Dedication

Our Lady Light of the Woods is dedicated to the Holy Souls in Purgatory, who are the intercessors responsible for this site, and are praying that we will not fall into the same lapses and errors that they did, but that we will bravely shoulder our cross, deny ourselves and follow Him, discerning rightly His perfect will for our lives, with firm commitment and amendment of life, to live in perfect charity and unity with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Special thanks to the Blessed Mother, under the titles of Our Mother of Mercy and Our Lady of Mount Carmel, for her tender instruction and relentless intercession on behalf of us, her poor servants, to obtain all the graces necessary to complete this work.

And to St. Joseph for the construction and inspiration for this site, St. Clare, St. Francis, St. Pio, St. Seraphim of Sarov, and all our holy angels and Saints who are looking on and praying that by our obedience we will hasten the coming of God's kingdom on Earth.

For the glory and honor of Almighty God. Amen.

Concerning Credits

There will be some readings that I have not been able to remember or find the authors of. Some quotes I have paraphrased to fit the situation at the time.

If you recognize the writings and would like to help me identify any, please feel free to e-mail me and I will be happy to make the adjustment at the earliest possible opportunity.

Please forgive this oversight.

I am drawing from a pool of about 1,300 index cards kept in a shoe box over fifteen years.
