Mother's Hip Replacement Surgery Went So Well

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 wrote to you to carry a prayer for my mother, Therese. She was facing a very difficult hip replacement surgery. Her pain had been constant for years, and she was afraid. I asked you to carry a prayer for her courage and for the surgeon's hands.
You carried our prayer in September. Her surgery was last month. The doctor said everything went perfectly, better than expected. Her recovery has been faster than anyone predicted. She is already walking with a walker and has very little pain. Her spirit is so much brighter.
I know you just carried the prayer. But I wanted to thank you and your team for that. It gave us both a real sense of peace while we waited. Please keep carrying prayers for people who are scared.
With gratitude,
