Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
Recovering Better Than Expected After the Operation

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 sent you a Holy Card for my mother, who was facing a difficult and risky heart surgery. I asked for her to be given strength and for the surgeons' hands to be guided. You carried the prayer to St. Peter's, and I kept the photograph you sent on my nightstand. The surgery was last week. The doctors said it went as well as it possibly could have. Her recovery so far has been smoother than anyone anticipated. She is sitting up and talking, and the nurses are amazed by her progress. I don't know what else to say except thank you to you and your team for doing this. It brought us a lot of peace. Sincerely,
Send your own prayer in
