Dedicated with great love …
To my five children, Justin, Chaldea, Jessica, Joseph, and Mary-Catherine. They are all wonderful, unique, and beautiful human beings. They have given me great joy and loving direction in my vocation as a mother.
I thoroughly enjoy my journey with them.
To my mother, Alexandra Mary Uzwiak Cooper, and my father, Eugene Joseph Cooper, in loving memory and in thanksgiving for bringing me into this world.
In loving memory of my deceased brother, Gary John Cooper.
To my dear friend, Reverend William Smith, who is a great source of inspiration and guidance.
To my husband, David, for his love and support.
He is the wind beneath my wings.
And lastly, I dedicate this prayer book in honor and loving memory of two “saints” of our time: Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, whom I had the great privilege of knowing, and our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, who holds a very special place in my heart.
Encouraging words about this book to the author from
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta:
“My gratitude is my prayer for you that you may grow in the love of God through your beautiful thoughts of prayer you write and thus share with others.”
“Your books on mothers and expectant mothers are much needed. Yes, you may use some of the things I said on motherhood and family…. I pray that God may bless your endeavors.”
“God has given you many gifts — make sure you use them for the glory of God and the good of the people. You will then make your life something beautiful for God. You have been created to be Holy. I assure you of my prayers and hope you pray for me also. Keep the joy of loving Jesus ever burning in your heart and share this joy with others.”
About this book, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta also said, “I pray that it does much good.”
