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 650.

Oh my Jesus, my Master and Director,

Strengthen and Enlighten me in these difficult moments of my life.

I expect no help from people. All my hope is in you.

I feel alone in the face of your demands, O Lord.

Despite the fears and qualms of my nature, I am fulfilling your holy will and desire to fulfill

it as faithfully as possible throughout my life and in my death.

Jesus, with you I can do all things.

Do with me as you please. Only give me your merciful heart, and that is enough for me.

O Jesus, my Lord, help me. Let what you have planned before all ages happen to me.

I am ready at each beckoning of your holy will,

enlighten my mind that I may know your will.

O God, you who pervade my soul,

you know that I desire nothing but your glory.

O divine will, you are the delight of my heart, the food of my soul, the light of my intellect,

the omnipotent strength of my will.

For when I unite myself with your will, O Lord, your power works through me and takes the place of my feeble will.

Each day I seek to carry out God's wishes.

O incomprehensible God, how great is your mercy.

It surpasses the combined understanding of all men and angels.
