My Sister's Recovery After a Difficult Surgery

Anya, Boise · May 2, 2024

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 and your team, I sent a prayer card for my sister, who was facing a very complex spinal surgery. The doctors were concerned about the risks and the long recovery. I asked that your service carry our prayer for her strength and the surgeon's skill. I received the photo of the card in St. Peter's, and it brought me a deep sense of peace during those anxious weeks. Since her operation, my sister's progress has been steady. The surgeons were pleased with how it went, and her pain is managed. She is now at home, beginning her physical therapy with more hope than we dared to have. I am so thankful. I believe our prayers were heard. Thank you for this quiet, beautiful work. Sincerely,
