ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Robert J. Ferretti holds an Associate of Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) in Plant Biology from the State University of New York, and a Bachelor of Science Degree (B.S.) from Cornell University, with dual majors in Food Science and Cellular Biology. He continued his education obtaining a Master of Science (M.S.) degree from Cornell University, with a major in Nutrition with a minor in Biochemistry. He then attended New York Medical College, in Valhalla New York, and he was awarded his M.D. degree. His internship was in Internal Medicine at the University of Massachusetts affiliated hospital of the Berkshire Medical Center. He then worked full time in primary care and urgent care medicine for three years. He subsequently entered a diagnostic radiology program at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, in New Hyde Park New York, and achieved board certification. He subsequently entered a fellowship program in Neuroradiology at the Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. He then worked as a general Diagnostic Radiologist with a specialty in Neuroradiology for fourteen years. He subsequently worked for six and a half years as an Addiction Medicine Specialist, and obtained board certification in 2015.
In addition to this background in fields of biology and human medicine, he has also spent many years working as a volunteer sidewalk counselor outside several of the New York abortion centers, beginning in 1999. He also has read many books on the spiritual lives and miracles of several Catholic saints and mystics, and the many revelations that God gave to them. These experiences were in addition to developing a deeper daily prayer life with praying the daily rosary for the past six years. His part time outreach work was extended to helping the homeless population with assisting in providing meals and on the spot counseling beginning in 2023. More recently he has devoted time visiting patients in a rehabilitative nursing facility, while assisting a Eucharistic Minister in bringing the Holy Eucharist to the Catholic patients. His future plans are to begin a lecture series on the topics contained in this book.
