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 wrote to you last autumn to ask if you could carry a prayer for my husband, Henry. He was facing a complex heart surgery and we were both very afraid. I sent the prayer asking for the surgeon's skill and for Henry's strength. You carried it for us in St. Peter's. Since the surgery in November, his recovery has been steady. The doctors are pleased. His last check-up showed everything is healing as it should. He is back home now, moving slowly but gaining strength every day. The fear has lifted. I look at the photograph of the card in the Basilica often. It was a great comfort to us both, to know our prayer was taken there. Thank you for what you and your team do. It meant more than I can say. Yours sincerely,
