Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you asking for prayers for my mother, who is in a lot of pain from her cancer. These last few weeks have been very hard. I sent the prayer to your team, and since the card was carried in St. Peter's, I have noticed a change in her. She seems more at peace. The medicine is finally helping more than it was, and she is able to rest better. It feels like a weight has been lifted from our family. Thank you for providing this quiet service.
