Peace Returned After Months of Darkness

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'm writing to thank you for carrying my prayer in St. Peter's. I asked for strength during a very difficult time with my mental health. Things had been dark for so long that I had almost forgotten what peace felt like. After you sent the photo of my holy card held up in the basilica, I can't explain it, but something shifted. The anxiety that had been like a constant noise began to quiet down. I've been able to sleep through the night for the first time in a year. My thoughts are clearer. I know the road is long, but I feel like I've been given a light to walk by. Thank you for this quiet, steady service. It meant more than I can say.
