My Daughter's Surgery Went Better Than Expected

Dear Fr. Marco, I had been so worried about my daughter's upcoming surgery. I wrote a prayer for her strength and for the surgeon's hands, and sent it to your team to carry into St. Peter's. The surgery was this past Tuesday. The doctors said everything went very well, much smoother than they had anticipated. She is recovering now, and her spirits are better than I have seen in a long time. I feel a sense of peace about the whole situation that I didn't have before. Thank you for carrying our prayer.
