Dear Fr. Marco, I wrote to you a few weeks ago asking for prayers as I faced major surgery. I was carrying a prayer for strength and for the hands of the surgeons. I had the card sent to your team, and you were kind enough to carry it into St. Peter's. My surgery was last Tuesday. It went as well as could be hoped, and the doctors are pleased with my progress. The recovery is slow, but I feel a sense of peace through it all. It is a comfort to know my prayer was taken to such a holy place. Thank you and your team for this quiet service.
