Answered Prayers for Healing and Surgery
Recovery After Emergency Surgery Was So Smooth

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 and your team, I am writing to share some good news. I had asked you to carry a prayer for my husband, who needed emergency abdominal surgery. The doctors said it was quite serious and the recovery could be long. I sent that prayer to you, feeling so helpless, just asking for steady hands for the surgeons and strength for him. The surgery happened just after you confirmed my card was in St. Peter's. His recovery has been remarkable. There were no complications. He was out of the hospital in half the expected time, and his strength has returned day by day. The doctors keep calling it 'textbook.' We are just so grateful. I keep the photograph you sent on my bedside table. It reminds me of that moment of reaching out, and of the peace that followed. Thank you for this quiet service. With gratitude,
