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, I wrote to you last month to carry my prayer for my son, who has been struggling terribly with anxiety and hopelessness. His world had become so small and dark. I sent that prayer to you, asking for peace for him and strength for our family. This past week, he told me he finally felt like he could breathe again. He has started taking small walks with me in the evenings, something he couldn't manage for a long time. The heaviness is lifting, day by day. Thank you and your team for carrying our worry into that holy place. It felt like we were not alone. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
