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 Kovalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with Diary Entry Number 811.

When I entered my solitude, I heard these words.

At the hour of their death I defend as my own glory every soul that will say this chaplet, or when others say it

for a dying person, the pardon is the same. When this chaplet is said by the bedside

of a dying person, God's anger is placated, unfathomable mercy envelopes the soul, and the very depths of my tender mercy are moved

for the sake of the sorrowful passion of my son. Oh, if only everyone realized how great the Lord's

mercy is, and how much we all need that mercy, especially at that crucial hour.

Today I have fought a battle with the spirits of darkness over one soul. How terribly Satan hates

God's mercy. I see how he opposes this whole work. O merciful Jesus, stretched out on the cross, be mindful of the hour of our death.

O most merciful heart of Jesus, opened with a lance, shelter me at the last moment of my life.

O blood and water, which gushed forth from the heart of Jesus as a fount of unfathomable

mercy for me at the hour of my death, O dying Jesus, hostage of mercy, avert the divine wrath

at the hour of my death. December 12, 1936.
