Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

A Peace I Haven't Felt in Years

Anya, Bellingham · November 2, 2020

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 am writing to thank you. A few months ago, I sent a prayer with your team for my peace of mind. I have struggled with terrible anxiety for so long, and the world felt so heavy. I asked for the strength to simply get through each day. I wanted you to carry that request to St. Peter's. Since my card was placed there, something has shifted. It's not that my problems have vanished, but the weight of them has eased. I am sleeping through the night. I can breathe more easily. It feels like a small crack of light has appeared, and I am able to move toward it. I am deeply grateful for your service, for carrying my quiet plea to that holy place. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
