Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery

Peace and Healing in My Son's Life After Depression

Anya, Duluth · September 2, 2024

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 say thank you. A few months ago, I sent a prayer through your service for my son, who has been struggling with a deep depression. I asked for strength for him and for our family as we supported him through this difficult time. The day after I received the photograph of my prayer card held in St. Peter's, something seemed to shift. It wasn't a dramatic change, but a gentle one. He started talking to us more, and he has since agreed to begin seeing a counselor. The heavy silence in our home has been replaced with small moments of connection. I don't know what the future holds, but I feel a sense of peace I haven't felt in a long time. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my prayer.
