Finding Peace After a Long Struggle

Celia, Burlington · May 28, 2023

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 wanted to write to say thank you. Last month, I sent a prayer for my daughter, who has been fighting severe anxiety and depression for years. It was a prayer for some peace, for her to find a little light in the darkness. You carried it for us at St. Peter's. Since the card arrived and you sent the photograph, there has been a slow but real change. She has started to sleep through the night again. She told me she feels a little less heavy. It is not a sudden fix, but it is a start. I feel a weight has lifted from my own shoulders, too, just knowing our prayer was placed there. Thank you for this quiet service. It meant more than I can say. With gratitude,
