Pursuing the Future Our Lady Has Promised Us
Suzanne Pearson
Suzanne Pearson is an American Catholic laywoman whose professional career spanned the U.S. political arena and the world of music, and whose expertise on Blessed Karl of Austria, Out Lady of Fatima, Catholic prophecy, and other faith-related issues has made her a sought-after speaker both in the United States and abroad. She earned her A.B. degree from San Diego State College (now University) with honors in music, with a second major in history and political science. For many decades she worked for the U.S. Senate in the Office of Legislative Counsel (the non-partisan “law firm” of the Senate), giving her an insider’s view on the workings of government, while also pursuing a second career in music as a soprano soloist, church musician, and member of Washington’s prestigious Choral Arts Society. An exceptionally strong early grounding in the Catholic faith gave her a lifelong interest in Church teachings, Marian apparitions, and the lives of the saints. Other major influences in her life were the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, in whose 1968 presidential campaign she served, and the late Father Malachi Martin, who became her spiritual director. For the past two decades, her interest has focused on Blessed Karl of the House of Austria, whose Cause for canonization she promotes in the United States and Canada as Delegate of the Vienna-based Emperor Karl League of Prayer. Years of intensive research have made her one of the world’s foremost experts on his life and times. This, along with her perceptive insights on current issues facing the Church and society, have created growing demand for her new role as a writer and speaker.
