      This book is dedicated to you, My Dear Loyal Readers, my fellow Prayer Warriors for the Holy Souls.

       You’ve accompanied me, you’ve walked with me, in freeing souls from purgatory and giving them the infinite gift of God, the Beatific Vision. Together, we’ve helped them reach heaven!

      I’m so pleased and humbled to be a part of this wonderful team. We are the “two or three gathered” in His name, and Our Lord, Divine Mercy, is with us.

      And, as you well know, so is St. Faustina.

      With much affection and prayers for you and for the souls of your dearly departed,

      Susan
