Answered Prayers for Mental Health and Recovery
Peace Came After a Long Depression

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 you a prayer for peace and healing for my mind last winter. I was carrying a request for help with a deep depression that had lasted for years, for myself. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to have a quiet moment.
After the card was carried, slowly, things began to change. It wasn't a sudden flash, but a gradual softening. The heavy dread I woke up with every morning started to lift. I found I could sit still without the noise in my head being so loud. My therapist says my progress has been remarkable. I am managing, day by day, in a way I couldn't before.
Thank you for carrying my prayer when I felt too weak to carry it myself.
With gratitude,
