About the Author
It is two years since I completed this writing, and Pentecost approachesonce again.¿ On that day I shall finishthe exposition of the readings for holy Mass (700+ pages) I undertook these twoyears ago.¿ This work, also, I hope topublish.The work I publish here - at the same time as the lyrics for Songsfor Children of Light and a book of poetry titled silence in the city- is my first.¿ Though I have beenwriting regularly for twenty years, only now do I venture intopublication.¿ What shall come of it?¿ Will anyone read these lines?¿ I don't know.¿It is not in my hands.¿ I can onlybe obedient to the Lord's prompting, to His cross.¿ (As St. Faustina,whose Diary I have eaten in the past year, has said - and Jesus has stressed toher - it is the intention that matters and not the work itself.)And in the past month I have begun composing Chanted Verses foreach of the days of Catholic Liturgy; and so another year I shall be in theserented rooms.¿ (And other writings come,as the sword of St. Michael stands by--)As I find I need remarkably few hours teaching to sustain myself, moredeeply do I enter into my hermit's life, increasing practices with the passingdays, and with an eye toward forming an order, if I may, dedicated to the LORD's Divine NAME.¿For this and my other writings I have developed websites.We do not know where the Lord may lead, brothers and sisters.¿ Let us simply be obedient to His call, andlay down our lives for all.June 25, 2003¿"Dear children!¿ Also today I call you with great joy to livemy messages.¿ I am with you and I thankyou for putting into life what I am saying to you.¿ I call you to renew my messages even more,with new enthusiasm and joy.¿ May prayerbe your daily practice.¿ Thank you for having responded to my call."Our Lady Of Medugorje¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
