Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marrient 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 1126.

Oh, how sweet it is to live in a convent among sisters, but I must not forget that these angels are in human bodies.

On one occasion, I saw Satan hurrying about and looking for someone among the sisters, but he could find no one.

I felt an interior inspiration to command him in the name of God to confess to me what he was

looking for among the sisters, and he confessed, though unwillingly.

I am looking for idle sisters, idle souls. See Syrac 3328 and

Proverbs 12.11. When I commanded him again in the name of God to tell me to which souls

in religious life he has the easiest access, he said again, unwillingly, to lazy and idle souls.

I took note of the fact that, at present, there were no such souls in this house.

Let the toiling and tired souls rejoice.

May 22nd, 1937. The heat is so intense today that it is difficult to bear. We are all

thirsting for rain, and still it does not come. For several days the sky has been overcast, but there is no rain.

When I looked at the plants thirsting for the rain, I was moved with pity,

and I decided to say the chaplet until the Lord would send us rain.

Before supper, the sky covered over with clouds, and a heavy rain fell on the earth.

I had been saying this prayer without interruption for three hours, and the Lord let me know that

everything can be obtained by means of this prayer.

May 23rd, the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity.

During Holy Mass, I found myself suddenly united with the Most Holy Trinity.

I recognized His Majesty and Greatness.
