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 1559.

At that moment I saw Jesus, and from his heart, there issued those same two rays which enveloped me, whole and entire. At the same time all my

torments vanished. My daughter, the Lord said, know that of yourself you are just

what you have gone through, and it is only by my grace that you are a participant of

eternal life and all the gifts I lavish on you.

And with these words of the Lord, there came to me a true knowledge of myself.

Jesus is giving me a lesson in deep humility, and at the same time, one of total trust in him.

My heart is reduced to dust and ashes,

and even if all people were to trample me under their feet,

I would still consider that a favor.

I feel and am, in fact, very deeply permeated with the knowledge that I am nothing,

so that real humiliations will be a refreshment for me.

February 3, 1938.
