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 have an addendum to a letter from St. Faustina to her spiritual

director, Father Sopochko, from April 15, 1937. I'd like to add a few more words to this letter,

which I wrote to you, dear father, on April 11th, but I am only sending it on April 15th because I was

waiting for a clear sign of God's will as to whether I should send it or not. When I had written

this letter, I suddenly began to feel very bad in my lungs. A terrible coughing racked me,

and I felt much worse than I did at the time

they sent me for treatment. I was forced to lie down in bed, and it seemed to me that if this

coughing were to seize me a few more times, it would surely be the end of me. And I thought within myself that probably

it was not God's will for me to leave this convent as I felt so much worse. Therefore, I did not

send this letter and waited for a clear sign of God's will. Today, I am finishing the nivina to the Holy Spirit concerning this matter,

and I once again, I felt so unwell today that it seemed to me that I would not be able to go

down to the chapel. Yet, mustering up all my strength, I went to the chapel. When I received

Holy Communion, I do not know why I began to pray in this manner.
