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 had asked you to carry a holy card for my wife, who was diagnosed last year. The diagnosis came as a shock, and we felt so afraid. I sent the prayer for her healing and for peace for our family. Since the card was carried in St. Peter's, her treatments have gone as well as we could hope. The doctors are pleased with how she is responding. Her last scans showed good progress. The heaviness we carried has lightened some. We are taking things one day at a time, but there is more hope now. Thank you for this quiet service. It felt like we had a small, steady light with us.
With gratitude,
