Dear Fr. Marco and your team,
I wrote out a prayer for my daughter's safe travels. She was driving across the country alone to start a new job, and I was so worried about her. I sent that prayer to you last month, asking for her protection on the long roads.
You carried it into St. Peter's, and I have the photograph of the card. I keep it by my bed. Just yesterday, she called me. Her car had broken down in the middle of nowhere, but a kind family stopped to help her right away. They waited with her for the tow truck and even offered her a place to stay for the night. She said she never felt alone or in real danger. She arrived at her new apartment safely, tired but whole.
I don't know why things happen the way they do, but I am so thankful she is home. Thank you for carrying my worry into that quiet place.
Gratefully, Elara
