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 590.

When I receive Holy Communion, I entreat and beg the Savior to heal my tongue so that I may

never fail in love of neighbor.

Jesus, you know how ardently I desire to hide so that no one may know me but your sweetest heart.

I want to be a tiny violet, hidden in the grass, unknown in a magnificent, enclosed garden, in which beautiful lilies and roses

grow. The beautiful rose and the lovely lily can be seen from afar, but in order to see a little

violent, one has to bend low, only its scent gives it away. Oh, how happy I am to be able to hide myself in this way.

O my divine bridegroom, the flower of my heart and the scent of my pure love are for you. My soul has drowned

itself in you, eternal God. From the moment when you yourself

drew me to yourself, O my Jesus, the more I have known you, the more ardently I have desired you.

I learned in the heart of Jesus that in heaven itself there is a heaven to which not all but only chosen souls have access.

Incomprehensible is the happiness in which the soul will be immersed.
