Personal Acknowledgments

I’m delighted to share with you some very special heroes in my life. Without them this awesome book wouldn’t have been possible!

To Jaymie Stuart Wolfe. My OSV editor and supporter. It was so helpful having a partner as we navigated the book to its finish.

To Jill Adamson. My OSV Senior Trade Marketing Leader. You’re beyond amazing, wearing so many hats as you make my works — and “The Purgatory Lady” — known throughout the world. Thank you!

To Bill Dodds. My favorite copy editor. This is our fourth book together and, once again, you went above and beyond what I could imagine. Awe-inspiring! You truly live up to your OSV nickname: “The Master.” You helped make this book exquisite … and a sure best-seller. My deepest thanks!

To Father Dan Cambra, M.I.C. My dear friend and persistent, gracious hero who goes out of his way to make sure everything is on track between Our Sunday Visitor and the Marians. You made the St. Faustina Trilogy possible and will always have a special place in my heart.

To Steven Jay Gross. As St. Paul says, there are no words deep enough to express my gratitude. For close to four decades now, you’ve always been there for me. Always. You’re my champion. Like St. Faustina, you help me get closer to becoming a saint. I couldn’t do this without you. Infinite thanks. And special thanks to your wife, Carol Gross, who cheers for me behind the scenes.

To Deacon Mike McCloskey. You’re so kind, so helpful. I don’t know what I’d do without your outstanding help.

To Sister Claudia Radzewicz, MChR. You were a whiz at locating St. Faustina’s favorite song. Not an easy feat. I’m most grateful for your assistance.

To Father Kazimierz Chwalek, M.I.C. You wouldn’t accept an ordinary translation of St. Faustina’s song, but retranslated all four verses. The most poetic and touching translation for all the world to read. And you sang it too. Thank you!

To George Foster. Even with one arm in a sling this year, you still spent time after hours and on weekends meticulously going over my manuscript, making sure every i was dotted and every t was crossed. I appreciate that so much. You’re the best!

To Loyola University Chicago Library Head, Dr. Yolande Wersching, and Vanessa Crouther. My extraordinary researchers who always find just what I need to make my work a success. I’m so grateful that I have you both!

To Jean Studer. You always lend me your ear and offer good advice. Thank you.

To Maria Faber. I am grateful for your help in finding the other favorite song of St. Faustina. You always come through and are a special friend.

To Garrett Fosco. Your beautiful cover design captures the essence of this book! Thank you very much.

To the heroes behind the heroes. I’ve been an author with Our Sunday Visitor for twenty years. While I haven’t met all the staff personally, I so appreciate what all of you do for me … and for the holy souls. You’ve helped make my books award-winning best-sellers.
