Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery

My Mother is Walking Again After Hip Surgery

Serafina, Bellingham · June 1, 2026

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 you about my mother. I sent a prayer card for her recovery from hip replacement surgery. The months after the operation were very hard for her, and she was so discouraged. When I received the photo of the card in St. Peter's, I showed it to her. It gave her a real sense of peace. Her physical therapy has been going much better since then. Last week, she walked from her bedroom to the kitchen without her walker for the first time. It's a slow road, but she has more hope now. Thank you for your team's quiet work.
