Hello, I'm Father Joe Roche of the Marianfathers 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

1772. Jesus said to me, my daughter, have you any difficulties in this retreat? I answered that I

hadn't. In this retreat, my mind is like lightning. I penetrate all the mysteries of faith with great ease. My master and leader, all darkness disappears from my mind under the ray of your light.

Today, for your spiritual reading, you will take the Gospel of St. John, Chapter 21.

Let it feed your heart more than your mind. During the June devotions, the Lord said to me,

My daughter, my favor rests in your heart.

When on Holy Thursday I left myself in the Blessed Sacrament,

you were very much on my mind.

After these words, my love made great efforts to express to him what he was to me,

but I was at a loss for words and burst into tears in my helplessness. And Jesus said, for you, I am mercy itself. Therefore I ask you to offer me your misery,

and this very helplessness of yours, and in this way you will delight my heart.

Today a living flame of divine love entered my soul. If it had lasted any longer I would

have been consumed by the fire, freeing myself of the bonds of the present.
