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 wanted to write to you. Back in March, I sent a prayer for my husband, who was about to undergo a very serious and complicated open-heart surgery. I asked your team to carry it, and I was so moved when the photo of the card arrived. The surgery itself went longer than expected, but the surgeon was able to do everything he needed. The recovery in the hospital was difficult, but my husband came home. Since then, his strength has returned week by week. He is walking daily now, and his last check-up showed his heart is functioning well. The fear I carried for so long has finally eased. I believe in the power of prayer and I am so grateful you offer this way to connect with St. Peter's. Thank you for your gentle service. With gratitude,
