Pray for Us

Review

## About the Book "Pray for Us" emerges from author Patricia J. Vazquez's profound spiritual experiences during prayer in a Eucharistic perpetual adoration chapel. After witnessing what she describes as a miracle, Vazquez received inner locutions from God calling her to write a nine-day prayer book specifically focused on ending abortion. The book includes a new parable of the mustard seed that she received during prayer, along with detailed instructions about the book's title, cover design, and accompanying artwork depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus in a field of mustard flowers. Vazquez shares her journey of witnessing multiple miracles while bringing this prayer collection to completion. The book is designed for people of all faiths who believe in God and seek to join in prayer for the protection of unborn life. Six Catholic priests reviewed the manuscript and encouraged its publication, recognizing both the power of the new parable and the potential spiritual impact of these prayers. ## CCMMP Analysis - **Created**: The book affirms the inherent dignity and sanctity of unborn human life, recognizing each person's fundamental worth from conception as made in God's image. - **Fallen**: Addresses the profound brokenness of abortion and its impact on society, acknowledging the need for divine intervention in a world where innocent life is threatened. - **Redeemed**: Points toward healing and restoration through sustained prayer, divine grace, and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering hope for transformation through spiritual action. - **Fortitude-Perseverance**: Demonstrates persistent commitment to a difficult spiritual mission despite challenges, modeling how sustained prayer and dedication can accomplish God's work. - **Temperance-Humility**: Reflects the author's willingness to receive and act upon divine direction, showing proper submission to God's will even when the calling seems beyond personal capabilities.
