Our Son Finally Came Back to the Faith
Anselma, Boerne · July 18, 2020
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 to you back in May. I was carrying a prayer for my son, who had left the Church years ago and said he would never return. I asked for his heart to be softened, for God to find a way to reach him where he was. I sent you the prayer card for him. Last week, completely out of the blue, he called me. He said he'd been having dreams about his grandmother, who was so devout, and he felt a pull he couldn't explain. He asked if he could come with me to Mass this Sunday. He came. He stayed through the whole thing, and he even went up for a blessing during communion. He hasn't said he's fully back, but he's open. He's talking. After ten years of silence on this, it feels like a door has been cracked open. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but today there is hope. Thank you for carrying that prayer for my boy when I felt so helpless.
