Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marianfathers of the Immacquit Conception.

Thank you for joining us as we continue with our year-long journey, reading the diary of

St. Maria Faustina Kavalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning

with Diary Entry Number 445. Thursday, Nocturnal Adoration. When I came for Adoration,

an inner recollection took hold of me immediately, and I saw the Lord Jesus, tied to a pillar, stripped

of his clothes, and the scourging began immediately. I saw four men who took turns at striking

the Lord with scourges. My heart almost stopped at the sight of these tortures. The Lord

said to me, I suffer even greater pain than

that which you see. And Jesus gave me to know for what sins he subjected himself to the

scourging. These are sins of impurity. Oh, how dreadful was Jesus' moral suffering during the scourging.

Then Jesus said to me,

Look and see the human race in its present condition.

In an instant, I saw horrible things.

The executioners left Jesus and other people started scourging him. They seized the scourges and struck the Lord mercilessly.

These were priests, religious men and women, and high dignitaries of the Church, which surprised me greatly.
