Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery
Finally Sleeping Through the Night Again

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 a card with prayers for my anxiety and for the dark thoughts that kept me awake. After years of this, I had almost given up hope for a quiet mind. I sent the prayer to you. Since the day I received the photograph of the card in St. Peter's, something began to shift. It's not that the anxiety is gone, but it's quieter now. I've had a whole week where I've slept peacefully. I can breathe again. I wanted you to know. Thank you for carrying my prayer into that sacred space. With gratitude,
