I feel as though I cannot breathe!!!

Sister pulled me aside after RCIA this morning and asked me if I’d received anything from the Tribunal yet. I haven’t, and she then informed me that my annulment is DONE! Apparently my ex was not free to marry me, and the annulment was granted based on that Ligamen. This means that my precious husband of 14 years and I may have our marriage convalidated after the Easter Vigil.

I am so happy, but I can’t bring myself to actually show it because I haven’t yet seen the decision from the Tribunal for myself. I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest - I am eligible to receive the Sacraments, and that is so overwhelmingly joyous news! I wish I could let it all out, but I’m so afraid that Sister has made a mistake or that she has me confused with someone else. Deep down I know that’s not the case, but I will feel so much better when I see it with my own eyes. :eek:

I wish people understood what marriage truly means, and that they would take so much more care before making that committment to one another and to God. I feel such happiness for those who have done it the “right” way, and I will continue praying for those who are trying to make it right.

I am so ready to jump and swim!!! :extrahappy:
 
Congratulations and Praise God. :clapping:
I know just how you feel. :extrahappy:

Best of Luck

that is one thing that must be said for the annulment process, it provides a stringent education on the meaning of marriage, and forces a reflection on that meaning. I am so happy for you and for the sacramental graces soon flowing into you and your family through these celebrations. ooooh I do love Easter

I completely agree with this. I had such an intensely new understanding of what marriage truly is after going through the process myself. And as a result I appreciate, nurture, and respect the REAL marriage I now have so much more than I think I ever would had I not had that experience. It truly is amazing what the process does to you.

Congrats kettle!! So glad that you are finally able to move on with your life, and practice your Faith fully. 🙂

Dear friends
I had a first marriage 22 years ago we were very young and after four years we separate and divorce. We never though about kids.
We were definitely not in love, she asked me for separation and I was in agreed, honestly it was a release. Please don’t get me wrong we don’t and didn’t hate one each other, we really were and are still friends so it was what can be call a friendly separation.
When we married, we just let us go for what it can be defined as social pressure. We were very much physically alike and our families come form the same cultural and geographical background, so we believed marriage was a good idea.
Now I am married again (with another lady) and has been a very happy 15 years marriage we have two wonderful children and we love one each other like the very first day.
Unfortunately since I was divorced, we couldn’t marry by the church.
We both are Catholics and some day we dream to have our ecclesiastic marriage.
Can I get an annulment of my first marriage?, What I have to do?

We will appreciate all you help.
 
suggest you revisit the many threads on this topic on this forum, see experiences of others, and links to good books on the topic. However until you visit your own priest, tell him all the background and get started on the process, you will not get a reliable answer for your own situation.

this is a resource from our diocese on how to begin the annulment process. My suggestion is twofold, start by contacting your local parish priest. Secondly, put into the search engine on this web forum, annulment. There are dozens of threads regarding the specifics on annulment. I hope you will soon be fully reconciled with the church. God bless you.
