Peace and Sleep Returned After Years of Anxiety

Ansel, Bend · February 5, 2026

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 my prayer for peace in my mind and for the ability to sleep again. The years of constant worry and the endless nights had worn me down completely. I sent the prayer for myself, trusting you would take it to St. Peter's. Since my card was held there, something has slowly shifted. The tightness in my chest began to ease. For the first time in years, I have had nights where I sleep through until morning. The thoughts that used to race in circles have grown quieter. I don't feel so afraid all the time. I am so grateful to you and your team for carrying my prayer to that holy place. Thank you for this quiet service.
