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 Cavalska from beginning to end. Today we take up from where we left off, beginning with

diary entry number 1746. Be adored, O God of mercy, because you have deigned to descend from heaven

to earth. Most humbly we adore you, for you have vouchsafed to exalt all mankind,

unfathomable and incomprehensible in your mercy, for love of us you take on flesh,

from the Immaculate Virgin ever untouched by sin, because you have willed it so from all ages.

The Blessed Virgin, that snow-white lily, is first to praise the omnipotence of your mercy.

Her pure heart opens with love for the coming of the word.

She believes the words of God's messenger and is confirmed in trust.

Heaven is astounded that God has become man, that there is on earth a heart worthy of God himself.

Why is it that you do not unite yourself with a seraph, but with a sinner,

O Lord? Oh, because despite the purity of the virginal womb, this is a mystery of your mercy.

O mystery of God's mercy, O God of compassion, that you have deigned to leave the heavenly throne

and to stoop down to our misery, to human weakness, for it is not the angels, but man who needs mercy.
