Sister Faustina was absolutely touched by Christ. No one could write the prayers she wrote without the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Father Joe for bringing her diary to us through this podcast.

Learn about St. Sr. Faustina and her amazing message of Divine Mercy

Fr. Joe Roesch does an amazing job of narrating and summarizing a few sections of St. Faustina’s diary each day so you want to miss a day!! The message of Jesus Meriful Love for us needs to be shared with everyone!!

Thank you Father for taking up this task

These small bites are much greater than their size in how profound they are. When we see how intimate Jesus can be with St Faustina, we see how personal Jesus is. We see that we too can talk to Jesus as a child. We see how much he loves us as an individual soul. He is not distant unless we distance ourselves. Jesus is as close as we allow and invite Him. And St Faustina shows how her humility and devotion were keys to the Heart of Jesus. Thank you Father. Your commentary is also so spot on. You’re obviously tied to the heart of St Faustina.
