My Back Surgery Was a Success

Dear Fr. Marco and your team, I wrote to you earlier this year to carry a prayer for my upcoming spinal fusion surgery. The pain had been so constant for so long, and I was very frightened. I asked for your help to carry my prayer for the surgeon's hands and for peace. You sent the photograph of my card from St. Peter's, and I kept it with me. The surgery went exactly as hoped. The recovery has been long, but steady. For the first time in years, I can stand without that sharp pain. I am walking a little more each day. I don't know what the future holds, but this relief is a gift. Thank you for carrying my worry when I couldn't hold it myself.
