Our Son Found His Way Home

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 wrote to you last autumn. I was carrying a prayer for my son, who had left home and was struggling terribly. We felt so helpless. I sent his name to your team, asking for St. Peter's to intercede for him, to guide him back to himself and to us.
This spring, he called us. He said he was ready to talk. It was slow, and hard, but he has come home now. He is seeing a counselor. He is quieter, but he is here. The bitterness is gone. We are just taking one day at a time, and we are so grateful to have him with us.
Thank you for carrying that little card. It gave me a quiet hope to hold onto when there wasn't much else.
Peace, Arlen
