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 1180,80 June July 15th

1937

Once I learned that I was to be transferred to another house

My knowledge of this was purely interior

At the same time I heard a voice in my soul

Do not be afraid, my daughter.

It is my will that you should remain here.

Human plans will be thwarted, since they must conform to my will.

When I was close to the Lord, he said to me,

Why are you afraid to begin the work which I have commanded you

to carry out? I answered, why do you leave me on my own at such times, Jesus, and why do I not feel

your presence? My daughter, even though you do not perceive me in the most secret depths of your heart, you

still cannot say that I am not there.

I only remove from you the awareness of my presence, and that you should not be an obstacle

to the carrying out of my will. I do this to achieve my unfathomable

ends, which you will know of later on. My daughter, no without doubt, and once and for all,

that only mortal sin drives me out of a soul, and nothing else.

Today the Lord said to me, my daughter, my pleasure and delight,

nothing will stop me from granting you graces.
