Answered Prayers for Family and Marriage

Peace and Reconciliation After Years of Estrangement

Maren, Bend · January 30, 2021

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 sent a Holy Card for my brother and me. We had not spoken in almost eight years over an old family dispute that seemed impossible to mend. I asked for the grace of forgiveness and a path back to each other. After my card was carried in St. Peter's, I felt a quiet urge to simply write him a letter, without blame, just saying I missed him. He called me two weeks later. We talked for hours. It is slow and careful, but the door is open now. There is a peace in my heart that wasn't there before. Thank you for your gentle service, and to your team for carrying my prayer into that holy place. Sincerely,

Send your own prayer in
