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 sent a prayer on a card for my own strength. I was in a very dark place for a long time. I asked for the intercession of the Blessed Mother to help me find a way through the fog of it all. I didn't know how I would keep going.
You carried my prayer in St. Peter's, and when I received the photograph, I held onto it. It felt like an anchor. I can't say the darkness lifted all at once, but slowly, I started to get up in the morning. I started to pray the rosary again. I am seeing a counselor now, which I had been too afraid to do. My mind is quieter.
I still have difficult days, but they are not the same. There is a peace I didn't have before. I believe my prayer was heard. Thank you for carrying it to that holy place.
With gratitude,
