Peace Returned to My Heart After Months of Darkness

Anya, Bozeman · July 21, 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 thank you for the prayer your team carried into St. Peter's for me. For the last year, I have been struggling with a deep anxiety that made it hard to even leave my house. I sent you a prayer for peace, for a sense of God's presence in the fear. I don't know how to explain it, but in the weeks after I received the photograph of my prayer there, things have felt different. Not perfect, but lighter. The constant tightness in my chest has eased. Last week, I was able to go to the grocery store without the panic I'd come to expect. It feels like a small crack of light has finally broken through. Thank you for this quiet, steady service. It meant more than I can say. God bless your work.
