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 No. 788. As I was conversing with the hidden God, he gave me to see and understand

that I should not be reflecting so much and building up fear of the difficulties which I might

encounter. Know that I am with you. I bring about the difficulties and I overcome them.

In one instant I can change a hostile disposition to one which is favorable to this cause.

The Lord explained many things to me in today's dialogue, although I am not putting everything

in writing.

Always, and in all circumstances, yield the first place to others, especially during recreation,

listen quietly, without interrupting, even if someone tells me the same thing ten times.

I will never ask questions about something that

interests me very much. Resolution. Still the same, namely to unite myself with the merciful Christ.

General resolution, interior calm, silence.

Hide me, Jesus, in the depths of your mercy,

and then let my neighbor judge me as he pleases.

I must never speak of my own experiences.

In suffering, I must seek relief in prayer. In doubts, even the smallest, I must seek only the advice of my confessor.

I must always have a heart which is open to receive the sufferings of others

and drown my own sufferings in the divine heart,

so that they would not be noticed on the outside

insofar as possible. I must always strive for equanimity, no matter how stormy the circumstances
