Peace During the Hardest Days of Depression

Dear Fr. Marco, I sent you a prayer for my son Rowan, who has been struggling with a deep depression that nothing seemed to help. For months, I felt helpless. After I received the photo of the card in St. Peter's, I felt a sense of comfort I hadn't felt in a long time. It didn't feel like a magic fix, but like a small anchor. In the weeks that followed, Rowan started to talk more. He agreed to try a different doctor, and while it's still a day-by-day journey, he seems to have found a little more strength to face it. Thank you for the quiet work your team does. It felt like a light was held up for us when we couldn't hold one ourselves.
