Dear Fr. Marco, I wanted to write to you about my brother, James. He was scheduled for a difficult back surgery last month, and we were all very worried about the recovery time the doctors had told us. I sent a prayer with your team, asking for the surgeons to have steady hands and for James to find strength. The surgery was last Tuesday. The surgeon said everything went very smoothly, much better than they had anticipated. James is already up and walking with less pain than he's had in years. He has a long road ahead with physical therapy, but this first step has given us so much hope. Thank you for carrying our prayer.
