Dear Fr. Marco, I wanted to write and thank your team. Last month, I asked you to carry my prayer into St. Peter's for my upcoming heart surgery. I was carrying a prayer for strength for myself and for the hands of the surgeons. I was so scared. Since the card was placed there, I have felt a quiet peace that was not there before. The surgery went as well as could be hoped. My recovery has been slow but steady. I am at home now, getting stronger each day. I keep the photo of my card on my nightstand. It reminds me that my prayer was carried to that holy place. I don't know what the future holds, but I feel watched over. Thank you for this gentle service.
