Summary
"They were praying fervently, but to no avail, for themselves; only we can come to their aid," 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.

| 1:12.5 | The dear Mother Superior sent me with two other sisters for a rest to Skolimov, not far |

| 1:44.1 | fervently but to no avail, |
| 1:46.5 | for themselves. Only we can come to their aid. The flames which were burning them did not touch |
| 1:53.5 | me at all. My guardian angel did not leave me for an instant. I asked these souls what their greatest suffering was. They answered me in |
