Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace After a Long, Dark Season

Ansel, Bend · September 30, 2020

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 asking you to carry a prayer for my mental and spiritual peace. I was in a very low place, struggling with a weight I couldn't name. I sent the prayer for myself. Since the day your team sent the photo of the card in St. Peter's, something gentle has shifted. The panic doesn't come as often. I sleep through the night now. I can sit quietly and feel a sense of being held, which I hadn't felt in years. I know the journey isn't over, but I am so grateful for this light. Thank you for carrying my plea to that holy place.
