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 239. Prayer during the Mass on the Day of the Perpetual Vows.

Today I placed my heart on the pattern where your heart has been placed, O Jesus,

and today I offer myself together with you, to God, your father and mine, as a sacrifice of love and praise.

Father of mercy, look upon the sacrifice of my heart, but through the wound in the heart of Jesus.

May 1, 1933, First Day.

Union with Jesus on the day of perpetual vows.

Jesus, from now on, your heart is mine, and mine is yours alone. The very thought of your name, Jesus, is the delight of my heart.

I truly would not be able to live without you, even for a moment, Jesus.

Today my soul has lost itself in you, my only treasure.

My love knows no obstacles in giving proof of itself to its beloved.

The words of Jesus during my perpetual vows.

My spouse, our hearts are joined forever. Remember, to whom you have vowed.
