Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
My Mother's Recovery After Her Fall

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 and your team, I wanted to write to say thank you. A few months ago, I sent a prayer for my mother, who had a very bad fall and broke her hip. I asked for her surgery to go well and for her to find strength in her recovery. I carried her name with me for weeks. After I sent the prayer to you, I felt a deep sense of peace, like a weight had been lifted. Her surgery did go smoothly. The recovery has been long and hard for her, but she is making progress every day. Last week, she walked from her bedroom to the kitchen with her walker, which is something she couldn't do a month ago. Her spirit is brighter. I don't know if it was the prayer being carried to St. Peter's or just time, but I am grateful. Thank you for providing this quiet service. It meant a great deal to me during a very worrying time.
