Summary

"Today, my soul is preparing for the coming of the Lord, who can do all things, who can make me perfect and holy." St. Faustina writes. Listen in as Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, reads from this modern spiritual classic.

The Lord’s “Secretary of Divine Mercy,” St. Faustina, wrote what has become a modern-day spiritual classic — a blueprint for living a sacramental life in union with Jesus Christ. For anyone who may think the Diary is too thick and formidable, Fr. Joseph Roesch, MIC, has the solution. Join him for a few minutes each day as he reads from the Diary and offers commentary. Over the span of one year, you will have “read" the Diary, beginning to end, and absorbed its rich teachings.

1:02.0	Today my soul is preparing for the coming of the Lord, who can do all things,
1:08.0	who can make me perfect and holy. I am preparing very carefully for his reception,
1:14.6	but there arose the difficulty of how to present this to him. I rejected it, this difficulty

1:57.1	And so, O my Jesus, I understand the meaning of host, the meaning of sacrifice. I desire to
