| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception. |
| 0:05.0 | Thank you for joining us as we continue with our year-long journey, |
| 0:09.0 | reading the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kavalska from beginning to end. |
| 0:14.0 | Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with Diary Entry Number 537. |
| 0:20.0 | Each sister will have a separate cell, but life will be communal as regards prayer, meals, and recreation. |
| 0:29.6 | Each nun, after her profession, will no longer see the world, even through a grill, |
| 0:34.6 | as this will be covered with a dark cloth, and even the conversations |
| 0:39.7 | will be strictly limited. |
| 0:42.2 | She will be as if dead, not understood by the world and not understanding the world. |
| 0:48.2 | She is to stand between heaven and earth, begging God constantly for mercy on the world, and that priests be empowered so that their |

| 1:36.3 | Their habit will be like that worn by Jesus during his passion, |
| 1:41.3 | and they will not simply wear the robe he wore, they must also seal themselves |
| 1:47.0 | with the marks he bore, suffering, and scorn. Each one will strive for the greatest self-denial |
| 1:55.0 | and have a love of humility, and she who will distinguish herself most in this latter virtue will be the one who is capable of leading |
| 2:04.5 | the others. As God has made us sharers in his mercy, and even more than that, dispensers of that |
| 2:13.0 | mercy, we should therefore have great love for each soul, beginning with the elect and ending with the soul that does not yet know God. |
| 2:23.6 | By prayer and mortification, we will make our way to the most uncivilized countries, paving the way for the missionaries. |
