Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marriott 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 367. On one occasion, Jesus gave me to know that when I pray for intentions

which people are wont to entrust to me, he is always ready to grant his graces, but souls do

not always want to accept them.

My prayer overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners.

If only they could understand that I am the best of fathers to them, and that it is for them

that the blood and water flowed from my heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy.

For them I dwell in the tabernacle as king of mercy.

I desire to bestow my graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them.

You, at least, come to me as often as possible, and take these graces they do not want to

accept. In this way, you will console my heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of love.

My heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world.

They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to me for graces.
