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 526. The 14th. This Thursday, when we were having nocturnal adoration, at first I could

not pray. A sort of dryness engulfed me. I could not meditate on Jesus's sorrowful passion. So I lay prostrate and offer the most sorrowful passion of the Lord Jesus to the Heavenly Father in reparation for the sins of all the world. When I got to my feet after this prayer and walked to my kneeler,

I suddenly saw Jesus next to it.

The Lord Jesus appeared as he was during the scourging.

In his hands he was holding a white garment, with which he clothed me,

and a cord with which he girded me, and he covered

me with a red cloak like the one he was clothed with during his passion, and a veil of the same

color, and he said to me, this is how you and your companions are to be clothed.

My life from birth to death on the cross will be the rule for you.

Fix your eyes upon me and live according to what you see.

I desire that you penetrate into my spirit more deeply and understand that I am meek and humble of heart.

On one occasion, I felt an urge to set to work and fulfill whatever God is demanding of me.
