Answered Prayers for Family and Marriage
A New Start After a Bitter Divorce
Lorraine, Bend · July 12, 2025
This is the sender’s own account, sent to us after their prayer was carried in. It is not a promise that the same will happen for anyone else.
Dear Fr. Marco and your team, I wrote last fall. I carried a prayer for peace in my family and for my own healing after a long, bitter divorce. It was for my children and for me. I sent that prayer to you. I don't know how to explain it, but in the months since, a quiet has settled. The anger that was so constant has lifted. My children are talking to me more openly. We had our first calm holiday in years. The legal matters finally concluded. I feel like I can breathe again. Thank you for carrying my words when I had so few of my own.
