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 826. This morning I had an adventure. My watch had stopped and I did not

know when to get up, and I thought of what a misfortune it would be to miss Holy Communion.

It was still dark, so I had no way of knowing whether it was time to get up.

I dressed, made my meditation, and went to the chapel,

but everything was still locked, and silence reigned everywhere.

I steeped myself in prayer, especially for the sick. I now see how much the sick

have need of prayer. Finally, the chapel was opened. I found it difficult to pray because I was

already feeling very exhausted, and immediately after Holy Communion, I returned to my room.

Then I saw the Lord Lord who said to me,

No, my daughter, that the ardor of your heart is pleasing to me. And just as your desire ardently

to become united with me in Holy Communion, so too do I desire to give myself holy to you, and as a reward for your

zeal, rest on my heart.
