Richard Martini (born 12 March 1955) is an award-winning American film director, producer, screenwriter and freelance journalist.
Martini was born in 1955 and grew up in Northbrook, Illinois. He attended local public schools. He graduated magna cum laude from Boston University with a degree in Humanities, attended University of Southern California Film School and is a 2008 graduate of the Master of Professional Writing Program at USC. His student short film, Lost Angels, was the film debut of fellow Chicago native, actress Daryl Hannah. He took improv classes at Second City in Chicago under Jo Forsberg, and with the Harvey Lembeck Workshop in Los Angeles.
His first documentary film, Special Olympians, won the top prize at the 1980 Mexico City International Film Festival. He made his feature film directorial debut with You Can't Hurry Love, which featured the debut of Bridget Fonda. TNT described it as the “quintessential 80’s comedy.”
Martini left USC to work for writer/director Robert Towne (Chinatown, Mission: Impossible); he served as an acting coach for Robert Evans on the original The Two Jakes. After that Martini wrote his first feature My Champion, which starred Christopher (son of Robert) Mitchum and Yoko Shimada (Shogun). He wrote the comedy Three For the Road for Vista Films, which starred Charlie Sheen.
The devotion to the Sacred Heart (also known as the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu in Latin) is one of the most widely practiced and well-known Roman Catholic devotions, taking Jesus Christ's physical heart as the representation of His divine love for humanity.
This devotion is predominantly used in the Roman Catholic Church and among some high-church Anglicans and Lutherans. The devotion is especially concerned with what the Church deems to be the love and compassion of the heart of Christ towards humanity, and its long suffering. The origin of this devotion in its modern form is derived from a Roman Catholic nun from France, Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, who said she learned the devotion from Jesus during a series of apparitions to her between 1673 and 1675, and later, in the 19th century, from the mystical revelations of another Roman Catholic nun in Portugal, Blessed Mary of the Divine Heart Droste zu Vischering, a religious of the Good Shepherd, who requested, in the name of Christ that Pope Leo XIII consecrate the entire world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Predecessors to the modern devotion arose unmistakably in the Middle Ages in various facets of Catholic mysticism.

Dr. Parti shares an intense and living description of his near death experience, his visit to heaven and hell, and the profound lessons he learned from it. He contrasts his life before and after his near death experience, and how his life changed from materialism to spiritualism, from sickness to wellness, from depression to happiness, from stress management with alcohol to meditation, from pain to bliss, from addiction to recovery. The most important message shared by Dr Parti is that one can have the benefits of NDE without having an actual NDE, by following the simple mantra, Forgive, Love, Heal. In other words, Forgive easily, Love passionately, and Heal quickly. Learn more about Dr. Parti and his near death experience on his website: http://www.drrajivparti.us/my-near-death-experience...

In the time of silence
I saw a trace for my will to be
While in the remnants of my heart
I saw them shine through clouded eyes
In the depths of the night
I reached beyond the brightest stars…
And I touch your wings with my remorse
As I drain my fountain of spring
My deepest reverence
My exposed serenity
From the depths of my boundless heart
I pledge myself to thee
My days of novelty have decayed
I find myself at the end of infinity
