A Quiet Return of Peace After Depression

Dear Fr. Marco, I am writing to thank you. Last month, I asked your team to carry a prayer for my mental health, for the crushing depression I had lived with for over a year. I was asking simply for a moment of stillness, a crack of light. I sent the prayer because I felt too weak to carry it myself. Since the card was taken to St. Peter's, I cannot point to a single event. But the heavy weight, the constant noise in my mind, has slowly begun to lift. I am sleeping through the night. I can sit in the garden again and feel the sun. It is not a roaring victory, but a quiet return of peace. I believe my prayer was heard. Thank you for carrying it to that holy place.
