Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace and Healing After a Dark Time

Ansel, Boise · January 8, 2023

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 wanted to write and share what has been happening. I sent a prayer for my son, who has been struggling with deep depression. The day your team carried the card to St. Peter’s, I felt a small sense of relief, like a burden had been lifted. Since then, he has begun to open up more, slowly seeking help, and the heavy weight in our home feels lighter. It is not an instant change, but a gentle shift toward hope. Thank you for carrying our prayer to such a sacred place.
