Hello, I Father Joe Roche of the Marianth 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 Kowalska from beginning to end.

Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with Diary Entry Number 9-11.

On one occasion, God's presence pervaded my whole book. Beginning with Diary Entry Number 9-11.

On one occasion, God's presence pervaded my whole being and my mind was mysteriously enlightened

in respect to his essence.

He allowed me to understand his interior life.

In spirit, I saw the three divine persons, but their essence was one. He is one

and one only, but in three persons. None of them is either greater or smaller. There is no

difference in either beauty or sanctity, for they are one. They are absolutely one. His love

transported me into this knowledge and united me with himself. When I was united to one,

I was equally united to the second and to the third in such a way that when we are united with one,

by that very fact we are equally united to the two persons in the same way as with the one.

Their will is one, one God, though in three persons. When one of the three persons communicates with a soul,

by the power of that one will, it finds itself united with the three persons and is inundated

in the happiness flowing from the most holy Trinity, the same happiness that nourishes the saints.

This same happiness that streams from the Most Holy Trinity makes all creation happy.

From it springs that life which vivifies and bestows all life, which takes its beginning from him.

In these moments my soul experienced such great divine delights that I find this difficult to express.

Then I heard the following words spoken thus.

I want you to be my spouse.
