Finding Calm and Stability After a Long Struggle

Sylvia, Bend · September 29, 2022

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, In June, I asked you to carry a prayer for my peace of mind. I was carrying so much fear and anxiety, and it felt like I was drowning in it every day. I sent the prayer to your team, trusting it would be taken to St. Peter's. Since then, I have been able to start therapy, and for the first time in years, I am finding moments of real calm. The constant noise in my head has quieted. I am sleeping through the night. It feels like a heavy door has been unlocked, and I am slowly learning to walk through it. Thank you for carrying my prayer when I felt I had no strength left to carry it myself.
