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 Kavalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with diary entry number 1548.

January 30th, 1938, one day retreat. The Lord gave me to know during meditation that as long as my heart beats in my breast,

I must always strive to spread the kingdom

of God on earth. I am to fight for the glory of my creator. I know that I will give God the

glory he expects of me if I try faithfully to cooperate with God's grace. I want to live in the spirit of faith. I accept everything

that comes my way as given me by the loving will of God who sincerely desires my happiness.

And so I will accept with submission gratitude, everything that God sends me.

I will pay no attention to the voice of nature and to the promptings of self-love.

Before each important action, I will stop to consider for a moment what relationship it has

to eternal life and what may be the main reason for my undertaking

it.

Is it for the glory of God, or for the good of my own soul, or for the good of the souls of

others?
