Hello, I've 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 818. December 16, 1936. I have offered this day for Russia.

I have offered all my sufferings and prayers for that poor country.

After Holy Communion, Jesus said to me,

I cannot suffer that country any longer.

Do not tie my hands, my daughter.

I understood that if it had not been for the prayers of souls that are pleasing to God, the whole nation would have already been reduced to nothingness.

Oh, how I suffer for that nation which has banished God from its borders.

O inexhaustible spring of divine mercy, pour yourself out upon us.

Your goodness knows no limits.

Confirm, O Lord, the power of your mercy over the abyss of my misery,

for you have no limit to your mercies.

Wonderful and matchless is your mercy,

...
