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 had my prayer card for a successful surgery and recovery carried into St. Peter's Basilica last month. I was facing open heart surgery and was very anxious. Since you carried my prayer, my surgery went well. The doctors were pleased with how it went. My recovery at home has been smoother than we expected. I can walk further each day, and the pain is manageable. I feel God's presence in this slow and steady healing. Thank you to you and your team for carrying my prayer to such a holy place. It brought me great comfort during a difficult time. Sincerely,
