He Walks with the Brokenhearted: A Priest’s Work with Divorced Families

What if everything you thought about marriage… wasn’t the full story? Father Jaimes Ponce isn’t just a priest, he’s one of the people the Church turns to when marriages break down. As a canon lawyer and judicial vicar, he helps determine whether a marriage was ever valid in the first place. Behind the paperwork are real people, real wounds, and stories most never hear. In this powerful and surprisingly human conversation, Father Jaimes shares his journey from losing his father before birth to helping others find healing, what actually happens in an annulment case (it’s NOT what most people think), and more. Blending psychology, pastoral care, and Church law, his work sits at the intersection of truth and compassion. This is one of those conversations that might completely change how you see marriage, faith, and the Church. If you’ve ever wondered how the Church handles divorce (or if you’ve lived it or know someone who had) this is worth your time.
