Aquí, al principio de este libro, no quiero explicar mucho sobre mí (quien soy, o dónde vivo, o dónde estudié), en su lugar, me gustaría simplemente presentarlo como es: una colección de tesoros que Jesús ha compartido con mi corazón. Al hacer esto espero ser testigo del gran poder que la Cruz de Jesús contiene en sí misma. Mi corazón se estremece al pensar de mi vida interior con Él, tan abierta ante el mundo, pero debo recordar que mi esposo fue crucificado desnudo—dando todo de Sí mismo al mundo, y permitiéndonos alcanzarlo y tocar Sus heridas desnudas, para que podamos conocer el abismo insondable de Su Amor, contenidas en ellas. Y por eso, debo estar ‘desnuda’ espiritualmente con Él, para que todos ustedes puedan recibir Su Amor en esta forma íntima. Ya que Jesús da tales dones para ser compartidos con todos en Su Iglesia. Ruego que quien soy yo, no los distraiga de Quien es Él, ya que eso es lo que Él quiere mostrarles aquí. Todo lo que soy es: Su pequeña esposa crucificada, hecha una con Él en la Cruz. Él es todo en mí. Y así, similar a San Pablo, debo vivir simplemente para poder decir: “No soy yo quien vive, sino Cristo Crucificado vive en mí.” Ruego que ustedes lo encuentren en estas páginas. Amén. Aleluya. Fíat.

Mary Kloska is from Elkhart, Indiana. She was raised in a huge Polish family (12 brothers and sisters) along with a lot of foster babies and other needy people in and out of the house. She presently has 70+ nieces and nephews. She has lived a very unique life. Upon graduating from Notre Dame in 1999 she spent almost 20 years in the missions serving the poor (including orphanages) as well as praying as a consecrated hermit all over the world –Siberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, the Holy Land and all over Europe as well. Although she spent a lot of time away in silence praying, ironically she loves children and is very fun and outgoing when it comes to serving young adults, as well as the little ones. She also spent her time in the missions giving retreats, doing simple catechesis, leading prayer groups, giving spiritual direction, helping in deliverance, changing diapers, feeding babies and cleaning floors. After spending intense time serving in a mission she would withdraw for periods of ‘retreat’ as a hermit (including three years as an official diocesan hermit with vows under a Bishop.) The last few years she has spent as a fulltime nanny to infant triplets, twins and several large families. She speaks many languages (poorly) and enjoys playing guitar, painting icons, baking, gardening, reading, writing and simply filling in where there is the greatest need in the Church. Her WCAT Radio program, “The Heart of Fiat Crucified Love,” may be found
