Marianfathers 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 424. A certain moment, May 12, 1935. In the evening, I just about got

into bed and I fell asleep immediately. Though I fell asleep

quickly, I was awakened even more quickly. A little child came and woke me up. The child seemed

about a year old, and I was surprised it could speak so well as children of that age either

do not speak or speak very indistinctly.

The child was beautiful beyond words and resembled the child Jesus,

and he said to me, look at the sky.

And when I looked at the sky, I saw the stars and the moon shining.

Then the child asked me, do you see this moon and these stars?

When I said yes, he spoke these words to me.

These stars are the souls of faithful Christians, and the moon is the soul of religious.

Do you see how great the difference is between the light of the moon and the light of the stars?

Such is the difference in heaven between the soul of a religious and the soul of a faithful Christian.
