Join me, Father Thaddeus Langton, as I lead a 40-day consecration to the Immaculate Conception.

Follow along with my book, Shining and Spotless Splendor, Consecration to the Immaclet

Conception, live on Facebook at the Marion Helpers page, Instagram at the Divine Mercy,

and at divine mercyplus.org at 9 a.m. Eastern Time every morning.

Together, let's consecrate our lives to the Holy Spirit through the love and support of our Lady the Immaculate Conception. Order my book, Shining and Spotless Splendor,

consecration to the Immaculate Conception, in print, or as an e-book at shopmercy.org.

That's shopmercy.org. God bless you. 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 14.02. God in his unfathomable decrees often allows it to be that those who

have expended most effort in accomplishing some work do not enjoy its fruits here on earth. God reserves all their

joy for eternity. But for all that, God sometimes lets me know how much their efforts please him,

and such moments strengthen them for further struggles and ordeals.

These are the souls that bear closest resemblance to the Savior,

who, in the work which he founded here on earth,

tasted nothing but bitterness.

O my Jesus, may you be blessed for everything.

I rejoice that your most holy will is being accomplished.

That is quite enough to make me happy.

Hidden Jesus, in you lies all my strength.

From my most tender years, the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament has attracted me to himself.
