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 Kovalska from beginning to end. Today, we take up from where we left off, beginning with Diary Entry Number 168.

When the person who so strongly opposed my participation in the retreat saw me, she showed

surprise and dissatisfaction.

Paying no heed to this, I greeted her affectionately and went to visit the Lord

in order to learn how I should conduct myself during the retreat. My conversation with the Lord

Jesus before the retreat. Jesus told me that this retreat would be a little different from others.

You shall strive to maintain a profound

peace in respect to your communings with me. I will remove all doubts in this regard. I know that

you are at peace now as I speak to you, but the moment I stop talking to you, you will start looking

for doubts. But I want you to know that I will affirm your soul to such a degree that even if you

wanted to be troubled it will not be within your power.

And as a proof that it is I who am speaking to you, you will go to confession on the second

day of the retreat to the priest who is preaching the retreat.
