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 1275. My secretary, write that I am more generous toward sinners than toward

the just. It was for their sake that I came down from heaven. It was for their sake that my blood was spilled.

Let them not fear to approach me.

They are most in need of my mercy.

No medicine had any effect on me, and whatever I swallowed,

I threw up. At times the pains caused me to lose consciousness. Jesus had me realize that in this

way I took part in his agony in the garden, and that he himself allowed these sufferings in order to offer

reparation to God for the souls murdered in the wombs of wicked mothers.
