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

diary entry number 1160. When once I asked the Lord Jesus how he could tolerate so many

sins and crimes and not punish them, the Lord answered me, I have eternity for punishing these, and so I am prolonging

the time of mercy for the sake of sinners. But woe to them if they do not recognize this time

of my visitation. My daughter, secretary of my mercy, your duty is not only to write about and proclaim my mercy,

but also to beg for this grace for them so that they too may glorify my mercy.

Today my soul suffered such agony that I began to complain to the Lord Jesus.

Jesus, how can you leave me alone?

I cannot take even one step forward by myself.

You have taken my confessor away, and you yourself are hiding from me.

Surely you know, Jesus, that of myself I know nothing but how to waste your graces.

Jesus, you must arrange things so that Father Andrash will return.

But the anguish persisted.
