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

diary entry number 1136. When the procession from Borek came to our house, carrying him who was

to be reposed in our chapel, I heard a voice coming from the host. Here is my repose. During benediction,

Jesus gave me to know that soon a solemn moment would take place on this very spot. I am pleased

to rest in your heart, and nothing will stop me from granting you graces.

This greatness of God floods my soul and I drown in Him.

I lose myself in Him. I am melting away in Him.

May 30, 1937, I am dying of yearning for God today. This longing fills all my soul.

How very much I feel I am in exile. Oh, Jesus, when will the longed-for moment come? May 31st, My tormented soul finds aid nowhere but in you, O living host.

I place all my trust in your merciful heart.

I am waiting patiently for your word, O Lord.

O what pain it causes my heart when I see a nun who has not the religious spirit.

How can one be pleasing to God when one is inflated with pride and self-love under the pretense

of striving for God's glory, while in fact one is seeking one's own glory.
