Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you asking for prayers as I faced surgery for a complicated back problem. I was very anxious, and carrying that prayer to St. Peter's felt like a great comfort. I sent the prayer to your team a few weeks before the operation. The surgery went as well as the doctors could have hoped for. Since then, my recovery has been steady and full. The pain is much less, and I am able to do things I couldn't for a long time. Thank you for the part you played in bringing my prayer to that holy place. With gratitude,
