I HAD<\/strong> the pleasure of speaking alongside Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC in California at a few churches some eight years ago. During our time in the car, Fr. Seraphim confided to me that there was a time when the diary of St. Faustina was in danger of being totally suppressed due to a bad translation. He stepped in, however, and fixed the translation, which paved the way for her writings to be disseminated. He eventually became the Vice Postulator for her canonization.<\/div>\n

A few years ago, someone recounted to me an announcement that was made at a gathering with Fr. Seraphim evidently present, [1]<\/sup><\/a>I initially reported that it was an office at the Vatican, which is how it was recounted to me (it was apparently a bishop who made the announcement at Fr. Seraphim’s birthday gathering); however, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception stated in a video on February 13th, 2021, where they cite this blog, that they have no information on a Vatican connection. cf. 1:23:52 mark at YouTube.com<\/a><\/span><\/span>
