Summary
"From today on you will do this easily; I shall strengthen you," St. Faustina writes. Listen in as Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, reads from this modern spiritual classic.
The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ. For anyone who may think the Diary is too thick and formidable, Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, has the solution. Join him for a few minutes each day as he reads from the Diary and offers commentary. Over the span of one year, you will have “read" the Diary, beginning to end, and absorbed its rich teachings.

| 0:56.3 | diary entry number 65. One time during the novitiate, when mother, directress, sent me to work |
| 1:05.8 | in the ward's kitchen, I was very upset because I could not manage the pots, which were very large. The most difficult |
| 1:12.8 | task for me was draining the potatoes, and sometimes I spilt half of them with the water. When I told |
| 1:19.4 | this to mother directress, she said that, with time, I would get used to it and gain the necessary |
| 1:24.8 | skill. Yet the task was not getting any easier as I was growing weaker |
| 1:29.5 | every day. So I would move away when it was time to drain the potatoes. The sisters noticed that I |
| 1:36.3 | avoided this task and were very much surprised. They did not know that I could not help in spite of all |
| 1:42.2 | my willingness to do this and not spare myself. |
| 1:46.0 | At noon, during the examination of conscience, I complained to God about my weakness. |
