Acknowledgments

To Our Holy Mother Mary: Thank you for your intercession when I
first met the homeless man, Richard, at St. Vincent de Paul Church
in Los Angeles. I felt he was an angel guiding my heart to believe
that all things are possible with God. Your spiritual presence at the
church garden gave me the strength and faith to complete the
Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching, Built for God.

The prayers you offer for the world demonstrate your deep and
abiding love for all of humanity. It has helped me have a closer
relationship with your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior,
through my devotion to the Rosary. This has led to numerous
blessings and triumphs in my life and opened new doors I could not
have imagined.

Your visit to my daughter Paige at the St. John Fisher Church in
2020 was a miraculous event that transformed the family. Paige
regularly encourages the family to come together to pray the
Rosary. Additionally, her initiative to fast on Wednesdays and
Fridays with mom has positively influenced her siblings to do the
same. Watching them pray daily has been a most divine experience
that strengthens my faith in God to fulfill the Promise He put in my
heart.

Flame of Love: Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy
womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Love over all of
humanity, now and at the hour of our death, Amen!
