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 1218.

Fifth Day.

Today bring to me the souls of heretics and schismatics and immerse them in the ocean of my mercy.

During my bitter passion they tore at my body and heart, that is,

my church. As they return to unity with the church, my wounds heal, and in this way they

alleviate my passion. Most merciful Jesus, goodness itself, you do not refuse light to those who seek it of you.

Receive into the abode of your most compassionate heart the souls of heretics and schismatics.

Draw them by your light into the unity of the church, and do not let them escape from the abode of your most compassionate heart,

but bring it about that they too come to extol abode of your most compassionate heart, but bring it about that

they too come to extol the generosity of your mercy.

Even for those who have torn the garment of your unity, a fount of mercy flows from your heart.

The omnipotence of your mercy, O God, can lead these souls also out of error.

Eternal Father, turn your merciful gaze upon the souls of heretics and schismatics,
