My Mother's Surgery Went Perfectly

Dear Fr. Marco, I'm writing to share some wonderful news. Back in October, I sent you a prayer card for my mother, Rosemary. She was facing a very difficult and risky surgery, and I asked that she be surrounded by the Lord's peace and that the surgeon's hands be guided. The prayer was carried into St. Peter's, and I kept the photograph you sent with me in my Bible. Her operation was last week. I am so relieved to tell you that the procedure went perfectly. The surgeon said everything went exactly as hoped, and her recovery has been peaceful and steady. I felt such calm throughout the whole ordeal, a real sense of being held. I want to thank you and your team for carrying our petition to that holy place. It was a great comfort to us both. With gratitude,
