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 wanted to write to you about my sister. She was facing a total knee replacement surgery back in February. I was so worried for her, and we prayed every day. I wrote her name on one of your prayer cards and sent it to your team to be carried in St. Peter's. Since her surgery, her recovery has been better than anyone expected. The physical therapist said she's progressing faster than usual. She's walking with much less pain already. I don't know what the future holds, but for now, things are going well. Thank you for carrying our prayer. Sincerely,
