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 1577. Tell souls not to place within their own hearts obstacles to my mercy,

which so greatly wants to act within them. My mercy works in all those hearts which open their

doors to it. Both the sinner and the righteous person have need of my mercy. Conversion,

as well as perseverance, is a grace of my mercy. Let souls who are striving for perfection particularly

adore my mercy, because the abundance of graces which I grant them flows from my mercy. I desire

that these souls distinguish themselves by boundless trust in my mercy. I myself will

attend to the sanctification of such souls. I will provide them with everything that they will need

to attain sanctity. The graces of my mercy are drawn by means of one vessel only, and that is trust.

The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive.

Souls that trust boundlessly are a great comfort to me,

because I pour out all the treasures of my graces into them.

I rejoice that they ask for much, it is my desire to give much, very much. On the other hand, I am sad when souls ask for little, when they narrow their hearts.
