Finding Peace After a Long Depression

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 had been carrying the weight of depression for a long time, and I felt so alone with it. I wrote it all down on my card, a prayer for some light and strength, and sent it to you. In the weeks since you carried my prayer to St. Peter's, a kind of quiet has settled in my heart. I'm finding it easier to get through each day. I don't know how to explain it, but it feels like a heavy curtain has been pulled back a little. I don't feel so lost anymore. Thank you for what you and your team do. It meant a lot to send my prayer there.
