Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
My Mother's Successful Heart 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 sent a prayer card for my mother, who was facing a very difficult heart surgery. I asked you to carry my prayer for the surgeons' hands to be guided and for her recovery. The day after I received the photograph from your team, she went into her operation. The surgery went much better than the doctors expected. She has been recovering well, with fewer complications than they predicted. While she has a road ahead, I feel at peace knowing I was able to send my prayer to such a special place. Thank you for your help.
