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, Last month I asked you to carry a prayer for my health. I was facing a sudden operation and felt very anxious. After you brought my card to St. Peter’s, I went into surgery. Everything went smoothly, and the doctors said it went as well as possible. My recovery has been steady, and each day I feel a little stronger. Thank you to you and your team for helping me feel that my prayer was heard in such a holy place. It brought me a lot of comfort during a difficult time.
