Scientists
are confident that stem cells may become the basis for
treating diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes,
and heart disease – at some point in the future after
much testing for safety and effectiveness. Because of
stringent rules in the United States, treatments using
stem cells are only just beginning.
But
physicians around the globe are already using stem cells
to treat these diseases. Whether these treatments are
safe and effective has not been conclusively proven
using strict scientific standards. What is known is that
many desperately ill or disabled patients travel many
miles and spend many thousands of dollars to obtain
these treatments.
This
book of prayers is for those patients, of course, but
also for all patients now and in the future who seek
relief from their diseases and disabilities through stem
cell-based therapeutics.
There
is a nearly universal human need to talk to God, to
communicate our deepest needs, fears, desires, etc. This
need may manifest itself in expressions of gratitude, of
love, of awe and wonder, of praise and glorification,
and of remorse. Very often it manifests itself in pleas
for consolation, for help, for mercy.
Each
day, people all over the world are moved to worship and
adore God, and to acknowledge that they are dependent
upon God.
The
Gospels mention many times that Jesus himself often
withdrew to quiet, desolate places to pray.
As St. Augustine once wrote, “He wishes our desires to
be expressed in prayers so that we may be able to
receive what he is ready to give.”
It
is our hope that this small Treasury of Prayers will be
a constant companion of patients seeking stem cell
treatments and will be used frequently as an aid to
beginning a personal conversation with God.

"I confess
I never prayed much at all until I was diagnosed with
congestive heart failure and decided on the stem cell
treatments. Your little book got me started in prayer
and guided me the whole way. I can't tell you how glad I
am that my best friend found [the book] and gave it to
me. My prayer life continues and is much richer now that
I am home safely from my trip."
