A Calmness I Hadn't Felt in Years

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you a few months ago. I was carrying a prayer for my own mental health, for peace of mind and for the strength to get through a very dark time. I had been struggling with anxiety and despair for so long that I couldn't remember what it felt like to be still. Sending that prayer to your team felt like sending out a small, quiet plea into the world. Since my card was carried into St. Peter's, I can't say everything is fixed, but something has shifted. The constant noise in my head has softened. I've been able to sleep through the night more often, and I find I can sit with my thoughts without them spiraling. It feels like a small clearing has opened up inside me, a space for calm I hadn't felt in years. Thank you for the quiet service you provide. It meant a great deal to me. Sincerely,
