A Peaceful Passing for My Wife

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 had you carry a Holy Card for my wife, who was in her final days with cancer. I prayed for her to find peace and comfort, and for strength for our family. You sent me the photograph of the card held up in St. Peter's. She passed away last week, at home, with no pain. It was very gentle. In the weeks after I sent the prayer, there was a calm in our house that had been missing. We were all able to be with her, and say what we needed to say. I am so thankful her suffering is over. Thank you for carrying our prayer to that holy place. It gave me something solid to hold onto when I felt lost. Sincerely,
