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 537. Each sister will have a separate cell, but life will be

communal as regards prayer, meals, and recreation. Each nun, after her profession, will no longer see the world, even through

a grill, as this will be covered with a dark cloth, and even the conversations will be strictly

limited. She will be as if dead, not understood by the world and not understanding the world.

She is to stand between heaven

and earth, begging God constantly for mercy on the world, and that priests be empowered,

so that their words be not empty, and that they, in their extraordinary dignity, and so

exposed to risks, might keep themselves completely stainless.

Though these souls will not be numerous, they will be heroic souls.

There will be no room for cowardly or effeminate souls.

There will be no distinction between the sisters, no mothers, no reverence, no venerables,

but all will be equal, even though there might be great differences in their parentage.
