Peace Returns After Years of Anxiety

Dear Fr. Marco, I wanted to write to thank your team. Back in March, I sent a prayer to be carried to St. Peter's. It was for my son, who has struggled with severe anxiety for years. It had become so heavy for him, and for our whole family. We felt so helpless. After you sent the photograph of the card in the Basilica, something quiet began to change. It wasn't sudden. But over these last few months, the tightness in our home has eased. My son has started seeing a new counselor, and for the first time, he is truly engaging. He sleeps through the night now. He told me last week that the constant 'noise' in his mind has softened to a whisper. I don't know how to explain it, except to say that a feeling of peace has settled where there was only dread. I look at the picture you sent often. Thank you for carrying our prayer when we felt we couldn't carry it ourselves.
