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 Cavalaska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off,

beginning with diary number 1018.

I frequently feel that certain persons are praying for me.

I experience this suddenly in my soul,

but I do not always know which person is interceding for me. I also know when some

person has trouble because of something that has to do with me. Of this, I am inwardly aware,

even though the distance that separates us is very great. March 18, 1937, I have come to know that I have received a certain grace

that brings me into great intimacy and communion with the Lord. He gives me to know this by means of an

interior light. He allows me to know his greatness and holiness and how graciously he

lowers himself to me. He gives me an exclusive knowledge of his love for me and of how he is

lord of absolutely all things, and also of how he gives himself to a soul while suspending all the laws of nature.

He acts as he wills.

I understand the spiritual espousal of a soul with God, which has no exterior manifestation.
