My Son Found a Way Forward After Addiction

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 sent a prayer for my son, Sam. I carried it for his recovery and peace. After you carried my prayer card, I felt a quiet strength to simply keep loving him. He has been attending meetings regularly for two months now. He seems calmer. He’s talking about finding a job. I don’t know what the future holds, but today he is trying. Thank you for holding our prayer in that sacred place. It was a light for me when I felt very lost. Blessings to you.
