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 1498.

I remained silent,

and by an act of will,

I dwelt in God,

although a moan escaped from my heart.

Finally, the tempter went away, and I, exhausted, fell asleep immediately. In the morning, right after receiving Holy Communion, I went immediately to my cell,

and falling on my knees I renewed my act of submission in all things to the will of God.

Jesus, I ask you, give me the strength for battle.

Let it be done to me according to your most holy will.

My soul is enamored of your most holy will.

At that moment I saw Jesus who said, I am pleased with what you are doing, and you can

continue to be at peace if you always do the best you can in respect to this work of mercy.
