My Son Finally Found Peace After a Long Struggle

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 you to carry a prayer for my son, Leo. He has been carrying such a heavy burden for years, struggling with deep sadness and fear that kept him from living his life. After many doctors and treatments, we felt so weary. I sent the prayer card for him, asking for a quieting of his mind and for him to find a way to rest. I wanted him to feel God's presence, to know he is not alone. It has been a few months now. I won't say everything is perfect, but there has been a change. Leo has started to talk more openly. He is sleeping through the night, which he hasn't done in a long time. Last week, he told me he felt a sense of calm for the first time in years. I don't know what the future holds, but I am grateful for this moment of peace. Thank you to you and your team for taking our prayer into that holy place. It felt like we were heard.
