Summary

"Immediately I heard this voice: I do accept; you are in My Heart," 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.

When I returned from the chapel, Mother Superior asked first of all,

1:05.0

well, has the Lord accepted you?

1:07.0

I answered, yes.

1:09.0

If the Lord has accepted, she said, then I also will accept. This is how I was
