The Weight Has Lifted from Our Marriage

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 in August, asking you to carry a prayer for my husband and me. Things had been so hard between us for so long. We were barely speaking. I felt hopeless.

After I sent the card and received the photograph, something quiet began to change. It wasn't a sudden thing. It was more like the heavy, cold feeling in our home started to thaw. We began to have short, real conversations again. Last week, for the first time in over a year, we went out for coffee together and just talked, without arguing.

I don't know what the future holds, but the silence is broken. The weight has lifted. I am so grateful you were there to carry our prayer when I couldn't carry it alone anymore.

Thank you for this gentle work you do.

Warmly,

Send your own prayer in
