Summary
"To conquer interior temptations with the thought of the presence of God," St. Faustina writes. Listen in as Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, reads from this modern spiritual classic.
The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ. For anyone who may think the Diary is too thick and formidable, Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, has the solution. Join him for a few minutes each day as he reads from the Diary and offers commentary. Over the span of one year, you will have “read" the Diary, beginning to end, and absorbed its rich teachings.

| 0:05.0 | Thank you for joining us as we continue with our year-long journey, |

| 0:14.0 | Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with diary entry number 93, the vow of chastity. |

| 0:45.3 | between the vow and the virtue. |
| 0:48.3 | Is every bad thought a sin? |
| 0:51.3 | No, every bad thought is not a sin. It becomes so only when the acquiescence |
| 0:57.0 | of the will and consent are joined to the consideration of the mind. Is there anything over and above |
| 1:05.2 | sins against chastity which is detrimental to the virtue? Lack of custody of the senses, of the imagination, |

| 1:25.6 | To conquer interior temptations with the thought of the |
| 1:30.4 | presence of God, and moreover to fight without fear, and for exterior temptations to avoid |

| 1:48.8 | to remove temptations promptly, to remove oneself from all and especially particular |
