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 entry number 873. January 8th, on Friday morning, as I was going to the chapel to attend

Holy Mass, I suddenly saw a huge juniper tree on the pavement, and in it a horrible cat, who, looking angrily at me, blocked my way to the chapel.

One whisper of the name of Jesus dissipated all that.

I offered the whole day for dying sinners.

During Holy Mass, I felt the closeness of the Lord in a special way.

After Holy Communion, I turned my gaze with trust toward the Lord and told him, Jesus, I

so much desire to tell you something.

And the Lord looked at me with love and said, what is it that you desire

to tell me? Jesus, I beg you, by the inconceivable power of your mercy, that all the souls

who will die today escape the fire of hell, even if they have been the greatest sinners.

Today is Friday, the memorial of your

bitter agony on the cross. Because your mercy is inconceivable, the angels will not be surprised
