Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

Thank you for joining us as we continue with our year-long journey,

reading the diary of St. Maria Faustina Kovalska from beginning to end.

Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with diary entry number 522.

The mercy of the Lord Lord I will sing forever.

Divine Mercy in My Soul

Saint Maria Faustina Diary Notebook 2

Jesus, Mary and Joseph The mercy of the Lord I will sing forever, before all the people will I sing it,

for it is the Lord's greatest attribute, and for us an unending miracle.

You gush forth from the divine Trinity, but from one single womb filled with love.

The mercy of the Lord will be revealed in the soul, in all its fullness when the veil falls.

From the fountain of your mercy, O Lord, flows all happiness and love.

And thus all creatures and the whole of creation sing out in ecstasy a song of mercy.

The bowels of God's mercy are opened for us through the life of Jesus stretched on the cross.

O sinner, you must not doubt or despair, but trust in mercy, for you also can become holy.

Two streams in the form of rays have gushed forth from the heart of Jesus, not for angels, nor cherubim,

nor seraphim, but for the salvation of sinful man.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, O will of God, be my love.

My Jesus, you know that of myself I would not have written a single letter,

and if I do write, it is only because of a clear command of holy obedience.

God and souls, St. Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament.

O Jesus, hidden God, my heart perceives you, though veils hide you. You know that I love you.
