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 1735. O virgin lovely flower, you will not remain much longer in this world. Oh, how beautiful

your loveliness, my pure bride. No numbers can count you. How dear is your virginal flower.

Your brightness is in no way dimmed. It is brave, strong, invincible. The very blaze of the

noonday sun dims and darkens in the presence of a virgin heart. I see nothing greater

than virginity. It is a flower taken from the divine heart. O gentle virgin, fragrant rose, although

there are many crosses on earth, no eye has seen, nor has it entered into the mind of man

what awaits a virgin in heaven. O Virgin, snow-white lily, you live holy for Jesus alone, and in the

pure chalice of your heart is a pleasing dwelling place for God himself.

O Virgin, no one will sing your hymn.

In your song lies hidden the love of God.

Even the angels do not comprehend what the virgins sing to God.

O Virgin, your flower of paradise
