| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our daily rosary meditation. Let's begin in the name of the Father and the |
| 0:03.7 | son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Let's call to mind all those we've promised to |
| 0:07.2 | pray for. Jesus asked St. Faustina to begin a novena to the Divine Mercy on Good Friday concluding |
| 0:17.7 | on the first Sunday of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday, which we are doing. But first, it is important to get to know St. |
| 0:29.2 | Faustina, because she's a close friend of mine. Now I pronounce her name Faustina |
| 0:35.0 | because a former student of mine, |
| 0:37.0 | Jed meallowitz, God rest his soul, |
| 0:40.0 | politely reprimanded me for pronouncing her name incorrectly. |
| 0:50.7 | Now Faustino was born on August 25th, 1905 in Poland, and from the age of 7 she heard the |

| 1:36.7 | one of her sisters. About what happened next, she writes, while everybody was having a good time, my soul was experiencing deep |
| 1:47.0 | torments. As I began to dance, I suddenly saw Jesus at my side. |
| 1:53.0 | Jesus racked with pain, stripped of his clothing, all covered with wounds, |
| 1:59.0 | and he spoke these words to me. |
| 2:02.0 | How long shall I put up with you and how long will you keep putting |
| 2:07.2 | me off? At that moment the charming music stopped and the company I was with vanished from my sight and there remain Jesus and I |
| 2:30.0 | Our Father who art in heaven, hollow it be your name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us to stay our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, amen. |
