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 Kavalska from beginning to end. Today, we take up from where we left off, beginning with diary entry

number 643. Quarterly Confession. Father Bukovsky. When some inner force urged me again

not to put off this matter, I was unable to find peace. I told the confessor, Father Bukovsky, that I should not wait any longer.

Father answered me, Sister, this is an illusion. The Lord Jesus cannot be demanding this. You have made your perpetual vows.

All this is an illusion. You are inventing some sort of heresy. And he was shouting at me,

almost at the top of his voice. I asked him whether all of this was an illusion, and he said

everything. Then please tell me what course I must take. Well, sister, you must not follow any

inspiration. You should get your mind off all of this. You should pay no

attention to what you hear in your soul and try to carry out your exterior duties well. Give no

thought to these things and put them completely out of your mind. I answered, good. Up to now,

I have been following my conscience, but now that you direct me, Father, to pay no heed to my interior, I will cease to do so.

Then he said, if the Lord Jesus tells you something again, please let me know, but you must take no action.

I answered very well, I will try to be obedient. I do not know why
