After Years of Struggle, I Feel My Mind is Finally My Own Again

Elara, Bellingham · April 11, 2025

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 and your team, I sent you a Holy Card asking for peace for my mind. I carried the name of my son, who passed, and my own name, as I’ve battled the grief and darkness that followed. I was in a very low place. Since my prayer was carried in St. Peter’s, I can’t explain it, but a quietness has come over me. The panic attacks have eased. For the first time in years, I can sit with my memories of him and feel love more than pain. I didn’t think this was possible. I am just so thankful I found your service. It felt like a hand reached out. With gratitude,
