My Leg Healed Well After Surgery

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 wanted to write to say thank you. A few months ago, I sent you a prayer card for my leg. I was having surgery on my knee and I was very worried about the recovery. I asked that the surgery would go well and that I would be able to walk properly again. You carried my prayer into St. Peter's, and you sent me that photograph. It was a comfort to me. Since then, the surgery went smoothly. The physical therapy has been hard work, but I have been able to walk without my crutches now for two weeks. It is still a little stiff, but it gets better each day. I am so grateful that my recovery is going so well. Thank you to you and your team for taking my prayer to that holy place. It meant a great deal to me during a difficult time.
