Dear Fr. Marco, I sent a prayer on your card for my knee replacement surgery to go well. I was very worried about the recovery and being able to walk my dog again without pain. I asked you to carry it in St. Peter's, and I received the photograph of it there. It gave me a lot of peace before the operation. Since the surgery, my recovery has been steady. The physical therapy is hard, but last week, for the first time in years, I was able to walk around the block without my cane. My dog was so happy. I don't know what the future holds, but right now I am grateful for this progress. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my prayer.
