Dear Fr. Marco, I wanted to share some good news. A few weeks ago, I sent you a prayer card for my father, asking for guidance for his surgeons and strength for his recovery from a difficult heart procedure. The day after I received the photograph from your team, he went into surgery. The doctors said it was more complicated than they anticipated, but they were able to complete everything successfully. He is home now and his strength is returning day by day. It was a frightening time, and having the prayer in St. Peter's felt like a great comfort. Thank you for your service.
