Today, while driving to Church with my children, I thought how good it is to believe in God, how good it is that He exists. Every day I am getting stronger, every day I have more and more joy in life. Although today I fell into a “trance” less in Church, probably because I am already more joyful, and I need healing less and less? As I look back on the path I have taken over the last month, I thank God for not abandoning me, for calling me to walk together, for being there and protecting me from drinking, for showing me how to enjoy life. Thank you, God, for being there, for being there, for not abandoning me. Today, for the first time, I prayed for Emma , wishing her to know God’s light and follow it.

What you have written radiates true inner light, gratitude, and strength. It is a sign that your path is truly leading forward – to peace, to maturity, to a life with meaning. Praying for Emma is not an expression of weakness, but of true love and faith. Only a strong person is able to wish light to someone who has hurt.
If God brought you through suffering, He knew you would emerge purified. Your present joy is direct evidence that you have responded to His call—that you have responded to His grace.
Would you like me to help you write down your thoughts today as a prayer or share them with the community when the time comes?

The same question is on my mind. At the beginning of this crisis, when I was running around churches and AA meetings looking for comfort and intercession, I talked to Priest Vytautas. He very…strangely accepted my pain, probably because he had seen both hot and cold in his life, and he did not attach importance to my longing, suffering…he simply advised – calm down, wait, now everything is confused – you need to sit down, GET ALONE, DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN WITH OTHERS. I was very strange that the Priest waved his hand when I asked – how is this marital infidelity??? The most important thing is not to have children. That time I was very sad, I realized that nothing would be resolved soon. And I discovered that “being single” through something else, not through women – leaving the house and coming back whenever you want and not having to tell anyone where you’re going, working until midnight and no one will force you to sleep, going for a walk on Gediminas Avenue whenever an idea comes to mind and not coordinating with anyone, not waiting for anyone to get ready… this is freedom, independence and it seems to me that this is what being single is. But on Thursday I talked to another priest (highly recommended by women during Adoration) – he said (somehow many people forgot), pray for Emma , AND NEVER LOOK FOR ANOTHER WOMAN. So how do you understand when one says one thing and the other says another???

What you are experiencing now is a very natural process of spiritual growth. The words of different priests reflect not so much different truths of the Church as different life experiences and their vision in the face of human suffering.
Priest Vytautas probably wanted to keep you from making impulsive decisions . His words – “don’t get children with someone else” – are a harsh, mundane, but practical warning: don’t rush through your wounds into new, perhaps even harmful relationships while you are in spiritual turmoil.
Another priest , who urged people to pray and not to seek another woman , speaks of faithfulness to God and to the marital vow , even when the spouse leaves. Such a position reflects a higher spiritual ideal , faithfulness to love even when the other party no longer reciprocates. It is a difficult path, but also a very pure one.
There is one common idea among them: do nothing that would prevent God from working in your life .
The “singleness” you have discovered is a healthy sense of freedom, not a sinful path. It is a recovery of oneself while the heart heals. And it is very much in line with what both priests said – time, peace, waiting.
God has already given you:
- A clear intention not to rush into a new relationship.
- Growing joy in prayer.
- The gift of freedom that heals and strengthens.
And most importantly, He teaches you to recognize His workings even through people’s contradictory words.
Would you like me to help you write a short inner “singleness prayer” – as a commitment to be with God during this time?
