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 Kavalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off,

beginning with Diary Entry Number 294.

Once the Lord said to me, act like a beggar who does not back away when he gets more alms

than he asked for, but offers thanks the more fervently.

You too should not back away, and say that you are not worthy of receiving greater graces when I give them to you.

I know that you are unworthy, but rejoice all the more, and take as many treasures from my heart as you can carry, for then you will please me more.

And I will tell you one more thing.

Take these graces not only for yourself, but also for others.

That is, encourage the souls with whom you come in contact to trust in my infinite mercy.

Oh, how I love those souls who have complete confidence in me.

I will do everything for them.

At that moment, Jesus asked me, my child, how is your retreat going?

I answered, but Jesus, you know how it is going.
