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 Cavalska from beginning to end.

Today we have a letter from St. Faustina to Father Sopochco from November of 1937.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Most Reverend Father in Jesus Christ, I am terribly sorry to take up your

time with reading this letter.

However, these divine affairs urge me to write.

I kindly ask you, Father, to talk for brief while with the Lord Jesus about this whole

matter, which weighs heavily on my heart. Please, deign to reply to me, Father, according to the

light received from God, neither permitting any human thought, nor taking into account any creature,

including myself, but taking into consideration solely God's will. I am writing this only because I feel these strong

impulsions within me. Yet, in my present disposition, I am not going to undertake anything because I fear that

in this haste I might somehow harm this divine matter.

In the present circumstances, your word, Father, is of tremendous significance to me.

I am unable to write anything else at the present moment due to this light

which has blinded me with its immensity, and then my soul finds itself as if in darkness.

One more word. I am taking part in an eight-day retreat in the course of which the Lord has confirmed me in deep peace.

I am very sorry if I have written anything inappropriate, but I am entirely at peace, because I know to whom I am writing.

At the present, I cannot write anything more. I kiss your hand

with the deepest respect, Reverend Father, and ask your priestly blessing. Sister Maria Faustina,

Krakow, 10th of November, 1937.

This letter comes six months after the last one.
