that ends in torture and death, nor to suffer unrelenting pain and deprivation many undergo for a lofty cause, seeing that as a necessary sacrifice needing to be made to prove one's devotion. But these are misguided. Suffering does not accomplish anything truly useful. In fact, it occupies the time and energy of the supplicant wanting to be raised up but, in fact, keeps them in a kind of circular habit of self-denial as an end goal when there are so many lofty and productive ways to use one's energy and talent to serve the self as well as others through opportunities for growth, learning, and expansion of possibilities in making one's corner of the world a better place—that is a holier and loftier achievement than finding ways to punish the self. We can tell you with authority that those in the angelic realm do not envy the physical suffering and torment of those beings incarnated on the Earth at present. They recoil from the very idea of it because it is so unlike the existence of light beings, who are on a much higher vibration and living in joy, having all they need for a full and rich existence. This is quite a contrast to the difficulties of human beings in the physical having to eke out a living, often under trying circumstances and cultural challenges of all kinds getting in their way and dragging them down by overwhelming them with adversity.
