By Testimony,
I know I have to be faithful to my spouse, I know what the words of the oath mean, and I am aware that I have made many mistakes and in many ways I am responsible for our marital crisis.
The crisis in my marriage began not long ago, this August. The first prayer I found online was the daily Movement of Faithful Hearts prayer of entrustment: Prayer for the revival of a marriage. I said this prayer for around a month; later my wife sent me a link for a series of lectures by Father Piotr Glas, an exorcist. I watched it with interest, but also with horror. I also read a book which touches upon the same topicsand later came across the RCS TV channel on YouTube and watched other lectures by Father Piotr Glas and Father Mieczysław Piotrowski. I was particularly impressed by Father Mieczysław’s lecture on the Eucharist. Father Glas talked about the effectiveness of the Novena of Pompeii, and I read a testimony by Małgorzata, which spurred me to say a novena for my marriage. I interrupted it, however, around the thirty-fifth day and now have begun to say it from the beginning. I wanted to share these lectures with my friends, but alas, they are not interested, and even if they are, they still cannot understand them. That’s too bad, because thanks to them one can avoid so many mistakes! Thus I found the Movement of Pure Hearts website, and through that the Movement of Pure Hearts for Married Couples and finally the Movement of Faithful Hearts. It turned out that ever since the beginning everything was going in that direction. I had asked God to show me the way and so he did, but people often have to be explained things many times, because they cannot see straightforward paths. I know I have to be faithful to my spouse, I know what the words of the oath mean, and I am aware that I have made many mistakes and in many ways I am responsible for our marital crisis. I was a roommate to my wife, spending my time on playing, pleasures, work and cleaning up; but I was not close to her. I am also aware that it was above all me who needed to be healed. I beg you to offer prayers for me. K. K. I am thirty-two years old and have two children: a daughter of eleven and a sixteenmonth- old son. This year me and my husband would have celebrated our twelfth anniversary, but unfortunately in June my husband left me for his mistress, who is nine years younger than me. I would never have expected that my husband would be able to cheat on me, because usually it was him who was jealous about me. Moreover, we had just celebrated the birth of our beloved son. I believed I was such a fulfilled woman and I couldn’t even have thought my husband could have someone else. But he did — allegedly just a “friend”, but later he fell in love with her so much that he decided to leave me. He always underlined that he never left the kids; he would come once every a week or two to spend a couple of hours with them. He was convinced that’s what parenthood was about. I was able to talk to him, but he would repeatedly tell me to have no hopes, because he was not coming back. Unable to help myself in any way, in August I decided to begin my first Novena of Pompeii, asking the Blessed Virgin to help our sacramental marriage. I persisted until the end. My husband stopped pushing for a divorce, and so far I haven’t received a formal summons. God has given me peace; before, I had not been able to function normally. But my husband still does not want to come back. I have not given up, though, and after the first novena I began another, with the intention of casting off the devil who is trying to break up our sacramental unity. Until recently, my husband had been visiting us; now he has stopped, and his calls are less and less frequent. Nevertheless, I decided not to give up. I know that I have to persist in prayer. I know that I have to save my husband and our marriage. Every now and then I feel I don’t have enough strength, and so I decided to join you.
