My surgery went better than expected

Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you asking for prayers before my open heart surgery. I was so afraid, and carrying that fear alone felt heavy. I asked your team to carry my prayer card for a successful operation and peace of mind. Since the card was taken into St. Peter's, a quietness came over me that I hadn't felt in months. The surgery itself went very smoothly, the surgeon said it was one of his most straightforward procedures. My recovery in the hospital has been steady, and I was able to go home a few days earlier than they initially thought. I'm taking it one day at a time, but I am deeply grateful for the calm I felt and the good outcome. Thank you for this gentle service.
