Dear Fr. Marco, I asked you to carry my prayer before my surgery. It was for the removal of a tumor. I was so afraid of the operation and the recovery. I sent the prayer to your team, and receiving the photo gave me a real sense of peace. The surgery happened last week. The doctors were able to remove all of it, and my recovery has been moving along much faster than they first told me it might. I still have a way to go, but I am so thankful to be home and doing well. Thank you for your quiet service. It meant a great deal to me during a difficult time.
