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 1463.

The Lord also gave me to know that many bishops were considering the question of this feast

as well as a certain layperson.

Some were enthusiastic about this work of God, while others regarded it with disbelief.

But in spite of everything, the result was greater glory for the work of God.

Mother Irene and Mother Mary Joseph were giving some kind of a report to these dignitaries,

but they were being questioned not so much about the work as about myself.

As regards the work itself, there was no doubt since the glory

of God was already being proclaimed. I feel much better today. I was glad I would be able

to meditate more during the holy hour. Then I heard a voice. You will not be in good health. Do not put off

the sacrament of penance because this displeases me. Pay little attention to the murmurs of

those around you. This surprised me because I am feeling better today, but I gave it no more thought.

When the sister switched off the light, I began the holy hour.

But after a while, something went wrong with my heart.

I suffered in silence until 11 o'clock.

But then I began to feel so bad that I woke up Sister N, probably Sister Fabiola, who is my roommate,

and she gave me some drops, which brought me a little relief so that I could lie down.

I now understand the Lord's warning.

I decided to call any priest at all the next day and to open the secrets of my soul to him.
