Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery
My Anxiety Feels Lighter After Your Service
Elara, Bend · August 2, 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, I wrote to you about my struggle with anxiety and asked if you could carry my prayer for peace of mind into St. Peter's. I was so weighed down by it all. After you sent the photograph of my prayer being held there, I felt a small shift. It hasn't gone away, but the heavy feeling has lessened. I am able to breathe a little easier on the difficult days. I don't know why, but something feels different. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my words to that holy place. It meant a great deal to me.
