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 1702. Towards the end of the way of the cross, which I was making,

the Lord Jesus began to complain about the souls of religious and priests, about the lack of love

in chosen souls.

I will allow convents and churches to be destroyed.

I answered Jesus, but there are so many souls praising you in convents.

The Lord answered, that praise wounds my heart because love has been banished from convents.

Souls without love and without devotion.

Souls full of egoism and self-love.

Souls full of pride and arrogance.

Souls full of deceit and hypocrisy.

Leukwarm souls who have just enough warmth to keep them alive. My heart cannot bear this.

All the graces that I pour out upon them flow off them as off the face of a rock.
