The stories of Thomas Vera are really great because both stories are dealing with the Holy Spirit. The Prayer is about a worried mother praying for his son in Korea, while the untitled story is about a woman who gets controlled by the spirit and lets a woman know about her son. I thought both stories are very touching because to those who have loved ones in the military are always worried about them and are willing to do anything for their safety. In the story The Prayer, I was really moved how the Mother was willing to give up her heart for his safety in Korea. She prays God to protect him from the gunfire. While praying she mentions the Virgin Mary, the Virgen De Guadalupe, and the Virgen De San Juan Del Valle to help in protecting her son. In the untitled story, a woman is controlled by the spirit and is willing to help anyone with a problem. A woman asks about her son and the spirit says not to worry. In my opinion, stories t\like these are a big help with people dealing with these, but it will only help the people who believe in God. Theauthor, Thomas Vera, seems to a person who went through this himself or maybe he did go in the military and his mom told she had prayed for his safety. These stories really get you about it and sometimes you get there and other you don’t. Stories like these like The Prayer and the untitled story give the sense that is hope in this world for people who really need it.I know how this people feel because I had a cousin who went into the military. He came back after two whole years of not seeing him I cried my eyes out not for sadness, but for joy because he had come home safe to us. I feel to this stories because of what it is talking about .I believe in God like Thomas Vera believes in him. In my opinion, I think God is the only that is truly there for u in all hours of the day and night and is the only one that can help you in
