The Divine Mercy Chaplet / Lettra Press LLC (ePub)

My name is James Mark. I am the author of the "Divine Mercy Chaplet - a Deep Meditation." I am 72 years old. My wife and I have 2 children and 5 grandchildren (one by adoption and one through marriage). I now live in a small rural town about 20 miles south of Joliet, Illinois.

One time at the local school the science teacher had to leave so I filled in for about a month as well as doing my duties in the clinic.
When I returned to America, I attended Illinois State University where I earned a master's degree in Special Education. It was also where I met my wife, Donna. I taught in Sp.Ed. classrooms for 27 years before retiring.
After retiring from teaching I started a small lawn mowing business and helped out at my local parish, Immaculate Conception. There I am a teacher of religious education, lector, Eucharistic Minister, and help with general maintenance of the parish from time to time.
