Read Bio
Patricia Sandoval
Patricia Sandoval's riveting life story is an unusually gripping, hard to put down ride along a journey that leads to an extraordinary triumph of God's mercy--the mercy that waits patiently for all of us. Patricia came from a broken home, good and bad boyfriends, three abortions, a job at Planned Parenthood (where she was told never to reveal what she saw), followed by methamphetamine addiction and homelessness. The miraculous way that Jesus came to her in the streets will leave you breathless, as will the heights to which God has since carried her.
Patricia is an international pro-life and chastity speaker who has appeared on countless television and radio shows, as well as co-hosted shows on EWTN-The Eternal Word Television Network. Patricia has dual citizenship in the United States and Mexico, and throughout Latin America is regarded as a primary voice for the unborn, chastity, and post-abortion healing. Sandoval shares her message of God's mercy, healing, and gift of life in packed stadiums and media channels across the globe.
Homeless, living on the streets, addicted to drugs, three abortions and working for Planned Parenthood...

Agony in the Garden
by Michael Gregory McGinnis
Agony in the Garden - by Michael Gregory McGinnis
As we approach the season of Lent, we are reminded in this beautiful rendition of the Agony in the Garden, the importance of prayer. We can gain insight about prayer by reflecting on Jesus’ own prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. As he starts to pray, Christ addresses God as “Abba” (Mk 14:36). In the most difficult and frightening part of His life, Jesus throws Himself with utter confidence and trust upon the love of His Father. Jesus asks his heavenly Father to “Let this cup pass from me” (Mt 26:39). Although He does not give Jesus what He had ask, He does hear Jesus and answer Him. (MT 26:39) “And to strengthen him an angel from heaven appeared to him.” (LK 22:43)
Marisol is that angel to the women we serve at Marisol. Let this beautiful and bold painting remind us the prayers of the women who come to our door at Marisol. Let this beautiful and bold painting remind us of the prayers of women who come to our door at Marisol. This painting is a reminder during this Lenten season and beyond that we can trust that He will give us the strength to carry out His will, just as He did for Christ in the garden always hearing and answering our prayers.
Special thanks to Margaret & Doug Raitt
