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 No. 866. During Vespers, I heard these words. My daughter, I want to

repose in your heart because many souls have thrown me out of their hearts today, I have experienced sorrow unto death.

I try to comfort the Lord by offering him my love a thousand times over.

I felt within my soul a great disgust for sin.

My heart is steeped in continual bitterness because I want to go to you, Lord, into the fullness of life.

Oh Jesus, what a dreadful wilderness this life seems to me.

There is on this earth no nourishment for either my heart or my soul.

I suffer because of my longing for you, O Lord.

You have left me the sacred host, O Lord, but it inkindles in my soul an even greater longing for you,

O my Creator and eternal God.

Jesus, I yearn to become united with you. Dane to hear the size of your dearly beloved.

Oh, how I suffer, because I am still unable to be united with you.
