After six long years of debilitating Bipolar Disorder I considered making a trip to Our Lady of Consolation. I had anger, anxiety and a deep rooted hurt that bound me up like a caged animal. I could not break out of this clouded darkness that hovered over our family and home. My wife stayed by my side despite a very unpleasant living environment. I went to Our Lady of Consolation with an open mind that this was to be my cross to bear I would do so in and for God’s glory, but I just wanted my family to be around a happy dad and for my wife to have a fun husband once again.
 The day I left the Shrine I felt peaceful and my heart did not race like it always had done before. Every ounce of mean-spirited, angry and spiteful feeling that had previously filled my being was lifted. I went home and it took some time for my wife to believe that a true miracle of this sort could take place so close to her and our children. But each day has slowed down for me and I cherish the new life God has given me.
 There is no doubt I have been healed of this horrid disease of the mind. I encourage everyone to know all things are truly possible with God. Thanks for giving me back my family and my family back to me through faith, hope and prayer, Lord!
