Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery
My Anxieties Have Eased and I Am Able to Sleep 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, I wrote to you asking for prayers to carry for my mental peace. The anxiety had become so heavy I could barely function, and sleep felt impossible. I sent you my prayer for some quiet in my mind. Since my card was carried in St. Peter's, I have found a new sense of calm. The anxieties haven't gone away completely, but they are quieter now. I have been able to sleep through the night for the first time in months. It feels like a great weight has been lifted. It was a comfort to know my prayer was taken there. Thank you for your team's help in carrying it.
