Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
A Peaceful Recovery After Heart 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, I sent a prayer to your team back in March for my husband, Robert, who was facing a difficult heart surgery. I asked for strength for him and for the hands of his surgeons. The day after you wrote to say my prayer was carried into St. Peter's, he went into his operation. The surgery went as well as the doctors could have hoped. His recovery has been peaceful and steady. He is home now and getting stronger each day. I don't know why, but I felt a deep calm after receiving the photograph of my card. It reminded me that we were not alone in our worry. Thank you for what you do. Yours,
