Answered Prayers for Family and Marriage

Our Marriage Renewed After Years of Drifting Apart

Anya, Boise · December 7, 2022

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, I wanted to write to you about what has happened since my prayer was carried into St. Peter's. I sent a card asking for help for my marriage—it had grown so cold and distant, and we were living like strangers under the same roof. I had carried this sadness for a long time. I asked your team to carry this need. In the weeks after I received the photograph, something quiet began to shift. We started talking again, not just about bills or schedules, but about what was in our hearts. The hardness softened. Last month, we went away for a weekend, just the two of us, for the first time in over a decade. It feels like we are finding our way back to each other. Thank you for carrying my prayer when I felt so alone with it.
