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 950.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion

inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us that in difficult moments

we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence, submit ourselves

to your holy will, which is love and mercy itself.

O incomprehensible and limitless mercy divine, to extol and adore you worthily, who can? Supreme attribute of Almighty God,

you are the sweet hope for sinful man. Into one hymn yourselves unite, stars, earth, and sea,

and in one accord, thankfully and fervently sing of the incomprehensible

divine mercy.

My Jesus, you see that your holy will is everything to me.

It makes no difference to me what you do with me.

You command me to set to work, and I begin calmly,

although I know that I am incapable of it. Through your representatives, you order me to wait,

so I wait patiently. You fill my soul with enthusiasm, but you do not make it possible for me to act.

You attract me to yourself in heaven, and you leave me in this world.

You pour into my soul a great yearning for yourself, and you hide yourself from me.

I am dying of the desire to be united with you forever, and you do not let death come near me. O will of God, you are the nourishment and delight of my soul.

When I submit to the holy will of my God, a deep peace floods my soul. Oh, my Jesus, you do not

give a reward for the successful performance of a work, but for the goodwill and the labor
