of the 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 1334. In the meditation on sin, the Lord gave me to know all the malice of sin and the

ingratitude that is contained in it. I feel within my soul a great aversion for even the smallest sin.

However, the eternal truths I have been meditating on

do not bring me even a shadow of disturbance or unrest in my soul.

And although I take them very much to heart, my contemplation is not thereby

interrupted. In this contemplation, it is not transports of the heart that I experience,

but a depth of peace and a wonderful silence. Although my love is great, I experience an extraordinary equilibrium.

Even receiving the Eucharist causes no feelings, but brings me to a depth of union where

my love and God's love are fused together as one.

Jesus has made known to me that I should pray for the sisters who are making the retreat.

During prayer, I learned of the struggle that some are undergoing,

and I redoubled my prayers.
