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 17.06. During Vespers today, the Lord gave me to know

how very pleased he is with a pure and free heart. I felt that it is God's delight to look into such a heart. But such hearts are

nightly hearts. Their life is a constant battle. On my way to the veranda, I went into the chapel

for a moment. My heart was plunged into profound adoration, praising God's incomprehensible goodness and his

mercy. Then I heard these words in my soul. I am and will be for you such as you praise me for being.

You shall experience my goodness already in this life, and then to the full in the life to come.

O Christ, I am most delighted when I see that you are loved and that your praise and glory

resound, especially the praise of your mercy oh

Christ to the last moment of my life I will not stop glorifying your goodness and mercy

with every drop of my blood with every beat of my heart, I glorify your mercy.

I long to be entirely transformed into a hymn of your glory.

When I find myself on my deathbed, may the last beat of my heart be a loving hymn in praise of your unfathomable mercy.
