A Peaceful Mind and a Restored Body After Surgery

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 hope this letter finds you well. I was carrying a prayer for my peace of mind and successful healing after my scheduled surgery. I was so anxious and could not sleep for weeks leading up to it. After I mailed my prayer card to you, something changed. The fear just seemed to lift. I went into the operating room with a calm I hadn't felt in months. The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery has been steady. The surgeon said my body is responding beautifully. I still have the photograph of my card in St. Peter's. It reminds me that I was not alone. I can sleep through the night now. Thank you for carrying my worry to that holy place. It made all the difference.
