| 0:00.0 | Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marriott 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 Kavalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with diary entry number 611. |
| 0:25.6 | Oh my Jesus, I implore you by the goodness of your most sweetheart. Let your anger diminish and show us your mercy. |
| 0:29.6 | May your wounds be our shield against your Father's justice. |
| 0:34.6 | I have come to know you, O God, as the source of mercy that vivifies and nourishes every soul. |
| 0:42.8 | Oh, how great is the mercy of the Lord. It surpasses all his other qualities. Mercy is the greatest |

| 2:11.6 | in Holy Communion than you did by that small transgression. |
| 2:16.6 | One day I saw a small chapel in which than you did by that small transgression. |
| 2:24.6 | One day I saw a small chapel in which six sisters were receiving Holy Communion from our confessor, Father Sopochko, who was wearing a surplus and a stole. |
