About the author

This private website is devoted to the promotion of the Holy Rosary and the development of extended Rosary mysteries for private meditation created by:

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Daniel Krizan, M.Sc., D.Sc., KHS is a distinguished researcher and author of numerous scientific publications and patents in the field of materials science. Originally from Slovakia, he pursued his studies in Belgium and has been living and working in Austria for more than 20 years. 

He was consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary on October 7, 2023, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary and he is a member of the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary at the Dominican Marian Center in Kosice, Slovakia. Further, he received a membership in the Mission Mass Association of Society of the Word of God in Nitra, Slovakia, as a gift. He is also a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem in Austria.

Inspired by his personal patron, St. Bartolo Longo—known as the Apostle of the Rosary—Prof. Krizan is dedicated to promoting devotion to the Holy Rosary and to the Blessed Virgin Mary, both within and beyond the Order, particularly in connection with efforts to support peace in the world and especially in the Holy Land. He is also engaged in the study of the history and theory of the Holy Rosary, as well as in the Rosary development for personal devotion.

Besides "Per Mariam ad Jesum", his motto reflects a doxology present in the Slovak version of the Litany to the Holy Spirit:

Holy Spirit, with Your divine help, teach me to live for the honor and glory of God, for the salvation of souls, and for the joy of the Mother of God, so that I may die as a useful servant. Amen.
