Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marrient 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 733. It sometimes happens while I am listening to the meditation

that one word puts me in very close union with the Lord, and I no longer know what Father is saying. I know that I am

close to the most merciful heart of Jesus. My whole spirit is entirely plunged in him,

and in one moment I learn more than during long hours of intellectual inquiry and meditation.

These are sudden lights which permit me to know things as God sees them, regarding matters

of both the interior and the exterior world.

I see that Jesus himself is acting in my soul during this retreat, and as for me, I try

only to be faithful to His grace. I have submitted my soul completely to the influence of God.

This mighty ruler of heaven has taken entire possession of my soul.

I feel that I am being lifted up above earth and heaven into the inner life of God,

where I come to know the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

but always in the unity of majesty.
