Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery

My Daughter's Heart Surgery Was a Success

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 am writing to thank you and your team. A few months ago, I sent a prayer for my daughter, Anna, who was scheduled for a very serious heart surgery. I asked that she be kept safe and that the surgeons' hands be guided. I was so anxious, and having the prayer carried in St. Peter's gave me a quiet comfort. Her surgery went as well as the doctors could have hoped. The recovery has been slow, but steady. We are home now, and she is getting stronger each day. Thank you for this gentle service. It was a gift to feel a little closer to something greater when I was so afraid. Yours, Elara
