Our Son Reconnected After Years of Estrangement
Elara, Medford · May 25, 2024
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 am writing to thank your team for carrying my prayer to St. Peter's. For nearly four years, my husband and I had no contact with our son. There was a difficult argument, and he cut us off completely. We carried the weight of that silence every day. I asked you to carry a prayer for reconciliation, for his heart to soften, and for a way forward. I sent my prayer card to you in March. Last week, completely unexpectedly, our son called. He said he'd been thinking about us. We talked for over an hour. It wasn't a perfect conversation, but it was a start. He is coming for a visit next month. The burden we have carried feels so much lighter. Thank you for helping us bring our hope to that holy place. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
